CAUTION: Turn the drive off before removing or installing tubing. Fingers or loose clothing
could get caught in the drive mechanism.
• Check to ensure that the rollers are clean and free of defects.
• Tubing should be clean and routed so that bend radii are at a minimum of four (4) times the outside tube
diameter and are as short as possible.
• Use the appropriate tube diameter for the required fl ow rate and viscosity.
• Regularly recalibrate tubing to maintain the best accuracy of fl ow rates (for further information see
Calibration" on page 3-14).
• After installing new tubing the pump should be run for 20-30 minutes to properly condition the tubing
and increase dispense accuracy (for further information see "To condition new tubing" below).
1. Turn the pump head handle counterclockwise to raise the upper section of the pump head.

a. Completely inside the pump head.
b. Seated over the roller-head.
c. Sitting in the V-shaped grooves located on either side of the pump head.
3. Turn the pump head handle clockwise to close the pump head.
