Priming the Eluent Line with a Syringe (Optional)
A syringe can be used to facilitate priming when the eluent line is empty or the
pump heads are completely dry.
1. Verify that the pump is turned off.
2. Disconnect the waste line from the luer fitting on the secondary (left) pump
head and connect a 10 mL syringe (P/N 054578) to the luer fitting (see
Figure 3-6
).
3. Open the waste valve by turning it one-half turn counterclockwise.
4. Draw the syringe back to begin removing air from the flow path.
NOTE When the line already contains liquid, the syringe will be
difficult to draw back. In this case, prime with the prime
command only (see Section 3.6
).
5. When a small amount of liquid enters the syringe, remove the syringe from
the luer fitting, and reconnect the waste line to the luer fitting.
6. Follow the instructions in Section 3.6
to finish priming.
