Operating Instructions Page 5

If a leak occurs, turn off the pump and remedy the situation immediately.

Disconnect the pump from all power sources before removing the panels. When the
panels are removed, dangerous electrical connections will be exposed. The enclosure
should be opened only by authorized service personnel.

Always replace blown fuses with original spare part fuses from Dionex (

page 191).

Replace faulty power cords and communication cables.

Many organic solvents and buffers are toxic. Know the toxicological properties of all
mobile phases that you are using.

The toxicological properties of many samples may not be well known. If you have any
doubt about a sample, treat it as if it contains a potentially harmful substance.

Wear goggles when handling mobile phases or operating the pump. An eyewash facility
and a sink should be close to the unit. If any mobile phase splashes on the eyes or skin,
wash the affected area and seek medical attention.

Dispose of waste mobile phase in an environmentally safe manner that is consistent with
all local regulations. Do not allow flammable or toxic solvents to accumulate. Follow a
regulated, approved waste disposal program. Never dispose of flammable or toxic
solvents through the municipal sewage system.

Use only standard solvents (HPLC grade) and buffers that are compatible with all parts
that may be exposed to solvents.

In an UltiMate 3000 system, some components are made of PEEK™. While this polymer
has superb chemical resistance to most organic solvents, it tends to swell when in contact
with trichlormethane (CHCl
3
), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), or tetrahydrofuran (THF). In
addition, it is attacked by concentrated acids, such as, sulfuric acid and nitric acid or a
mixture of hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. (Swelling or attack by concentrated acids
is not a problem with brief flushing procedures.)

Do not use PEEK tubing that is stressed, bent, or kinked.

Avoid looking directly into the pump light LED and do not use light focusing instruments
for viewing the light beam. The high luminosity of the lamp can be harmful to the eyes.

Before interrupting operation for several days or more or when preparing the pump for
transport, observe the precautions for shutting down the pump (

page 97).

Use original Dionex spare parts only. Substituting non-Dionex parts or using non-Dionex
accessories may impair the performance of the instrument.

Do not use the pump in ways other than those described in these operating instructions .
