7.4 Replace pump pistons
Introduction

Always replace the O-rings, piston seals, and rinse membranes of both pump
heads of a pump at the same time.

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-
ing to replace a spare part.

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.
