1100 Series Nano Pump Service Manual 105
Repairing the Pump 3
Introduction
Simple Replacements
The nano pump is designed for easy repair. The most frequent repairs such as 
plunger seal change and filter frit change can be done with the nano pump in 
place in the system stack. These repairs are described in “Simple Repair 
Procedures” on page 108.
Exchanging Internal Parts
Some repairs may require exchange of defective internal parts. Exchange of 
these parts requires removing the nano pump from the stack, removing the 
covers, and disassembling the nano pump. The security lever at the power 
input socket prevents that the pump cover is taken off when line power is still 
connected.
When opening capillary or tube fittings solvents may leak out. Please observe 
appropriate safety procedures (for example, goggles, safety gloves and protective 
clothing) as described in the material handling and safety data sheet supplied by the 
solvent vendor, especially when toxic or hazardous solvents are used.
To prevent personal injury, the power cable must be removed from the nano pump 
before opening the cover. Do not connect the power cable to the nano pump while 
the covers are removed.
Electronic boards and components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). In 
order to prevent damage always use an ESD protection (for example, the ESD wrist 
strap from the accessory kit) when handling electronic boards and components.
