12 - MAINTENANCE

Routine maintenance will help keep your pipette
in good condition, ensuring a continued high
level of performance. Maintenance is limited to
cleaning or autoclaving the parts specified
under "Cleaning and Decontamination" or to
replacing the push-button, connecting nut, tip-
ejector, tip-holder, seal and O-ring.
Pipetman P2 and P10 should not be dis-
assembled, so you may only replace the push-
button, tip-ejector, dual position tip-ejector and
its adapter; with these pipettes if the tip-holder
is damaged, the piston may also be damaged.
