3. Grasp the 1/8 in. capillary tube with a pair of needle-
nose pliers. Lever the pliers against the pump block to
pull the capillary from the brass barbed fitting in the
pump.
NOTICE! Don't use a razor blade to cut the capillary
along its axis to remove it from the barb fitting.
Doing so can damage the barbed fitting and result
in system performance issues. Also, don't grab onto
the barbed fitting itself with the pliers — make
sure you're pulling on the tubing.
4. In the pump, verify that there's no remnants of the 1/8
in. capillary tube on the brass barbed fitting.
Figure 4-185: Brass barbed fitting in the pump.
5. Remove the push-in fitting from the 3/8 in. tube, and set
it aside.
6. To reconnect the tubing to the pump (done later in this
procedure), you'll need about 1 in. of the 1/8 in. capillary
tube exposed from the 3/8 in. tube. If you need to
expose the capillary tube, complete the following steps.
Otherwise, go to the next section.
a. Carefully insert a hex wrench into the 3/8 in. tube,
and lightly push back the 1/8 in. capillary tube.
Figure 4-186: Push back the 1/8 in. capillary tube
with a hex wrench, or similar tool.
b. While holding the capillary tube back with the
wrench, cut the 3/8 in. tube with a razor blade.
Figure 4-187: Cut the 3/8 in. tube away from the
1/8 in. capillary tube.
NOTICE! Don't cut the 3/8 in. tube where the
blade could also cut the 1/8 in. capillary tube. If
the capillary tube is accidentally cut, it could
result in system performance issues.
Route the Tubing
1. Mount the nozzle behind the spindle head with the
included hardware and a 3/16 in. hex wrench.
