17. Priming the Pump
1. Verify that the eluent reservoir is filled, the reservoir cap is installed and
handtightened, and the liquid line from the IC system to the reservoir cap is
connected (see
Section 15 ).
2. Verify that the waste lines are directed to a waste container.
3. The priming procedure consists of two parts:
•
Priming the eluent lines with a syringe (see Section 17.1 ). Perform this
procedure at initial installation, after changing eluents, or when eluent
lines are empty.
•
Priming the pump heads with the
Prime
button (see Section 17.2 ).
Perform this procedure after the eluent lines are primed.
17.1 Priming the Eluent Lines with a Syringe
NOTE Prime the eluent lines after initial installation, after
changing eluents, or when eluent lines are empty.
1. Verify that the pump is turned off.
2. Connect a 10 mL syringe (P/N 054578) to the priming valve port on
the primary pump head (see Figure 33 ).
