Maintenance

Exterior Inspection. Examine the outside of the generator for damage, wear, and missing parts, using Table 6±2 as a guide. Waveform generators that appear to have been dropped or otherwise mishandled should be checked thoroughly to verify correct operation and performance. Immediately repair defects that could cause personal injury or cause further generator damage.

Exterior Cleaning Procedure. Do the following steps to clean the waveform generator exterior:

1.Remove loose dust on the outside of the generator with a lint free cloth.

2.Remove remaining dirt with a lint free cloth dampened with a general pur- pose detergent-and-water solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

3.Clean the light filter protecting the monitor screen with a lint-free cloth dampened with either ethyl alcohol or preferably, a mild, general purpose detergent-and-water solution.
