4.4 Assembly of tubes and Y-connectors
Before mounting the tubes in the dispenser head
the tubes must be assembled with a Y-connector.
When the Y-connector has been assembled,
mount the tubes in the dispenser head, as shown
in 4.5
Each set of tubes and y-connector must be assembled as
this.
4.5 Mounting of silicone tubes
PF6 is equipped with tube bridges and tube locks. The tube locks ensure that the mounted tubes do
not slide through the pump head when dispensing.
The tube bridge retains the tube and performs the necessary pressure on the tubes.
Open the dispenser head by tipping
each of the two locking pins up (1)
and lift the tube bridge (2)
Mount the wanted tube size
together with the matching tube
lock.
Press down the two locking pins (1)
Never leave the dispenser mounted
with tubes overnight.
At least tip the locking pins (1) up in
order not to retain the tube in
pressure.
