Clamp each of the pump hoses into the pump between two stoppers.
NOTICE! Note the pump flow direction! The pump rotates in a counter-
clockwise direction!
}
Place the clamping brackets over the hoses. Make sure the pump hoses
are in the grooves of the clamping brackets. Fasten the clamping brackets
via the clamping levers; the clamping levers must engage audibly.
}
Connect the sample pump hose to the hose of the sampler (for automatic
operation) or to a hose leading directly into the sample (manual opera-
tion).
}
Connect the waste hose on the waste pump hose to the waste container.
NOTICE! The waste hose must not dip into the liquid! This prevents
waste material from being pumped into the nebulizer system in case of
faulty pump hose connection.
Notes on the pump hoses
Different materials can be selected for the pump hoses depending on the sample. The
inner diameter of the waste hose is one and a half times the size of that of the sample
pump hose. This ensures that sample solution separated from the aerosol is transported
away quickly and the spray chamber does not fill up.

Set the contact pressure on the pump hose as follows:
}
Loosen the screw of the contact pressure level so that no liquid is transported.
}
Slowly tighten the screw until liquid begins to flow along the hose.
}
Tighten the screw by a further half-turn.
If the pump is out of operation, release the clamping bracket. This extends the service
lives of the pump hoses.
