60.xxx – Niskin Bottles – Manual, ver. 3.00
The latex rubber band inside the tube, for closing the
lids, has a limited warranty and direct exposure to
sunlight for a longer period will shorten durability.
When used in salt water always wash with fresh water
after use and before storage.
The centre hanger (optional) will keep the Niskin bottle
in vertical position to ensure a proper release. You
must use a drop messenger 60.004 (800 g) for the
release.
A: Guiding rail for the line
B: Fastening for the line
C/D: Bolts for the sliding mechanism
E/F: Bolts for fastening the Niskin bottles
Fasten the line properly at “B”. Twist the line through
the guiding rails at “A”.
It is recommendable having a tight knot beneath the
lock “B” to avoid losing the hanger and the Niskin
bottle.
