REPLACING EJECTOR TIP
The ejector tip is attached to the ejector rod by means of a threaded stud. It pushes the sample of soil from the probe into the sample pot.
The ejector tip should travel easily into the soil probe to avoid damage and should be adjusted so that approximately 8-10 mm of the tip extends past
the end of the soil probe. It should be central to the soil probe to prevent excessive wear to both parts and to also ensure all of the soil is fully ejected.
Tools Required:
2 x self locking pliers
1 x metal ruler / vernier calliper
Soft jaw vice
1 x 4 mm hex key
Thread lock
