This chapter describes how to operate the system, from starting the system
to switching off the system.
To start the system, proceed as follows:
1. Inspect the waste tank and slide drawer for proper positioning below the
platen. Each should be pushed completely into its respective cavity in
the front of the system.
2. Check the system for correct leveling, see Chapter 8.2.
3. On top of the system, at the right side, press the power switch. The
green power light in the power switch goes on, the fan starts and the
conveyor spirals slowly revolve.
4. At the right side of the system, check which of the lights is on.
• If the yellow low stain light is on: Go to Chapter 7.2.
• If the red waste tank light is on: Go to Chapter 6.5.
• If the green power light in the power switch is on: Go to Chapter 5.2.
To prime the pump tubing, proceed as follows:
NOTICE
Air bubbles remain in the pump tubing due to insufficient or
interrupted priming
Staining of the smeared glass slides can be of inadequate quality.
• Prime the pump tubing before staining smeared glass slides.
• Do not stop priming before the pump tubing is free of air bubbles.
1. Start the system, see Chapter 5.1.
2. Left of the pump assemblies, turn the pump tubing release knob to the
lock position, see Chapter 4.1.1.
3. Left of the pump assemblies, press the priming button, see
Chapter 4.1.1. The green light in the priming button goes on and the
pumps start rotating.
4. Wait until the stain, buffer, and rinse all flow evenly through their tubes
to the platen without any air bubbles.
