WARNING 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.
1 Connect the pump outlet capillary to port 1 of the injection valve.
2 Connect column-compartment inlet capillary to port 6 of the injection
valve.
3 Connect the corrugated waste tube to the solvent waste from the leak plane.
4 Ensure that the waste tube is positioned inside the leak channel.
NOTE Do not extend the waste capillary of the autosampler. The siphoning effect
might empty the complete seat capillary introducing air into the system.
