Checking pumps for leaks 

A decrease in liquid flow or the presence of air bubbles in the lines may be due to a 
leaking pump. Inspect the pumps for leaks daily to identify potential problems.  

Materials required: 

•   Lint-free towel 

Time: 10 minutes 
Analyzer mode: READY 

BIOHAZARD 

Wear personal protective equipment.
Use universal precautions.

Checking the SP and DIP vertical pumps for leaks 

Liquid leaking from the seal on the sampling pump (SP) or the dilution aspiration pump 
(DIP) flows to the drive lever unit. If the drive lever unit is wet, the pump seal must be 
replaced. 

1.

 

Closely inspect the plastic cylinder (

1

) for moisture.

To replace the pump seal if the drive lever unit is wet, call your local technical 
support provider or distributor.
