from the vent opening when you turn over the cartridge.
3. Turn the cartridge upside down and place it on the EG drip tray in the
service position (see Figure 9-17 ).
4. Remove the plugs from the
INLET
and
OUTLET
fittings on the eluent
generation chamber.
5. Connect the
EGC IN
line from the pump to the EGC
INLET
port.
6. Locate the yellow 0.5 mL/min, 7 MPa (1000 psi) backpressure coil
(P/N 053765) in the EG Ship Kit (P/N 072047).
7. Connect one end of the
backpressure coil to the EGC
OUTLET
port (see Figure 9-23 );
leave the other end of the coil
unconnected. This is a
temporary connection.
