Cleaning ESDCasters
Casters on the ESD platform are critical components because they provide the discharge path
to ground. ESD require regular, periodic cleaning to preserve ESD protection capability.
You must also maintain the LD-250's operating surface to provide a conductive path to
ground. See: Environment and Floor on page 115.
You need the following tools and resources:
l
Gloves.
l
Vacuum cleaner or compressed air to remove dry dust.
l
Wire hook, tweezers, and sharp blade to remove any fibrous material wound around
the caster's hub
l
Disposable lint-free wipes.
