8.2.2 Maintenance instructions

Only authorized and qualified service personnel may access the internal components of the instrument for service and repair!

The instrument is basically maintenance-free.

To ensure trouble-free operation of the instrument over a long period of time, the following is recommended by Leica:

1. Thoroughly clean the instrument on a daily basis.

2. Enter into a service contract at the latest at the end of the warranty period. For more in- formation, please contact your local Leica technical service center.

We recommend the following inspection intervals depending on the general workload of the instrument as defined in the three categories listed in the table:

Number of sections per day: Workload (hours per day): Sectioning speed:

Specimen material:

Maintenance:

Category I

>8.000 sections per day

>5 hours per day

Predominantly high sectioning speed

Working with soft and hard specimens

Every 12 months

Category II

<8.000 sections per day

<5 hours per day

Slow to medium sectioning speed

Predominantly soft specimen material

Every 24 months

Note for inspection

• When the instrument reaches approx. 2 million performed strokes, the code SEr always appears for approx. 3 seconds in the three-digit

display when the TRIM/SECT button is pressed (switching between trimming and sectioning mode).

This is a reminder that the instrument must be inspected by an authorized Leica service technician, regardless of how heavily the instrument has been used.
