2. Tighten the connection by the knurl.
TIP Note the slot in the knurl. For narrow connections, you can easily
remove the knurls from neighboring capillaries through this slot and
attach them again later.
3. Check whether the connection leaks. If leakage exists, follow the
steps further down.

2. Tighten the connection a little more.
3. If leakage continues, remove the capillary.
4. Clean the capillary ends carefully by using a lint-free tissue wetted
with isopropanol.

5.6.4 Guiding Liquids to Waste
Waste liquids from the needle wash system and the drain pump in the
device are routed through separate drain ports directly into the drain
system.
Leaking liquids of the device are collected in the leak tray and flow off
through the funnel at the bottom right of the leak tray into the drain
system.
A waste line is connected to the fraction collector Y-connector, then
route the waste line through the tubing guides of the system modules to
the Vanquish system base. On the system base, route the waste line
through the dedicated waste outlet and connect the waste line to the
waste container as described in the
Vanquish System Operating Manual.
