WARNING
To avoid personal injury when operating ÄKTA start, follow the in-
structions below.
•
Rotating the instrument. Make sure that there is always at
least 20 cm of free space around ÄKTA start to allow for suffi-
cient ventilation. When turning or moving the instrument, take
care not to stretch or squeeze tubing or cables. A disconnected
cable may cause power interruption or network interruption.
Stretched tubing may cause bottles to fall, resulting in liquid
spillage and shattered glass. Squeezed tubing may cause in-
crease in pressure, or block liquid flow. To avoid the risk of
knocking over bottles, always place bottles on the buffer tray
and turn or move carefully.
•
Hazardous chemicals during run. When using hazardous
chemicals, run the System cleaning template to clean and flush
the entire system tubing with distilled water, before service and
maintenance.
•
Setting. Check that the correct outlet size settings are used.
Make sure that tubing and fittings are properly connected and
secured. Make sure that the pressure limit settings are correct
before starting the run.
