Preventative Measures
- Purchase a screen protector.
- Avoid leaving your device’s screen exposed to direct sunlight.
- When mounting in a vehicle, make sure machine is firmly and securely mounted. We recommending using the official Triton mounting kit. If mounting on your own, DO NOT use longer screws through rear foot mounts of machine. Longer screws there risk damaging internal components, which will be considered physical damage and will not be covered under warranty.
- DO NOT use compressed air to remove shavings or clean machine. Compressed air may blow shavings inside the machine, where they could end up shorting out internal components. Vacuum use is ok.
- Regularly clean machine and accessories of shavings. Brush off any shavings buildup around the probe and cutter head especially. Also empty the shavings tray regularly.
- Do not use during thunderstorms without surge protection. Also if connected to an inverter, make sure the inverter is grounded properly and all grounding points are in good condition. Inverter recommendations: 10 amp fuse, min. 1000w pure sine wave inverter.
- Avoid any temptations of self-repairing to prevent further damages (if any).
- Avoid storing your device in extreme conditions (extreme heat/cold).
- Only download software from official and trusted sites.
- Calibrate machine after every update or ideally once a week.
- Do not forcefully lift/press on screen.
- Keep your device away from any area/objects where liquid spillage may occur.
