TIP To avoid the formation of gas bubbles in the solvent reservoirs, place
the reservoirs in the system stack on the same level or higher than the
pump. The setup description below assumes that the reservoirs are
placed in the solvent rack.
Routing the Solvent Lines to the Solvent Rack
1. Connect each solvent line to the pump inlet port for which it is
intended (see the labeling on the solvent lines and in the pump).
2. Route the solvent lines from the pump inlet to the solvent rack,
through the tubing guides in the pump and all modules above the
pump in the system stack. Observe the routing guidelines in
Guiding
Capillaries and Tubing Through the System (

page 57) .
3. Route the solvent lines through the guide hole in the solvent rack
and fix them in the appropriate tubing guides in the solvent rack.
