Rack and shaking plate
Disassemble the rack from the shaking plate and spray it with disinfectant, or place it in mild, soapy water. Then,
rinse the rack off under running water and allow it to dry.
Clean the shaking plate and its feet (Fig. 1 no. 1) using a cloth or rag moistened with mild, soapy water.
Pay particular attention to the O-rings (Fig 1. No. 2) of the feet; deposits or wear on the O-rings
may impede the shaking drive, or completely block it. If the shaking drive is imp
eded, the drive’s
service life will be reduced. Replace the O-rings if required.
Also pay attention to the slight foot elevations (Fig. 1 no. 3); these must be clean and present.
The elevations are subject to normal abrasion and wear, and the feet must be replaced if so
required. These are available as a set; contact the manufacturer or the authorised supplier.
Never place or immerse the shaking plate in liquid (e.g. for cleaning), as this may destroy the
magnets and ball bearings in the feet.
When using the FAST option:
Clean the O-rings and the rack pins (Fig. 2 no. 4 and no. 5), check the O-rings for brittleness and
cracks, and replace them if required. After cleaning, lubricate the O-rings with the supplied
lubricating grease, 4051, and check their functioning. Remove any leftover grease with a dry,
clean cloth. Clean the special holes (Fig. 4 no. 3) on the rack. All grease deposits and any
encrustations must be removed in order to ensure easier, quicker handling.
3.2
Repair and maintenance
For safety reasons, we recommend that the DancerPlus undergoes yearly maintenance by an authorised
technician. This will include the device interior being cleaned, all wearing parts and safety elements being checked
(and replaced if required), and a safety measurement being carried out. The DancerPlus and its system devices
will also be tested for correct functioning.
Repair and service work is described in a separate service manual and may only be carried out
by authorised technicians.
If repairs or maintenance by an authorised technician are required, the DancerPlus and its system
devices must be properly disinfected and decontaminated beforehand. The technician must be
made aware of any potential residual risks, and suitable protective measures must be made
available.
