Tube re-tensioning
When using Marprene tubing: After the first 30 minutes of running, re-tension the tube in the pumphead
by releasing the sprung track pin and pulling the tubing on the delivery side a little. Thisisto counteractthe
normalstretching thatoccurswith Marprene which can go unnoticed and resultin poor tube life.
