6.5.1 Injection Valve Rotor
Replacement
The following instructions are for the removal and replacement
of the injection valve rotor. (PN: 209009917).
ACCQPrep systems with a serial number starting with 218H or
higher may have spare rotors included with the system. For
these units, access the pump compartment by gripping the edges
of the front panel and pulling forward on both sides (Figure 6-8).
Inside the front cover an envelope contains spare rotors, a hex
key needed for removal and a copy of the replacement instruc-
tions.
Note
The injection valve rotor is a common wear part and is there-
fore not covered under warranty. Since it is a sealing surface it
can be damaged by particulates in the sample. To prolong the
life of the rotor, ensure your sample is properly filtered (<20
µm) to prevent premature failure. Failure is evident by leakage
from an unexpected port or location such as the sample load
port after injection.
Removing the Injection
Valve Rotor 1. Use the supplied
9
/
64
” hex key to remove the 2 screws that
retain the stator (the portion of the inject valve with the
tubing connections). These should be loosened in quarter
turn increments until the tension is removed and a gap
starts to appear (Figure 6-5).
