Inspect 100ul and 1000ul syringes for leaks, replace if necessary.
Inspect/Replace inlet filter.
Inspect the prime holder strips, replace as necessary.
Hardware
Inspect the probe. Clean and apply Deoxit to ensure a good LLD signal from
the probe to the level sense PCB.
Check all the timing belts, for fraying and cracking, replace as necessary.
Clean all surfaces, do not wipe lubricant off the linear ways.
Inspect and clean scanner mirrors.
Inspect all racks and trays for damage.
