2.11 Priming the Pump
1. Verify that the eluent and regenerant reservoirs are filled, the reservoir caps
are installed and hand-tightened, and the gas and liquid lines are connected to
the reservoirs (see
2. Verify that the gas supply is turned on, the eluent reservoir is pressurized (see
), and the regenerant reservoir is unpressurized.
Note:
The
regenerant reservoir is unpressurized if the reservoirs are connected as
described in
.
3. Verify that the waste lines are directed to a waste container.
4. To start the liquid flow, open the pump head waste valve (see
turning the knob counterclockwise two turns. When the valve is open, eluent
flows directly from the pump to waste.

5. Let the liquid flow for at least 2 to 3 minutes to ensure that there are no
