CARE & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Luxeo 6z
2. Cleaning the lenses :
To clean the lens surfaces, remove dust using a soft brush or gauze (compressed air dust cans
are ideal). For removing finger marks or grease, soft cotton cloth/ lens tissue or gauze lightly
moistened with cleaning solution (85% petroleum ether and 15% isopropanol) should be used.
For cleaning the optics, use xylene. Observe sufficient caution in handling xylene.
Cleaning procedure:
Place the eyepieces on a dust-free surface (e.g. fresh aluminum foil).AII other optical components
to be cleaned should be as accessible as possible.
a. Blow all loose dust particles away with a dust blower.
b. Remove all water-soluble dirt with distilled water. If this is unsuccessful repeat using a
solution of diluted hand soap liquid. Remove any remaining residue with a dry cotton swab.
c. To remove oil, use a solution of diluted hand-soap liquid initially. If this does not produce a
satisfactory result, repeat the cleaning using a solvent (Optical Cleaning Solution 85%
petroleum ether and 15%isopropanol).
d. Grease must always be removed using a solvent.
e. Cleaning is achieved by using a spiral motion from the center to the rim. Never wipe using
zig-zag movements as this will only spread the dirt. With larger optical surfaces (e.g. tube
lenses) the spiral motion starts initially at the rim before moving to the middle and is only then
followed by a center to rim cleaning motion. Normally several spiral wipes are recommended.
We recommend pure, volatile petroleum ether or Optical Cleaning Solution as explained in
point 3 above.

3. Cleaning of painted surfaces:
Avoid the use of any organic solvent ( e.g. thinner, xylene, ether, alcohol etc.) for cleaning of
painted surfaces of the instrument. Painted surfaces can be cleaned with a very lightly moistened
micro fiber
