Replacing The Gaskets - OHAUS Valor 2000 Service Manual

CHAPTER 3 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

3.10 Replacing the Gaskets

The Main Gasket that seals the opening between the two housings may need to be replaced
because of wear or corrosion. This may also be true of the small gasket-washers that seal the
screw holes in the Bottom Housing, the Load Cell Seal Gasket (also called the Bellows Gasket),
and the metal seal washers for the bolts that secure the Pan Support and Load Cell on the Top
Housing. They are sold as a set.
The Main Gasket fits snugly on the lip of the Bottom Housing. Install it there first. Then the Top
Housing will fit correctly when the two housings are put together.
Note: Remember to install the Main Gasket before reconnecting the cable that links the Power
PCB to the Main PCB.
Install the Load Cell Seal Gasket very carefully (to avoid tearing or stretching it) over the
opening in the Top Housing, before installing the Pan Support.
Note the placement of the gasket-washers, as shown in Figure 3.4:
