Maintaining Your Analyzer
10-6
You should perform the “Rinse prime” procedure to prime the rinse tubing when
there are bubbles in the tubing; or
the rinse in the tubing is contaminated; or
you have installed a new container of rinse without shutting the analyzer.
At the “Maintenance” screen, SELECT “Rinse prime” to prime the tubing and the priming
progress will be displayed at the bottom of the screen, as Figure 10-4 shows. When the
priming is done, the screen will return to the initial state.
