3.
Turn the four quarter-turn screws and lift the front panel out.
You might need to inspect the interior of the module to determine if the
pipettor was in the process of a fluid transfer when the power was
interrupted. The pipettor head should be at rest in the uppermost
“home” position. If not, there might be fluid in the tips that needs to be
removed. Instructions for these procedures are in the following topics.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the instrument, follow these instructions
and any instruction labels on the instrument exactly.
