General preparations
Remove the sample racks and sample containers from the sample compartment.
Run the script: B05 - Shutdown (Long-term) with the following parameter: Module to remove = Sampler.
If not already done, secure the needle unit (see Securing the Needle Unit).
To be able to shift the system base slightly on the workbench for better access to system parts, unlock the system base using the system base locking tools. See Unlocking the System Base.
Move the system stack into an appropriate working position.
Shutdown
Turn off all system modules with their main power switch. Pressing the system power button will not be sufficient to turn off the power to the devices completely.
Disconnect the power cord.
Disconnect all signal cables to other devices.
Flow connections
Remove all flow connections to other system modules and to the reservoirs:
Seal wash reservoir line and seal wash pump inlet line.
Interconnect the lines that remain connected to the metering device head with a tubing connector.Needle wash lines
Capillary from pump
Capillary to column compartment, if installed
NOTICE
Flow connections and capillary connectors are highly sensitive to contamination. Dust and debris can contaminate these connections.
Cleaning
If condensation or spilled samples are present in the sample compartment, clean and decontaminate the sample compartment.
Check the leak trays for liquid leaks. If liquid is present, absorb the liquid with a tissue.
