SERVICING AND CLE ANING
The three main components of the manifold can be easily
separated and disassembled for servicing, cleaning or replacing
parts. The procedures are illustrated on the following pages.
The changing of the O-rings on the individual

nose cones is described in detail in the in-
structions enclosed with the spare part.
The main components of the manifold
A
Piston unit with piston support bar [I] and pistons
inserted in this unit, which can be unscrewed indi-
vidually for cleaning or replacement.
B
Nose cone assembly with nose cone support bar
[II] and central guide rod (Z), which is attached to
this, and the nose cones and seals, which can be
unscrewed individually for cleaning or replace-
ment.
C
Manifold housing, which is connected to the mani-
fold housing cover [III] of the piston unit with two
turn-lock fasteners.
Servicing
In order to assure proper functioning, the ErgoOne
E -8/-12 should be serviced and cleaned at regular
intervals.
What is to be inspected?
1.
Inspect nose cones, pistons and seals for damage
and contamination.
2.
Test the sealing of the instrument. To do this aspirate
a sample, and then hold the instrument in a vertical
position for about 10 sec. If a drop forms at the tip
orifices, see the troubleshooting guide on page 34.
Cleaning instructions (page 28 - 31)
1.
Clean single nose cones, pistons and nose cone sup-
port bar/piston support bar (these components only)
with soap solution or isopropyl alcohol then rinse with
distilled water.
2.
Let these parts dry and cool down completely. Re-
sidual moisture in the nose cones may result in a loss
of accuracy.
3.
Grease the piston with a very thin coating of the sili-
cone grease supplied. For the central guide rod (Z)
only use the recommended fluorstatic grease!
4.
After assembling the device, perform the reference
run (rEF).
