. Fill the bottle 3/4 full.
4. Re-tighten the bottle cap, the sampling valve cap, and the locknut.
Note:
The locknut prevents the accidental release of oil.
5. Record all the necessary sample data and identification on the forms and labels and then
promptly send to the lab for results.
When sampling oil from high pressure applications the oil might foam a lot. If this occurs,
collect the oil in an oil jug, and wait for the oil to degas before you transfer it to an oil sample
bottle.
