MAINTENANCE

Proper maintenance of your Leak Detector is very important. Carefully following
the instructions, outlined below, will reduce performance problems and increase
the life expectancy of the unit.
WARNING: TURN OFF UNIT BEFORE REPLACING THE SENSING TIP.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A MILD ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
• Keep the sensing tip clean: Prevent dust, moisture and grease build-up by
utilizing the provided tip protector. Never use the unit without the protector in
place.
Before using the unit always inspect the tip and protector to see that they are free
of dirt and/or grease. To clean:
1. Remove protector by grasping and pulling off tip.
2. Clean protector with shop towel and/or compressed air.
3. If the Tip itself is dirty it can be cleaned by unscrewing it and immersing in a
mild solvent, such as alcohol, for a few seconds, and then using compressed
air and/or a shop towel to clean.
NOTE: Never use solvents such as gasoline, turpentine, mineral spirits etc... as
these will leave a detectable residue and desensitize your unit.
• Sensing tip replacement: The tip will eventually wear out and
require replacement. It is difficult to predict exactly when this will
occur since tip longevity is directly related to the conditions and
frequency of use. The tip should be replaced whenever the beep
rate increases in frequency or becomes erratic, even in a clean
pure, air environment.
To replace the tip (Refer to the inset Figures on page 3.)
1. Make sure the unit is in the OFF position.
2. Remove the old tip by unscrewing in a counter-clockwise direction
3. Use the supplied replacement tip, located in the battery compartment, and
screw it on in a clockwise direction until finger tight.
• Batteries affect unit performance. When the selector switch is inthe ON posi-
tion the red power indicator light should be on. If the light does not come on,
then 2 new and/or tested size "C" Alkaline batteries should be installed. Batteries
must supply at least 2.2v (under load) to light power indicator and operate unit.
Always checkbattery voltage under load: Remove battery cover and turn unit on
Measure voltage across the batteries as indicated by arrows in the
following diagram.
