Instrument Set-Up
5.1 Tubing Installation
1. Insert the drop former, narrow end downward, into the drop arm,
pressing it firmly in the hole (see Figure 4.1).
2. Using a twisting motion, press the arm cap onto the drop arm to hold
the drop former in place.
3. Insure that the end of the inlet tubing is cleanly cut and not flattened
or deformed.
Insert tubing into the drop former, pushing down on the tubing until
the drop former starts to stretch. Do not use excessive force. Then,
gently pull out on the tubing until the drop former returns to its
original shape.
4. The inlet tubing may be routed through the tubing holder fitting at the
rear of the movable portion of the drop arm.
