Maintenance:
Proper maintenance ensures reliable performance and long instrument life. Key maintenance intervals include:
-
Daily: Empty the xylene waste bottle; inspect and clean internal components as needed
-
Every 2 weeks: Replace activated carbon filters after two weeks of continuous use
-
Monthly: Empty and clean the film waste tray; brush rollers and blade assembly to remove resin dust
-
Every 10 rolls of film (~10,000 slides): Replace the cutter blade, or sooner if film cuts become ragged or torn
-
As needed: Soak slide baskets in xylene to remove resin/xylene residue buildup; inspect baskets weekly for wear or stress
-
Extended idle periods: Power down the instrument and roll the film back onto the roll to prevent curvature from roller contact
