WARNING
The Autosampler is a heavy instrument with a basic weight of
approximately 30 kg.
Two people are required for safe handling.
Consult the local codes of practice issued by safety advisors before
attempting to lift it.
Take care not to injure yourself or others, or to drop the instruments.
1. Position the Liquid Autosampler on the bench as shown below (Figure 15).
Leave a gap of 0.5–1 cm between the Autosampler and the spectrometer. Ensure that
you have space for the PC either to the right side of the spectrometer, or to the left side
of the Autosampler.

The spectrometer protrudes approximately 5 cm in front of the Autosampler when
correctly aligned.
Make sure that there is access to power and a waste container.
3. Place the PC in a suitable location.
4. Remove the Velcro straps and plastic cable ties around the Z-rack.
5. Remove any additional packaging and support from the Autosampler and make sure
that the arm is able to move freely on all axes.
