4. Instrument Setup
• After the dispenser needle cleaner is installed,
it must be aligned relative to the dispenser
needle (13).
• To do so, unscrew the screw (7) using the
No. 3 Allen key (6) ( Fig. 20/1 ) and align the dis-
penser needle cleaner by moving the bracket
(3) sideways until the dispenser needles (13)
move into the correct position in the middle of
the cleaning port ( Fig. 21 ).
• Finally, ensure that the gripper (14) does not
collide with the dispenser needle cleaner
( Fig. 22 ) during its movement or that of the
transported specimen slide (18).
• If the edge of the specimen slide touches the
lid of the brush holder, you can carry out a fine
adjustment after unscrewing the screws (9) on
the housing wall ( Fig. 19/2 ). To do so, use the
available play in the bores.
