Routine Tasks
Sheath and Waste Fluids
Replace the sheath fluid and empty the waste container as required.
Be careful not to touch the seal in the waste bottle cap or allow it to
become wet or dirty. This could cause the bottle to become
pressurized, causing pressure errors in the system. If the seal gets
wet, let it air-dry. Touching the seal can contaminate it. If it gets
dirty, you should replace the waste bottle cap.
If you are using the waste line, do not move it while the system is
running. While you can move the line along a horizontal surface, do
not permanently reroute the waste line elevation without first
contacting Technical Support. You can move the line temporarily for
cleaning and maintenance purposes.
You must manually monitor waste container levels. The Run Batch
tab displays a warning when you need to refill (or replace) the sheath
fluid container. See Figure 3-4.
