23. Agitate sample for minimum 3 minutes, we would always recommend using a
paint shaker, on the highest frequency, to agitate the sample. If a paint shaker is
not available we would recommend 4 to 5 minutes by hand with random direction
movements.
24. Remove the top chamber from the base of the bottle sampler.
25. Place the sample bottle into the bottle sampler.
Note: Do NOT pour fluid sample directly into the chamber.
26. Replace the top chamber. The silver spot on the top chamber should be aligned
with the centre of the smallest groove. The top chamber can then be lowered and
the top should be lined up with the silver line between the two lines on the base.
27. Screw top valve clockwise until slight resistance is felt, to close valve.
28. Turn the selector handle to Vacuum, the position nearest the yellow disc marked
V.
29. Switch ON the bottle sampling unit and leave running for several minutes, until all
air bubbles have been removed from the fluid sample.
Note: It may be necessary
