Service and Maintenance
Salt deposits and reagent residue may clog the flow system if they are not removed
prior to a prolonged period of inactivity or shipment. In addition, the tubing should
be removed from behind the Peristaltic Pump and from all of the Normally Closed
Valves. Leaving this tubing in the pump and in the valves while the instrument is
inactive may cause it to crimp permanently. The Peristaltic Pump and Normally
Closed Valves on the Analyzer flow panel are shown in Figure 9.4.
NOTE:
When starting the system after 2 weeks or more of inactivity, it is
necessary to replace the Diluent/Sheath filter before priming the system.
