PRIMING THE PUMP DRIVE
It is recommended that you prime the pump drive before use. Priming the pump draws uid through the
tubing and eliminates air pockets from the system.
CAUTION: Turn the drive o before removing or installing tubing. Fingers or loose clothing
could get caught in the drive mechanism.
Example Flow System
To prime the pump drive:
1. Insert the tubing into the pump head (for further information see "Loading Tubing" on page 2-10).
2. Insert the tube inlet into the supply uid.
3. Insert the tube outlet into an appropriate container.
4. Switch the drive on using the power switch located at the rear of the drive. NOTE: If User Management
is enabled you may be prompted for a username and password (For further information see "User
Management" on page 2-8).
5. Navigate to the Continuous, Time or Volume Mode screens.
6. Press and hold PRIME until there are no bubbles visible in the tubing. Priming will stop when
PRIME is released.
• It is recommended that you calibrate new tubes to ensure accurate ow rate and uid dispensing
(for further information see "Tube Calibration" on page 2-13).
• When using new tubing it is possible that the pump will not prime and/or will not dispense uid
(depending on the type of tubing used). If this occurs, it is recommended that you wet the tubing
and then run the pump with the tubing for approximately 20-30 minutes.
