5 Operating instructions
CAUTION:
After connecting fluids, the initialization command will result in
fluid movement. Make sure the pump is properly plumbed and there are no
leaks. Otherwise this fluid movement can result in spills.
Always run liquid through the syringe and valve when issuing a move
command. Failure to do so will eventually wear out the valve and
syringe seal.
