Preparing the Waters TQ Detector for Operation

Installing the reservoir bottles

Required materials

Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves

To install the reservoir bottles:

1.

Remove the reservoir bottle caps.

2.

Screw the reservoir bottles onto the TQ Detector as shown below.

Warning: 

The reservoir bottles can be contaminated with 

biohazardous and/or toxic materials. Always wear 
chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves while performing this 
procedure.
