Hydraulic Connections
Make sure that all hydraulic connections are suitable to the system
pressure and flow rate of your HPLC system.
You can connect either a single solvent line or a low pressure mixing
block to your instrument.
Single Connection
Solvent tubing is connected to the pump head according to part B of Fig.
20. Make sure that the flat side of the ferrule is directed towards the
pump head. Make sure that the fitting screw is fastened finger-tight.
The bushing inlet (item {3.3} in Fig. 4 on page 8) is to be connected to the
solvent reservoir. For this purpose, follow SOP 20 and compare part B of
Fig. 20.

Connection of eluent tubings
1. Insert the teflon tube into the fitting screw and attach the ferrule.
Make sure that the ferrule is in the correct orientation - the flat side
facing the tube end, towards the pump head.
2. Push the tube end as far as it will go into the pump head inlet.
3. Tighten the ferrule with the fitting screw by hand.
