5. Equipment Startup

5.1 Check oil level

All pumps are supplied filled with oil. The prevent oil spills during shipping, a temporary plug is

provided. Before starting up the pump replace the temporary plug with the operational plug. Check the

oil level daily.

5.2 Fastener Inspection

All pump fasteners should be checked prior to pump operation, and occasionally during use. This

would include reagent head mounting bolts, motor mounting bolts, and the hardware that secures the

pump to its foundation. Most hardware can be checked simply to ensure it is not loose. However, when

checking reagent head bolt torque each bolt should be 44 lbf/inch.

5.3 Output Adjustment

All BLACKLINE

pumps have a hand wheel for manual stroke adjustment. The hand wheel can be

adjusted to any point from 0 to 100%. This value represents the stroke length setting and therefore the

flow rate of the pump relative to its maximum output.

5.3.1 Stroke Length Adjustment

The graduated knob from 0 to 10 rotates along a fixed linear vernier.

The line of the fixed vernier is the benchmark to set the adjustment

system at desired flow rate percentage value. One graduated knob

complete turn corresponds to an adjustment change from 1% to

100%.
