TANDEM™ Pump Tube Installation:
1. Open the TANDEM pump head by moving the black loading lever 180 to the left. If you
are going to use the upper pump channel, slip the tubing into the upper channel; that is over
the pump roller cage. If the lower channel is used, feed the tubing through the lower
channel, that is under the pump roller cage. Do not loop a single piece of tubing through
both the top and lower channel of the pump head.
WARNING: Do NOT mount or dismount the pump tubing while the VitaPump is running.
2. Lock the tubing in place by pushing the loading lever 180 to the right. The tube retainer
spring will automatically place the correct tension on the pump tubing to prevent tube
“walking”.
3. With the TANDEM pump head closed, lightly pull the two ends of the tubing in opposite
directions and away from the pump head. This pulling action insures that the pump tubing is
taut and within the pump channel.
TANDEM™ Pump Tube Replacement:
The pump tubing section located in the TANDEM pump head should be advanced at regular time
intervals, if the VitaPump is heavily used. Only use high-quality, correctly sized pump tubing.
WARNING: When advancing pump tubing, the used pump tube section must be moved to
the pump discharge side, i.e. dispensing side. The used pump tube section is weakened
and tends to collapse when placed on the suction side of TANDEM pump head.
TANDEM™: Pump Tubing / Chemical Compatibility
Selecting the right pump tube material is crucial to ensure high pump performance. Consider all
aspects of your application when choosing your pump tube material: 1. chemical compatibility of
the fluid and tubing, 2. operating temperature and pressure, as well as 3. cleaning / sterilization
requirements.
