Slide the case up until the syringe glass enters the bottom of the pipette.

Syringe insertion.
4
Let the case drop and gently push the syringe up through the filling hole and into
the pipette. It will come to a stop with about 4 mm of syringe glass exposed below
the metal.
5
Carefully push up on the glass while spinning the metal syringe holder slowly. Once
the notch in the syringe aligns with the notch in the holder, the syringe will slide up
approximately another 2 mm. Be very careful, as if the syringe is not all the way up,
the needle will catch on the edge of the storage case, likely bending the needle and
making it unusable.
6
Move the pipette to the cleaning hole and turn the inner metal syringe holder to the
left several turns, so that the bottom nut is engaged but not fully tightened.
7
Move the pipette to the loading hole, and insert the fill port adapter. Make sure that
it screws in easily; if it does not, loosen the bottom nut until it does.
8
With the adapter in place, tighten the nut. This ensures that the syringe is lined up
properly within the pipette.
9
Disconnect the adapter.

If clogging of the syringe is suspected, first refer to the on screen software section for
syringe cleaning to visually see the process.
