A sign of internal leakage is that the pump rinsing solution volume starts to
increase.

NOTICE
•
Do not disassemble the pump head unless there is good reason
to believe that there is an internal leakage. A sign of leakage
is increasing pump rinsing solution volume. Always make sure
that sufficient spare components are available before attempt-

Replacing spare parts. Read the instructions carefully. For
example, some individual parts of the pump head can be as-
sembled incorrectly. Check the orientation of each part before
continuing with the next instruction.
