PRIMING THE PUMP DRIVE
It is recommended that you prime the pump drive before use. Priming the pump draws uid through the
tubing and eliminates air pockets from the system.
CAUTION: Turn the drive o before removing or installing tubing. Fingers or loose clothing
could get caught in the drive mechanism.
Example Flow System
To prime the pump drive:
1. Insert the tubing into the pump head (for further information see "
Loading Tubing" on page 2-10).
2. Insert the tube inlet into the supply uid.
3. Insert the tube outlet into an appropriate container.
4. Switch the drive on using the power switch located at the rear of the drive. NOTE: If User Management
is enabled you may be prompted for a username and password (For further information see "
User
Management
" on page 2-8).
5. Navigate to the Continuous, Time or Volume Mode screens.
6. Press and hold PRIME
until there are no bubbles visible in the tubing. Priming will stop when
PRIME
is released.
• It is recommended that you calibrate new tubes to ensure accurate ow rate and uid dispensing
(for further information see "
Tube Calibration" on page 2-13).
• When using new tubing it is possible that the pump will not prime and/or will not dispense uid
(depending on the type of tubing used). If this occurs, it is recommended that you wet the tubing
and then run the pump with the tubing for approximately 20-30 minutes.
