1) The syringe holder and pusher block are fitted with movable retaining brackets
which hold the syringe barrel and plunger when refilling. When loading the
syringe into the pump, it is necessary to adjust these brackets. The pusher block is
fitted with a mechanism to release the drive nut from the leadscrew. This allows the
block to move freely so the syringe to be loaded.
2) Loosen the screws on the syringe block and pusher block to free the retaining
brackets (2 and 3, Figure 1)
3) To free the pusher block from the leadscrew, turn the knob on the front of the block
(1) until the pin in the knob slips into the hole in the block.
4) The syringe clamp locking screw on the right side of the syringe block (4) should
be loosened and the clamp rotated to the side.
5) Place the syringe barrel on the syringe holder block and move the pusher block to
accommodate the plunger.
6) Make sure the syringe barrel flange and the plunger flange are held by the retain-
ing clamps. Press the retaining brackets firmly against the flanges and tighten the
retaining screws.
7) Rotate the syringe clamp and press down firmly on the syringe barrel. Secure in
place by tightening the locking screw (4) .
Setting Limit Stops
To set the limit stops, loosen thumbscrews on limit stops and slide stops to desired travel limits
(infuse limit & refill), tighten thumbscrews.
