Moisten the inside of the plunger seal with methanol to make
mounting easier.
Note: Remember the following when mounting the pump head
onto the head mount flange.
(1) Press the head straight into the head mount flange
and do not move it up/down or left/right.
(2) Take care not to jam or sandwich the tubing (1)
(See Fig. 5.2).
See Fig. 5.11
Tighten the bolts evenly to maintain an even gap between the
head mount flange and the pump head. If the head is tightened
unevenly, loosen the bolts, pull the pump head away from the
head mount flange, and then retighten the bolts properly.
See Fig. 5.3
Attach the solvent selection valve by reversing the procedure
described in Section 5.1.2.
