3.4.1 Recovering the Sampler
When the GLS completes the program, it often
must be retrieved and placed in a location that
allows you easily gain access to its contents. If
you must move the sampler keep the following
in mind:
• A GLS with battery, full sample bottle,
and ice may weigh as much as 63 pounds
(28.6 kg).
• The GLS must be kept level to avoid
spilling the bottle’s contents.
3.4.2 Preparing the Full Sample Bottle
To prepare a full bottle to return to the lab you
must first gain access to the sampler’s base. To
open the sampler:
1. Place the sampler on a level surface.
2. Rotate the carrying handle from its secured
(vertical) position to its open (horizontal)
position. Unlock the handle if necessary.
3. Release the two latches that fasten the
center section to the base section.
4. Lift the center section from the base and set
the center section aside.
5. Now that you have gained access to the
bottle, place a cap on it. Then, lift the bottle
out of the base. At this point, it is a good
idea to label the bottle with the time, date,
and site, along with other pertinent
information.
