PRIMING THE PUMP DRIVE
It is recommended that you prime the pump drive before use. Priming the pump draws fluid through the
tubing and eliminates air pockets from the system.
CAUTION
: Keep fingers away from the rotor while the pump is in operation. Stop the pump before
loading or unloading tubing.
CAUTION
: Turn the drive off before removing or installing tubing. Fingers or loose clothing could
get caught in the drive mechanism.
Example Flow System
To prime the pump drive:
1. Insert the appropriate tubing into the pump head (for further information see "
3-3).
2. Insert the tube inlet into the supply fluid.
3. Insert the tube outlet into an appropriate container.
4. Switch the drive on using the power switch located at the rear of the drive.
5. Navigate to the Continuous, Time or Volume Mode screens.
6. Press and hold PRIME until no bubbles are visible in the tubing. Priming will stop when PRIME
is released.
