Removing transport locking screws

To avoid damage to the drives for the high-pressure pump and the vac-
uum pump during transport, the pumps are secured with transport locking
screws. These are located at the rear of the instrument and labeled with

Transport security screws

.

Remove these transport locking screws before the initial start-up.

Accessories

For this step you need:
