Connecting the Compressed Air Supply
If not connected, mark the 3/8” (9.5mm) outside diameter air supply hose 3/4" (19
mm) from the end and push the hose into the fitting in the back of the ScrubAir
Pipette Washer/Dryer marked AIR. Attach the other end of the hose to user
supplied air or insert gas supply. Turn on the air supply.
Connecting the Water Supply
To prevent valve clogging, thoroughly flush the water lines for your water supply
source prior to connecting the washer to the water line. The tap water supply hose
is connected to the press to connect fitting at the back of the washer base marked
W. The 3/8 OD pure water supply hose is connected to the press to connect
fitting at the back of the washer base marked P.
If using the quick connect hose coupling for the tap water supply, an aerator
adapter and a standard adapter fitting are provided and need to be installed on the
faucet. Refer to illustration on page 4. If the adapter fittings provided do not allow
for a tight connection to the faucet, a variety of internally and externally threaded
fittings are available at local hardware stores. Use caution when installing the
fittings to prevent stripping the threads.
The hose faucet coupling attaches and seals to the aerator adapter by pushing the
parts together. The hose end faucet coupling must be snapped into place before
turning on the hot water. Turn the water on slowly until the faucet is fully open.
When the coupler is attached to the faucet, water can be obtained through the
bottom of the coupler by pressing the pressure release button.
The hose faucet coupling may be removed from the faucet when the washer is not
in use. Make sure both the hot and cold water faucets are turned off. Push the
pressure relief button on the hose faucet coupling to relieve the water pressure.
Pull down on the release ring on the hose coupling to disconnect it from the
faucet.
