SYRINGE LOADING

1
The Legato 100 Series can accommodate up to two
syringes. Depending on the mechanism, any type of syringe,
glass, plastic or stainless steel can be used. The pump can
accommodate from 0.5 µl to 60 ml single syringe and 0.5
µl to 10 ml dual syringe. The syringe barrel clamp should be
flipped for syringes smaller than 30 ml. For syringes larger
than 30 ml, the syringe clamp should be used as shown.
1. Squeeze the release button (1) and move the
pusher block (2) to the approximate length of the
syringe.
2. Unscrew the bracket clamping knobs (7,8) to
loosen the retaining brackets (4,5) on the pusher
block (2) and the syringe holder block (3).
3. Unscrew the syringe barrel clamp (10) by
unscrewing the syringe barrel clamp knob (6).
4. Place the syringe on the syringe holder block (3).
Ensure the barrel flange is within the syringe holder's
block's retaining bracket (5) and the plunger flange is
in the pusher block's retaining bracket (4).
