ICS-1000 Ion Chromatography SystemB.14 Priming the Pump1. Verify that the eluent reservoir is filled, the reservoir cap is installed and handtightened, and the liquid line from the ICS-1000 to the reservoir cap isconnected (see Section B.11).2. Verify that the waste lines are directed to a waste container.3. The priming procedure consists of two parts:• Priming the eluent lines with a syringe. Perform this procedure at initialinstallation, after changing eluents, or when eluent lines are empty.• Priming the pump heads with the Prime button. Perform this procedureafter the eluent lines are primed.B.14.1 Priming the Eluent Lines with a SyringeNOTEPrime the eluent lines after initial installation, afterchanging eluents, or when eluent lines are empty.1. Verify that the pump is turned off.2. Connect a 10 mL syringe (P/N 054578) to the port in the primingvalve on the primary pump head (see Figure B-35).SecondaryPump HeadWaste Valve(close)PortPrimaryPump Head10 mL Syringe(P/N 054578)Priming Valve(open)Figure B-35.
