Priming the Pump
Prime the pump if the eluent has been changed, the eluent line contains air, or the
pump heads are dry (for example, after servicing).
NOTE If the eluent line is empty or if pump heads are
completely dry, you can use a 10 cc syringe (P/N 079803)
to prime the pump (see
1. Verify that the
ELUENT
and
REGEN
bottles are filled, the bottle caps are
installed and hand-tightened, and the liquid lines are connected to the bottles.
2. Verify that the waste lines are directed to a waste container.
3. Open the waste valve on the secondary (left) pump head by turning the knob
one-half turn counterclockwise (see
). (Opening the valve directs
the eluent flow path to waste and eliminates backpressure.)
