Section 1. Introduction to the LI-7815

The analyzer is secured in the backpack with several straps. The bottom of the instru-
ment will be against your back. The tubes can face up or down. Use caution with
the backpack kit:

Close the clasps and tighten the straps so that the instrument is secure.

Do not block the vents or set the instrument in standing water.

If you are unable to lift the backpack kit comfortably or tighten the straps, con-
sider enlisting the help of a "strapping" assistant.

Clip the chest and waist straps. Tighten all of the straps snugly.
