4.2 TUBE LOADING

WARNING: Turn off drive before removing
or installing tubing. Safety guard is provided
to minimize risk of fingers getting caught
between roller mechanism and the base of
the module. However, be safe—keep your
fingers away from these areas.
CAUTION: Use only tubing sets listed in
Appendix B. Use of other tubing could cause
malfunction or damage to the pump.
With the drive stopped, follow this procedure to install tubing:
1. Release latch and open occlusion bed (Figure 5).
2. From the top of the Pump Head, insert one end of the
tubing over rollers. While holding occlusion bed, open spring
loaded safety guard enough so that tubing can be inserted
between guard and slotted tubing retainer (Figure 6).
3. Place tubing stop collar into slot to secure (Figure 7).
4. Making sure not to twist tubing, lightly stretch it across
rollers to secure tubing stop collar in corresponding slot on the
opposite end of Pump Head (latch side) (Figure 8).
Repeat the process for additional tubing channels as required.
