8.1 Dismantling the dispense head
WARNING
Hazard from chemicals!
Chemicals can cause irritation and chemical burns.
• Observe the proper Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) when handling
hazardous substances.
• Observe the safety data sheets (SDS) of the chemicals used.
• Wear the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) (suitable protective
clothing, protective gloves, respirators and safety goggles / face shield).
1. Make sure that there is no negative pressure in the suction line.
»
Negative pressure in the suction line will cause air to flow in and chemical
residue to be blown out of the dispense head or the line to be filled with air.
2. Slowly unscrew the dispense head via the tightening nut.
»
If the container is under any pressure or vacuum when opened, it is drained
via the ventilation hole in the dip tube. You may hear a hissing sound. In
this case, do not continue unscrewing the dispense head, wait until no more
hissing can be heard and then finish unscrewing.
3. Pull the dispense head out of the dip tube until the dispense head is above the
dip tube opening.
4. Wait a few seconds so that condensate, for example, can still drip into the
container.
5. Rinse and clean the dispense head with ultra pure water.
6. Insert the dispense head, if present, into the docking station on the system side.
7. Screw the dispense head in tight into the docking station.
