1. Blow off dust with dry, low-pressure, deionized air (approximately 9 psi).
2. Remove any remaining dust with a lint-free cloth dampened in isopropyl
alcohol (75% solution) and rinse with warm deionized water. (A cotton-tipped
applicator is useful for cleaning in narrow spaces and on circuit boards.)
NOTE.
If, after performing steps 1 and 2, an assembly is clean upon inspection,
skip the remaining steps.
3. Gain access to the parts to be cleaned by removing easily accessible shields
and panels. (See page 4-5, Removal and Installation.)
4. Spray wash dirty parts with the isopropyl alcohol and wait 60 seconds for the
majority of the alcohol to evaporate.
5. Use hot (120 °F to 140 °F) deionized water to thoroughly rinse them.
6. Dry all parts with low-pressure, deionized air.
7. Dry all components and assemblies in an oven or drying compartment using
low-temperature (125 °F to 150 °F) circulating air.
There is no periodic lubrication required for this instrument.
