ZIPPETTE CLASSIC
Disassembly Options/Cleaning
WARNING Do not use force in assembly or disassembly.
Disassembly should only be undertaken after the unit has been cleaned
using the recommended cleaning procedure. Wear protective clothing and
goggles during disassembly.
1. Move the cursor (6) down the scale and undo the dispense sleeve cap (1)
by turning anti-clockwise and lifting.
2. The piston holder (2) is now exposed and the piston (4) is ready for
removal. Remove the piston assembly carefully.
3. Clean the piston's surface with a suitable cleaning solution. Do not
use hard tools to scrape off residue of reagent from the piston as this
will damage the surface and will not seal with the glass barrel when
reassembled.
4. If it is necessary to clean or replace the graduated outer dispense
sleeve (5) of your Zippette Classic, this is carried out with the help of the
supplied assembly tool (17).
a. Loosen the polypropylene threaded ring (9) on the base by
approximately one turn.
b. Using the assembly tool (17), undo the top stop ring (3) by turning
clockwise and lifting it out. You can now lift off the dispense sleeve (5).
c. To remove the polypropylene protection sleeve (11) and borosilicate
glass barrel (10), fully undo the threaded ring (9), remove the
polypropylene protection sleeve (11) and gently lift out the glass barrel
(10) for replacement or cleaning.
Note: Bevelled inside edge of barrel must be at the top
end when fitted.
d. Removal of FEP dispense tube (14); Firstly turn the anti-drip tap to the
closed position. Then remove dispense tube protection cover (15) in an
upward direction allowing dispense tube (14) to be pulled out of anti-
drip shut-off valve assembly in direction indicated on page 7.
e. Reassemble in reverse, make sure the front end of the dispense tube is
clipped into the dispense tube protection cover (15) from the underside.
f. Reassemble the remaining components following the above points in
reverse order, making sure that the FEP 'O' ring (12) is well located into
its platform recess. Take special care not to damage the piston when
inserting it into the glass barrel.
g. Before tightening the threaded ring (9) fully onto the threaded
platform base (13), rotate the polypropylene protection sleeve (11)
so that the tooth on its base locates properly into the notch on the
threaded ring (9).
