Replace the Syringe
To replace the syringe:
1. Screw the syringe into place.
2. Grab the base of the syringe plunger and gently pull down on it until it is fully seated into
the opening of the arm.
3. Tighten the thumbscrew at the base of the syringe completely. If the thumbscrew does
not go in as far as it did before, reposition the plunger and try again.
4. Turn on the analyzer. The syringe will return to its home position before the analyzer
begins its normal start up process.
5. Prime the system twice, watching for any leaks in the syringe area.
6. When the prime finishes, close the analyzer door.
