When the program has finished, a
beeping sound will occur (if the
audible alert is enabled). Buffer or
reagent will remain in the tray (the
last drain does not occur) and the
platform will continue to rock so that
the sample does not dry out. To run
the instrument again, simply press
START once more.
CHANGING BOTTLES
It is easy to disconnect the tubing
from the bottles. First tighten the
cap to ensure that no liquid will spill
when you carry the bottle. (There is
a valve in the One>Click™ bottle
caps that remains closed when the
tubing is not connected to prevent
spills.) Next, press on the metal
button of the fitting at the end of
the tubing, as shown in the figure
below, and simply pull the fitting
away from the bottle cap.
To disconnect the tubing from the cap,
press the metal tab (arrow).
To reconnect, simply slide the fitting
at the end of the tubing over the
fitting on the One>Click™ bottle
cap. You will hear a click when the
connection is made. Don’t forget to
loosen the cap before running the
Freedom Rocker™.
CHANGING TUBE SETS
It is easy to remove and/or replace
the tube set—no tools are required.
The fittings at the ends of the tube
set are quick release and only two
quick release pins (with ring tabs)
retain boomerang-shaped backers
which sit behind the tubes so the
tubes can be compressed by the
pump.
When installing or removing tubing,
to open the pinch valves to remove
or insert a particular tube, manually
run Fill or Drain with the volume
set to 0 mL. Repeat for all three
positions.

Boomerang shaped backers, one wide
and one narrow.
Removing the Tube Set
First, detach the tube set from the
aspiration head by disconnecting the
luer lock fittings. Now detach the
tube set from the buffer, waste, and
reagent containers by disconnecting
the quick-connect fittings from the
bottles by pressing the metal clips
on the fittings, as explained in
“Changing Bottles”
