71.500 - Multi corer - Manual

The spring loaded bottom lid “H” is pressed

toward the centre of the sampler.

The security pin “I” at the end of the steel wire is
inserted into “J”, so the bottom lid is locked in

open position.

When loaded, you must avoid an unattended
release as the mechanism may cause injury to
people.

Open the quick release bracket for the tube

Tilt the sample tube to the side, so you can insert
it into the hole, lower the tube for 1 cm, approx.
Align the tube to vertical position.
