Installing the Pump
Priming and Purging the System
When priming the vacuum degasser with a syringe the solvent is drawn through the
N O T E
degasser tubes very quickly. The solvent at the degasser outlet will therefore not be fully
degassed. Pump for approximately 10 minutes with your selected flow rate before starting
any application. This will allow the vacuum degasser to properly degas the solvent in the
degasser tubes.
The pump should never be used for priming empty tubings (never let the pump run dry). Use
N O T E
the syringe to draw enough solvent for completely filling the tubings to the pump inlet
before continueing to prime with the pump.
