Adjusting the Vacuum Control
The vacuum control (Figure 1-2) allows low viscosity fluids, even water, to be consistently dispensed
without dripping between cycles. The vacuum exerts a negative pressure (suckback) on the fluid, thereby
decreasing dripping. Adjust the Vacuum Control as follows:
• Turn counterclockwise to increase vacuum pressure and decrease dripping.
• Turn clockwise to decrease vacuum pressure.
