Connecting the Power Cable
1. Turn the power switch to OFF.
2. Connect the power cable to the power inlet on the
system (Figure 2-L).
3. Connect the power plug to a power outlet with a
grounding terminal (3P).
Installing the Mounting Medium Bottle
Tray
1. Place the mounting medium bottle tray (A) by aligning it
with the pins provided on the inner face of the bottom
plate of the mounting medium storage area (Figure 2-M).
2. Place the mounting medium bottle tray (B) by aligning
it with the pins provided on the outer face of the
bottom of the mounting medium storage area (Figure
2-N).
Installing the Dispensing Tray
1. Turn the power switch to OFF.
2. Open the cover.
3. Place the dispensing tray in the system.
4. Fill solvent in the anti-drying bottle until just below the
lid (Figure 2-O). The dispensing nozzle should sit
above the fluid level so the solvent vapors prevent the
mounting medium at the tip of the dispensing nozzle
from solidifying. Be careful
not to let the tip of the
dispensing nozzle contact the solvent.
CAUTION: Do not use toluene or any liquid containing
toluene. Instrument malfunction or failure may result.
Check the amount of solvent for mounting medium,
such as xylene, before use. Failure to do so may
cause the tip of the dispensing nozzle to stick,
resulting in incorrect coverslipping operation and
negative consequences on the tissues.
Fill solvent until this
line just below the lid.
Fill solvent un
til this line just
below the lid.
