1.8 Preventative Maintenance and Cleaning

Make sure that the instrument is in a clean, dry working environment (dust-free, moderate temperature,
low humidity, etc.).
Make sure the instrument is on a level surface.
Hands/fingers must be clean and free of sample residue. Not doing so may result in deposit build-up on
the upper part of the shaft and cause interference between the shaft and the pivot cup.
Be sure to remove the spindle from the instrument prior to cleaning. Note left-handed thread. Severe
instrument damage may result if the spindle is cleaned in place.
When cleaning, do not apply excessive force, which may result in bending spindles.
