Fitting the nebuliser
Remove the Nebuliser Assembly (018-536) from the box, taking care not to touch or damage the needle. Ensure the O-Ring is fitted to the
rear extrusion and has not come loose in transit. Fit the air tube to the nebuliser inlet as shown.
Unscrew the nebuliser locating screw and gently insert the nebuliser into the mixing chamber recess, taking care to secure correctly, see
below. Secure into place using finger tight pressure only.
Each nebuliser is calibrated and adjusted under strict QC processes for optimum performance. This adjustment is critical and under no
circumstances should you attempt to readjust or dismantle the assembly. If adjustments are made to the nebuliser we shall not accept
responsibility for poor performance from your flame photometer. To keep your nebuliser at optimum performance the cleaning and
maintenance instructions from the manual must be followed.

Cut a new length of aspiration tube (provided in the aspiration kit) to a maximum of
160mm (for every 1cm over our recommendation the aspiration rate drops by up to 0.5ml/min). Push one end of
the aspiration tube onto the needle of the nebuliser taking care not to bend the needle.
Snip the free end to a sharp point (this helps prevent it ‘sticking’ to the bottom of sample cups).
