Installing Sample Transfer Tubing
1. Make sure that the arm is in the Load (uppermost) position. When the arm is in the Load
position, the Load LED is illuminated. If the LED is not illuminated, press the ARM
AUTO/LOAD switch.
2. Several segments of flexible tubing are supplied with the MasterTech. Press the end of one
segment of flexible tubing over the sample transfer tube until there is at least 1/2-in. (1.27
cm) overlap.
3. Unlatch the pump housing and unscrew the plastic knob on the rear of the pump. Thread
the tubing through the pump as shown in the figure above and attach it to the rigid tubing
labeled L (left) or R (right). Choose the rigid tubing labeled with the side of the
MasterTech from which you want the fluid to be discharged. Close and latch the housing.
Tighten the plastic knob on the rear of the pump sufficiently to prevent tubing slippage but
not enough to restrict flow through the tubing.
4. Open the pump module cover on the SediGraph by pulling it forward.
5. Drain the system.
6. Cut the flexible tubing labeled F midway between the mixing pump and the rigid tubing
connector on the SediGraph; remove and discard the segment remaining on the rigid
tubing connector.
7. Remove a segment of flexible tubing from the accessories kit and cut a length of
approximately 1 1/2 inches (3.81 cm) of tubing.
