Start

. Ensure the safety cover is removed

2 Next

 moves the needle arm to the top level. Flap the safety wash port out of 

its origin position.

3 Next

 moves the needle slowly down and positions the needle approximately 

5 mm above the needle seat. 

4

In this maintenance position remove the needle assembly first. Then 
replace the needle seat assembly. After the exchanging of the needle seat 
reinstall the new needle assembly. See 

“Exchange the Needle Assembly”

on 

page 154 and 

“Exchange the Needle Seat Assembly”

on page 159.

5 Next

 positions the needle to the top level. Flap the safety wash port back in 

its origin position.

6

Reinstall the safety cover and complete the procedure.

WA R N I N G

For the needle exchange procedure, the needle arm moves slowly down while the 
safety cover is removed.

Risk of personal injury due to moving needle.

➔

Keep fingers off the moving needle.
