5.4 Adjusting the Clamp Screw

Once you start the pump, you may need to adjust the Clamp
Screw (4) slightly, to prevent the tube from creeping (moving)
through the pump. Creeping tends to occur on tubing of
larger sizes and tubing made from low friction materials (for
example, Santoprene). Use the following procedure to
eliminate creeping. Refer to Figure 5-6.
