To mount the pump heads to the basic unit, proceed as follows:
1.
Pull off the mounting plate with the pump heads from the rea-
gent bottle and pump holder.
2. Plug the mounting plate with the pump heads onto the pump
motor drive shafts.
3. Insert the cover plate into the support.
In order to prepare the reagent hoses for operation, they must be
filled with reagent using the rocker switches on the basic unit.
WARNING
When using heavily corrosive reagents (acids and bases), it is
particularly important only to use suitable and undamaged
hoses. They must also be securely fastened.
Furthermore, the exit gas filter must not be blocked. This en-
sures that no pressure builds up and no reagent escapes due to
burst hoses.
Observe the following points:
Remove the clamps from the reagent hoses, before filling.

Ensure that no reagent escapes into the culture vessel, if pos-

sible.
Proceed as follows for filling:
