After the tests have been completed the instrument should cleaned and checked as follows:

  1. Backflush the piercing assembly system with warm water. To do this, attach a hose to a water supply and then to the Teflon nipple of the Whitey valve. Open the Whitey valve and allow the water to flush through the system for several minutes.
  2. Rinse the entire instrument with warm water and dry with a soft towel.
  3. Check the dial thermometer for accuracy (re-calibration instructions are shipped with the instrument). Before installing the dial thermometer, apply a small amount of "O" ring lubricant to the stem and work the thermometer up and down to lubricate the internal "O" ring.
  4. Check the pressure gauge for accuracy (re-calibration instructions are shipped with the instrument). Be sure to install gauge gasket in the gauge adapter before the pressure gauge in installed on the instrument.

Note: All replacement parts for the 6000 series are the same as used on the Zahm New Style Air Tester 5000 Series except for parts #6003 through #6018 as listed on the parts list.
