7 MANUAL OIL SAMPLING
A manual oil sample can be taken via the following arrangement.
Before commencing work, ensure the use of suitable protective gloves, such
as nitrile rubber.
7.1 Sampling Arrangement
The product has one manual oil sampling port fitted to the base. This consists of a quick-
connect body and a captive body-protector fitting as shown in Figure 7-1. The product
ensures that there is fresh oil at the sampling point when the sampling process takes
place.

A male quick-connect fitting and valve assembly is provided in the product installation kit.
GE also recommends the use of a 50-mL ground glass syringe.
Note: The manual oil sampling arrangement and the quick-connect sampling port must
not be cleaned with any type of solvent as this could affect results for subsequent
oil samples.
