If the injection valve is blocked, then the channels of the valve can be rinsed with water in the opposite direction. If this is not successful, then the injection valve must be cleaned by a Metrohm service technician. Filter The 6.2821.130 filters (17-2) should be replaced every three months and more frequently with higher backpressure.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 4 Operation and maintenance 2 Inserting the filter Place the filter in the tubing olive and press it flat. ■ 3 Installing the filter screw Screw the filter screw back into the tubing olive. ■ Peristaltic pump The flow rate of the peristaltic pump depends on the drive speed, the con- tact pressure and, above all, the inner diameter of the pump tubing.
