60.xxx – Niskin Bottles – Manual, ver. 3.00
Close the valve at top of the bottle by turning it
clockwise.
Loading the sampler; 5 L and larger
To load the water sampler force the lids open at both
ends, and while pushing the spring loaded black knob,
insert the eye of the nylon line to the pin of the release
mechanism. Releasing the knob will secure the nylon
line and the lids remain in open position.
IMPORTANT
Pass the second nylon line and secure it through the
handle to keep the top lid in the correct position, so it
will not be hit by the drop messenger during the
release. Attach the snap hook as shown on the photo.
Attaching the snap hook to the eye of the first line will
cause malfunction of the release system.
For loading the smaller 1,7 and 2,5 L bottles without
the handle, please refer to items 8 and 9.
