Prime/vent valve with syringe:
6. Press the Direct Function screen key on the Status screen.
7. Select Dry Prime, and then press Enter.
8. In the Dry Prime dialog box, press the screen key corresponding to the
solvent line you want to prime.
9. Withdraw the syringe plunger, pulling solvent through the tubing.
Tip: You need to exert force to pull the air and solvent through the
system. Continue until you pull all the air through the solvent line and
into the syringe.
Tip: You need not push the syringe plunger. The draw-off valve is
located after the primary piston. Once it is filled with solvent, the
primary piston delivers solvent to the accumulator piston, and onward
to the sample management system.
10. Repeat step 8 and step 9 for each solvent line you want to prime, and
then close the prime/vent valve.
11. Press a screen key corresponding to the solvent line with which you
want to prime the system.
Tip: To facilitate purging air from the lines, start the wet prime using
the solvent with the lowest viscosity.
12. Specify a duration of 5 minutes and press Continue.
