To retrofit the rinse station plumbing on an ASX-520 or ASX-260, complete the
following:
1. Gently pull the existing rinse station away from the autosampler rinse
block.
2. Remove the rinse tubing between the rinse station and the peristaltic
pump and also remove the rinse solution suction tubing to the
peristaltic pump.
3. Install the Y-tubing assembly (supplied in the upgrade kit) on the
existing Standard Bowl Rinse Station, and onto the lower two
connections of the peristaltic pump, as shown in Figure 3-43 and 3-44.
4. Connect one end of the supplied drain tubing to the drain/overflow
fitting (highest fitting) of the rinse station. Connect the drain tube from
the rinse station to a suitable waste container, ensuring that the end of
the drain tube does not become submerged below the waste liquid
level, as that condition will impede proper drainage. Note: This length
