Installing the Peristaltic Pump Tube
The peristaltic pump tube does not come pre-installed in the ProSample. There are two peristaltic tubes included with
each ProSample — one can be found under the lid of the ProSample, while the other is in the top tray of the ProSample
packaging. To install the peristaltic pump tube:
1.
Turn the ProSample OFF and disconnect the battery.
WARNING:
Do NOT attempt to install a peristaltic pump tube or service the pump while the ProSample is ON.
The moving components of the pump can cause serious injury.
2.
Use a flathead screw driver to loosen the bolt on the outside of the peristaltic pump cover.
3.
There are two tube connectors the peristaltic pump tube will connect to — one connector is on the intermediate
tube while the other is on the composite sampling tube. Slide the connectors out of the side of the pump
housing.
4.
Connect the peristaltic pump tube to each tube connector and slide the connectors back into the side of the
pump housing.
5.
Place the peristaltic pump tube on the outside of the rollers of the peristaltic pump. You may need to turn the
roller assembly in order to get the pump tube to properly seat in the pump housing. Refer to the image below.
6.
Close the battery cover to the peristaltic pump and tighten the bolt using a flathead screwdriver. Reconnect the
battery.
