Useful Suggestions
Loading and Unloading the Rack:
Always use two hands (one on each handle) to load/unload the rack onto the rack mount pins.
Ensure the rack is fully engaged with all three rack mount pins before starting a run.
Loading and Unloading the Sample Cartridges:
Insert the cartridges straight down into their respective cartridge slots to load. Remove by
pulling straight up out of the cartridge slot. Do not manually manipulate the spring clips while
doing this as aggressive manipulation of the spring clip may damage it. The spring clip will be
moved aside without additional manipulation as you push or pull the cartridge in and out of the
slot.
Always use two hands to load/unload the cartridges into the rack. One hand should hold on to
the rack while loading/unloading the cartridges.
Confirm that the cartridges are completely set in the recessed area of the cartridge slot to
ensure that the rack clips are fully engaged.
