2. Place the label A sticker onto one of the four solvent reservoir bottle caps.
3. Pass one end of the inlet line for solvent A through the solvent reservoir bottle cap
labeled A. Terminate the inlet line with one of the solvent reservoir filters included in the
system accessory kit (see Figure 10).
Note Four Teflon end-of-line filters come with the Accela System Kit (Solvent
Interconnect Kit). These filters thread onto the solvent lines. Only use non-metallic
filters on solvent lines.

4. Insert the solvent reservoir filter and inlet line into one of the solvent reservoir bottles,
and screw the cap onto the solvent reservoir bottle until it is secure.
Note The cap is a two-piece assembly. The upper section (Figure 10) snaps onto a
threaded section. You can screw the threaded section onto the bottle and snap the
upper section on after you install the tubing, or, if you are replacing existing tubing,
you can unscrew the entire cap from the bottle.
5. Position the bottle in the Accela solvent platform, allowing the solvent inlet line to hang
down along the left side of the Accela system.
