1. Single Pump Head Loading
Note: Use only MASTERFLEX Precision Tubing with MASTERFLEX
Pumps to insure optimum performance. Use of other tubing may void
applicable warranties.
Contents: One pump head, one 15 in (38 cm) length of silicone tubing,
one mounting hardware package, manual and tubing loading key.
Supplied tubing loading key required for assembly.
a) Separate the end bells (the pump head halves). Hold the end bell
containing the rotor as shown with the tubing retainer grooves
facing down.
b) Place tubing in the right groove and against the first two rollers.
Hold tubing with thumb. Near groove, insert smaller prong of
loading key between the top of the rotor and tubing. Push key in
as far as possible.
c) Push down and turn key counterclockwise (ccw) completely
around the rotor. The key will push the tubing uniformly into the
end bell assembly. Hold the second end of tubing. Remove key.
d) Position the other end bell on top and press the end bells together.
Be careful not to pinch the tubing. If end bells do not snap tightly
together, reload tubing. If necessary, turn key in slot on rotor shaft
to adjust tubing (as in Step e).
e) With key in slot on rotor shaft, turn key to align tang on rotor
shaft with slot in motor drive shaft. Point tubing retainer grooves
up. Shift the pump head slightly till it snaps on the alignment pins
(if present). Secure with four provided screws. Tighten with
fingers only.
