Check that the instrument has not been damaged in transit.
Assembly
The Zippette Pro is packed with the dispense nozzle attached and the inlet feed tube removed. The 300 mm
length of PTFE inlet tube provided should be trimmed to t your particular reservoir. The bottom end should
be cut diagonally at a length that is close to the bottom of the container when the Zippette Pro is assembled
to the container. Longer lengths of inlet tube are available on request.
The threaded platform base of the Zippette Pro has a 30 mm screw thread for use with the recommended
accessories displayed on page 14. The assembled Zippette Pro is screwed to the reservoir using gentle hand
torque applied to the Zippette Pro’s threaded platform base only. Removal should also be by means of hand
torque applied to this same base.
Do not operate the piston until the unit is safely and fully mounted on the reservoir bottle.

Inserting the return spring (when applicable)
To insert the return self-priming spring follow the steps below:
1. Make sure that the Zippette Pro is completely empty. For ease of operation, assemble the Zippette Pro onto
an empty reservoir bottle and turn the dispense anti-drip tap to ‘Open’ position.
2. Turn the volume adjustment knob, to set the Zippette Pro to the max dispense volume of 30 ml (Drawing 1).
3. Turn the xing ring which is located at the bottom of the Zippette Pro’s piston sleeve until its raised rib is
aligned with the front piston sleeve slot and remove by gently pulling down (Drawing 1). The xing ring
should stay on the barrel protection inner sleeve (Drawing 2).
4. Press the two xing levers on the back of the piston sleeve inwards (Drawing 2), and lever the back piston
sleeve away from the front sleeve assembly (Drawing 3).
5. Remove the front sleeve assembly from the piston locator and move the piston out of its glass barrel
(Drawing 3 & 4).
6. Carefully guide the piston through the spring, and locate the piston back into its glass barrel (Drawing 5).
7. Reassemble the front Zippette Pro piston sleeve (Drawing 5) making sure that the cursor locates under the
stop ring (Drawing 5).
8. Ret the back piston sleeve and pull up the xing ring (Drawing 6) – turn it half circle to locate it onto the
Zippette Pro piston sleeve (Drawing 7). The unit is now ready for use (see operating instructions page 7).
