Small Free Fall Corer - Manual
5
11
Lower the free fall corer at a reasonable speed to take
the sample.
Ejecting the sample
12
After raising the corer, dismount the carver and the
orange peel system. Take out the internal acrylic or PP
tube.
For later analysis, you can secure the samples with
rubber bungs or caps at the tube’s end(s).
For ejecting the sample into smaller parts, adjust the
small crossbar accordingly.
Due to small variations in the inside diameter of the
pipe, it may be necessary to adjust the nut at the end
of the piston. Check regularly that the nut does not
come loose, so the steel bar may fall off.
13
Using the fraction tray demands that the sample tube
is positioned in vertical position. Add the fraction tray
on top of the tube and secure with the wing nut on the
black part of the tray.
The small plate can slice off the visible sample.
Storing and maintenance
14
Before storing, rinse the sampler thoroughly using fresh water. Store in open position, so the
inner parts will become dry.
Do not use alcohol for cleaning acrylic parts.
Items, like PP/PVC/acrylic tubes, rubber seals, motor houses with or without Fluorinert, etc.,
and a long exposure to direct sunlight or lack of clean up for salt water might affect the
durability and stability of the products and will remain uncovered by the warranty.
Replace worn component with original spare parts.
