Operation Guide
Syringes
18
Caution Do not operate the injector without a syringe in place because the syringe latch
may interfere with the motor if it is allowed to swing freely.
10. Pull down the syringe carriage until the needle tip is near the top of the inlet
septum nut.
The needle should be centered exactly over the hole in the septum retainer
nut. Make sure the needle will hit the septum without rubbing on the nut.
11. If the needle is not centered over the septum retainer nut, check that the
syringe is installed correctly in the syringe carrier, the syringe needle is
straight, and the needle support assembly is properly installed.
Removing A Syringe
1. Disconnect the injector cable from the GC and lay the injector on its back
on a flat surface.
2. Loosen the plunger screw and raise the plunger carrier loop off the syringe.
3. Open the syringe latch.
Caution Be careful not to bend the syringe needle. Only pull the syringe out of the carriage
until clear. The needle bends easily when still seated in the needle support.
4. Carefully lift the syringe flange out of the flange guide until clear, then lift
the syringe needle out of the needle support.
