General safety rules
x Install splash protection
To avoid any danger of injury by the needle, the splash protection
must always be installed when operating the 788 IC Filtration Sample
Processor!
x Install plug cover
To prevent any contamination of the mains and remote connection by
spilled solvents or chemicals, the plug cover must always be installed
when operating the 788 IC Filtration Sample Processor!
x Do not use caps together with the PEEK tube
If you are using the 6.1835.020 PEEK tube, the sample tubes may not
be sealed with caps because they cannot be pierced by the PEEK
tubing and the tubing may be damaged thereby.
x Handling of solvents
Check the pump tubing and all input and output leads periodically for
possible leaks. Follow the relevant instructions regarding the handling
of flammable and/or toxic solvents and their disposal.
x Regular exchange of pump tubings
Pump tubings constitute consumable material and must be replaced
from time to time (see section 6.3.3). Suitable measures must be
taken so that any leak which might occur in the pump tubing or
connections during unattended operation will cause no damage
(collection device for any liquid which may leak out).
