9.3.3 Installing Auxiliary Pump Tubing
Note:
• The following tubing installation procedure is for MasterFlex I/P pumps with standard pump
heads. For other model/manufacturer pumps or pump heads, please refer to the
manufacturer user documentation.
1. Set occlusion adjustment knob to “1”.
2. Open pump head by turning the loading lever to the left.
3. Place tubing on the center of the rollers with the IP pump head and use the leaver on top
of pump head to close.
Note:
• Keep the tubing length on the pump inlet as short as possible (less than 2 meters / 6
feet). Make sure tubing is properly centered and not pinched by the retainers.
4. Close pump head by turning the loading lever to the right.
5. Adjust Occlusion setting to “3” in normal performance, “4” or “5” is for increased head
pressure or if more suction is required.
Note:
• The occlusion knob tends to get stuck due to salts, please inspect and clean frequently.
Make sure the tubing is appropriate for the process flow rates and the pump.
Make sure the pump rotation is in accordance with process flow direction.
