3.
Mounting and
aligning the instru-
ment on a bottle
Note:
For bottles with other thread sizes, select a suitable adapter. The
adapters supplied with the instrument are made of ETFE and PTFE.
4.
Transporting the
instrument
Screw the instrument (GL 45 thread)
onto the reagent bottle and then align
the discharge tube with the bottle label
by turning the valve block (Fig. 3). To
prevent tipping, use a bottle stand (see
page 46) – particularly with small bottles
and when using the flexible discharge
tubing.
Incorrect handling can, among other
things, lead to breakage of the bottle-
neck, safety ring or the bottle adapter.
When mounted to a reagent bottle,
always carry the instrument as shown in
the figure (Fig. 4)!
Warning:
Always wear protective gloves when
touching the instrument or the bottle,
especially when using dangerous liquids
(e.g. HF).
