3.2 INSPECTION / CLEANING
The operator should inspect the ATPIAL before each use
and after it has been in extreme conditions, such as
prolonged exposure to intense temperatures. The following
procedures will prolong the life of the ATPIAL and help
ensure safe operation.
WARNING
Isopropyl alcohol is flammable and toxic. To avoid
injury, keep away from open fire and use in a well
ventilated area.
ATPIAL Housing
Inspect the ATPIAL housing for any signs of damage
including cracks, missing parts, and any other visible
defects. Rinse thoroughly with water or mild soap and
water, then wipe clean with a soft cloth. If necessary, clean
around buttons, switches, adjusters, and attachment points
using fresh water and a cotton swab.
Battery Compartment / Cap
Inspect the battery compartment for dirt, dust, or corrosion.
Dirt or debris that cannot be shaken loose from the battery
compartment may be removed using a cotton swab. Clean
the threaded portions of the battery cap and battery
compartment using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl
alcohol. If necessary, clean battery contacts with a pencil
eraser or cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol.
Periodically lubricate the battery compartment o-ring with
fluorinated grease. Replace the o-ring if it becomes cut,
nicked, or dried out (see section 3.3, Replacing Battery
Compartment O-Ring).
