Maintenance - Thermo Scientific FINNPIPETTE COLOR Guide D'utilisation

MAINTENANCE

When the FINNPIPETTE is not in use
make sure it is safely stored in a vertical
position. We recommend Finnpipette
stand for this purpose.
SHORT TERM CHECKING
The pipette should be checked at the
beginning of each day for dust and dirt
on the outside surfaces of the pipette.
Particular attention should be paid to
the tip cone. No other solvents except
70% ethanol should be used for
cleaning the pipette.
LONG TERM MAINTENANCE
0,5-1000 µl (Fig.8)
If the pipette is used daily it should be
checked at least twice a year. The
servicing procedure starts with
disassembly of the pipette.
1. Depress the tip ejector pusher.
2. Insert the tooth of the service tool into
the opening at the base of the tip ejector
pusher.
3. Pull away the tip ejector shaft and tip
ejector pusher.
4. Remove the tip cone by turning it
counterclockwise with the service tool.
5. Pull out the piston.
6. Remove the O-ring from the tip cone.
In model 5-50 µl the O-ring is located
deep inside the tip cone. It can be
removed by using the thin end of the
piston.
In model 0,5-10 µl the O-rings cannot
be changed. We recommend to
regrease the piston only.
7. Clean the piston, the piston spring
and the O-ring with a dry napless cloth.
8. Check the cylinder for foreign particles.
9. Grease the cleaned parts with
lubricant provided in the package.
10. Reassemble the parts.
1-5 ml (Fig.9)
1. Insert the tooth of the service tool

ejector pusher.
2. Pull away the tip ejector and tip
ejector pusher.
