Bottle Cap Setup

ners to open the bottle.
b. For each drop-down tube, one at a time:
i. Using a soft, lint-free cloth (such as a KimWipe
®
) moistened with distilled water (not
tap water), wipe the drop-down tube to remove any lint or dust from the tube.
ii. Carefully place the drop-down tube into the appropriate color-matching bottle, then
tighten the bottle cap.
c. Thread the long tubes from the back of the HM5 through the punched-out hole in the
reagent pack lid.

29. Select Next through the steps of the pack change process until the analyzer primes.
30. Select Home to return to the Home screen.
CAUTION: In the following steps, do not touch the drop-down tubing
with your bare hands, or you may contaminate the reagents.
Wear latex or nitrile gloves.
Note: Be sure to save the original reagent caps so you can re-cap the con-
tainers when the reagent pack is used up.
CAUTION: Make sure the small air vent on each cap is not blocked, so air can
flow freely.
