Tubing preparation

2-6
4. The accessory package includes a 10 ft length (3 m) of tub-
ing. Cut a length of tubing to connect between the In port
and the source.
Note
Cut the tubing with a tubing cutter to ensure that the end is cut
cleanly and free from any deformation.
5. Prepare the tubing as shown in Figure 2-7.
Tapered edge of lock ring must
face the yellow ferrule
6. Insert the tubing into the In port. With the tubing fully
seated, thread the headless nut into the port until fin-
ger-tight.
7. Unthread the headless nut and inspect the fitting. The fer-
rule should be fully swaged at the end of the tubing. The
following should be observed:
· the yellow ferrule should be flush and perpendicular
with the end of the tubing,
· the metal lock ring should be compressed over the
ferrule without any gaps,
· all pieces should be correctly aligned and free from
any deformation.
If not fully swaged, reinsert the headless nut into the port
and tighten further. Remove the headless nut and inspect
again using the criteria above.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 to prepare the tubing for the
Waste port.
9. Route the headless nuts of the In and Waste fluid lines
down through the tubing guide on the back of the arm. The
tubing should be routed behind the metal guide pin.
10. Connect the fluid In line to the center port. Connect the
other end to the liquid source with user-supplied fittings.
