10.3.3 Removing Hoses, Filters and Pump Heads
To later clean reagent hoses and pump heads, they must be re-
moved from the reagent bottles and from components of the cul-
ture vessel.
INFORMATION
To avoid damage, never dismantle the pump heads. Always re-
place a damaged pump head along with the pump hose, and
vice versa.
Proceed as follows:
Procedure
1.
Remove cable ties (e.g. with a side cutter) so that the hoses
are not damaged.
2.
Pull hoses off the culture vessel and the reagent bottles.
3.
Remove and dispose of filters for pressure equalisation and
hoses from reagent bottles.
4.
Ensure that the inlet air filter is clean, dry and not blocked. If
this is not the case, dispose of it.
INFORMATION
If the filter for pressure equalisation and the corresponding
hoses have been used several times, ensure that the filters are
always dry and clean.
