Installing the rinse station

The base of one rinse station is shipped already secured to the locator plate and is located at the rear of the locator plate. The locator plate can hold an optional second rinse station or you can move the rinse station base to the alternate location.

Before installing the rinse station, make sure the locator plate has been properly installed with the previously-installed rinse station base located at the rear of the instrument bed.

To install the rinse station onto the base, follow these steps:

1Align the triangle on the bottom of the rinse station with the base.

2With the rinse station’s fittings facing you, insert the rinse station into the base.

3Press down and turn the rinse station clockwise. The rinse station is secure when you feel the rinse station snap into place. When installed correctly, the fittings point toward the control cabinet.

4If you will be doing shallow- or deep-pocket rinses, connect waste tubing to the barbed fitting installed on the rinse station.

If you will be doing flow-through rinses, remove the plug installed on the rinse station and replace it with a barbed fitting. Connect tubing between the barbed fitting and the external liquid source.
