5.4 Priming the Tubing
Pressing the
PRIME key
causes the tubing to fill with fluid.
1.
To prime the tubing, press and hold down the
PRIME key
. As long as you hold
down the
PRIME key
, fluid flows in the tubing, and the display shows
“Priming...”.
2.
To stop priming a tube, simply release the
PRIME key
. The pump motor stops
running, and fluid stops flowing.
Extensive testing has shown that the minimum motor speed required to prime
the tubing varies significantly with the size of the tubing. These variances are
shown in Table 9-3 in Chapter 9. If the tubing will not prime regardless of motor
speed, simply press on the pump stator (refer to Figure 3-11) while the stator is
shut and the motor is running. Pressing on the stator enhances the priming
action of the pump. Release pressure after the tubing is primed.
