15.2.2 Cleaning the Washing Head
The washing head cleans the outer surface of
the aspirating tip with diluent. Any salt build-up
on the lower surface may cause malfunction
during operation. The wash head must be
removed from the needle assembly for correct
cleaning.
Open the front panel, and secure it with the
support bar. The right side panel of the
analyzer must be removed to access the wash
head. Loosen the 2+2 screws on the front and
rear of the side panel. The panel can be pulled
off the analyzer.
Figure 100. Wash head
Locate the sampling needle. Be careful! The sampling needle is sharp, and
can cause injury!
The wash head should be “twisted off” from the
needle, and pulled off downwards. Use a soft
cloth dampened with water to clean the bottom
of the wash head.
To put the wash head back:
Push the wash head onto the needle. Push it up
as much as you can (taking care of the sharp
needle) and lock it back by twisting it into the
grooves of the holding rods.
Replace the side cover and close the front
panel.
