Connecting the Flush Solvent Reservoir
1. Connect the flush solvent reservoir to the line:
a) Rinse the flush solvent reservoir thoroughly with a high-purity
solvent.
b) Fill the flush solvent reservoir with fresh flush solvent.
c) Feed the flush solvent tubing through the 1/16’’ retaining guide
and through an open hole in the cap of the flush solvent
reservoir. The retaining guide keeps the tubing in place in the
reservoir. Close any open holes in the reservoir cap with cap
plugs.
