MAINTENANCE

Routine maintenance will help keep your pipette
in good condition, ensuring a continued high
level of performance. Maintenance is limited to
cleaning or autoclaving the parts specified under
Cleaning and Decontamination on page 18 or MAINTENANCE
to replacing the push button, connecting nut, tip
ejector, tip holder, seal and O-ring.
PIPETMAN P2 and P10 should
not be disassembled, so you
may only replace the push
button, tip ejector, dual position
tip ejector and its adapter.
With these pipettes if the tip
holder is damaged, the piston
NOTICE may also be damaged. After
replacing any parts you should
verify the performance of your
pipette following the verification
procedure available on the Gilson
website (www.gilson.com). If the
pipette needs to be readjusted,
please contact your local Gilson
authorized Service Center.
Changing the Tip Ejector
1. To remove the tip ejector, keep the tip
ejector button depressed and pull down on
the flanged upper part of the tip ejector with
the other hand.
2. To refit the tip ejector, keep the tip ejector
button depressed, slide the end of the tip
ejector over the end of the tip holder and
push the plastic end of the tip ejector back
into the body of the pipette until it is gripped
firmly by the metal tip ejector rod.
