Prechecks Before You Start:
signs of leakage from the vessel or the motor assembly. If signs of leaking are observed from the mo-
tor, it is recommended that the motor assembly be replaced (A08 for 110v instruments or A10 for
220v instruments) as part of the Preventative Maintenance. Pause the Preventative Maintenance and
obtain the appropriate motor for the instrument configuration if leaking has occurred.
Also verify the efficiency of the level sensor by entering diagnostics and inspecting the level sensor
reading (refer to Level Sensor Check procedure on pages 6 or 7 in this process guide). If the value is 5
or less, clean the glass tip on the level sensor probe in the vessel and check the reading again. Use a
cotton swab with alcohol to wipe the tip of the level sensor. Cleaning Procedure can be found at

If the value is still 5 or less, replace the level sensor assembly (A32) before starting the Preventative
Maintenance process.
