General guide to cleaning with solvents
31 520R, 520R2 and 520RE rotor
settings
520R, 520R2 and 520RE pumpheads are factory-set to give optimum tube life with
Watson-Marlow tubing and elements. Radial roller positions should not be adjusted
in any circumstances as this will adversely affect pumphead performance and inval-
idate warranty. Tamper-proof rotor arm occlusion setting screws are fitted to warn
operators from occlusion adjustment. Tubing with a wall thickness other than 1.6mm
or 2.4mm can be used only with a pumphead set up for that purpose during manu-
facture. Contact Watson-Marlow after-sales.
