Operating Manual
Emptying the Seal Wash System
1. Unscrew the cap of the seal wash reservoir.
2. Together with the cap, remove the seal wash line from the seal wash
reservoir.
3. Remove the peristaltic tubing from the seal wash pump. When the
tubing is removed, any liquid that may be present in the seal wash
line, flows off to waste.
6.10.3 Restart after Long-Term Shutdown
To restart the device after a long-term shutdown, follow these steps:
1. Engage the peristaltic tubing in the seal wash pump.
2. Reconnect the seal wash line and the solvent lines to the
appropriate reservoirs.
3. Retighten the reservoir cap hand-tight. Verify that the retaining
guide remains in the hole in the reservoir cap. If it does not, press
the retaining guide into the hole to ensure that the tubing is kept in
place in the cap.
4. Turn on the device. Observe the following:
Situation Action
