Safety Information
Observe the precautions listed in this section to ensure the safe operation and longevity of the
instrument.
CAUTION
When you use the pump, follow the generally accepted procedures for quality
control and method development. If you use the pump in the field of chromatographic
analysis and you observe a change in retention time of a particular compound, in the
resolution between two compounds, or in peak shape, immediately determine the reason
for the changes. Until you determine the cause of the change, do not rely on separation
results.
CAUTION
Use equipment only in the manner specified by its manufacturer, or risk
impairing the protection provided by the equipment.
CAUTION
Do not service any part when operating the instrument. Do not remove the
front panel when the instrument is running. Do not run the instrument without the front
panel.
