WARNING
Fuels and solvents are flammable and may cause
irritation to the eyes or skin. Wear protective gog-
gles, gloves, and an apron; avoid contact with skin,
eyes, and clothing. Use in well ventilated areas and
keep away from heat or flame. Follow all Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), Hazardous Materials
Identification System (HMIS), ISO 9000, Lab Stan-
dard Operating Procedures (SOP), and related in-
structions. Failure to comply may result in person-
nel injury or death.
4. Using the graduations on the side of a clean
beaker, pour appropriate amount of fuel into the
beaker per the method. A minimum of 500 ml
may be used. Slowly add the fuel into the filter/
funnel until all the fuel has been placed into the
filter
[Figure13]. Place the now empty beaker in the
sample-out position at the right of the sample
container area.
5. Place an O-ring on the sample-out line. O-rings
are required on all tubing lines except the aeration
and sample-in lines. Place a clean small O-ring
(650-005-002) at the end of each line before
securing the line in place [Figure14a and 14b]. Inspect
the O-rings and replace if damaged or missing.
6. Connect the sample-out line to the appropriate
fitting on the front panel [Figure4].
7. Once the fuel has been filtered, remove the filter
and dispose of it according to local regulations.
8. Remove, clean, and store the funnel.
9. Rotate the ring stand assembly to the left and
store into the ring stand housing of test machine
[Figure11a].
