NOTICE
Moving the Vanquish system stack after installation even over short
distances on the workbench can damage and impair the functionality of
the system base.
• Therefore, install the system stack at the final location.
• If you have to move the system after installation, see
System Stack after Installation
WARNING—Risk of tilting system stack
A one-stack configuration including the solvent rack and system base
and more than 4 stacked system modules (i.e. pump, autosampler, and
detectors) exceeds the maximum allowed height. If the system
configuration does not include a Charger, the system stack poses a tilting
risk which can entail personal injury.
If your system configuration includes more than 4 stacked modules but
no Charger, you need to stabilize the stack with one of the following
safety measures:
• IonBench with stack mounting kit
• Stack stabilizer kit
• Build up the system in two separate stacks
1. Place the system base on the workbench.
2. If necessary, unlock the system base (see
(} page 61)) to be able to shift the system base slightly for better
access to all system parts.
3. Only if you intend to guide the waste line of the system drainage
toward the system's rear:
Press the clips as shown in the left image and attach them onto the
system base at the positions shown in the right image.
Figure 4: Clip (left) and attaching the clips onto the system base (right)
4. Lift the pump by its carrying handles. Place the pump on the system
base approximately 5 cm before the end of the rails. Push the pump
towards the rear until the pump clicks into place.
