The pump is shipped from the manufacturing site with the flow connections installed between the interior components.
When setting up flow connections, follow these rules and recommendations:
Flow connections can be filled with hazardous substances. Observe the warning messages and precautionary statements presented in Safety Precautions.
Dirty components can contaminate the chromatography system. Contamination leads to poor performance of the modules and entire system or can even cause damage to the modules and system. Therefore:
Always wear appropriate gloves.
Place the components only on a clean, lint-free surface.
Keep your tools clean.
Use only lint-free cloth for cleaning.
For installation instructions and guidelines and for handling recommendations, see Connecting Fittings, Capillaries, and Tubing.

TIP
Components or connections in the flow path to other system modules may be closed with plugs to protect the component or connection during transport.
