Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of a Manning Environmental, Inc. Model YB8 Sampler. The model
selected is the latest in a long line of state of the art equipment produced for over twenty three years by
Manning Environmental Inc. Based on this experience, if there is one thing Manning can claim it is that we
know samplers. T here are Manning samplers still used in regular service t oday that are o ver twenty years
old. I t is almost impossible t o find an organization with t he commitment of producing equipment with such a
history o f reliability, dependability, quality and value as exhibited by Manning samplers. E ven so,
improvement is a never ending goal at Manning. We are always interested in the perceptions and experiences
of our users. If there are any suggestions or comments on our equipment, this manual, or anything Manning
does, please feel free to contact us.
The YB8 is a stationary peristaltic pump based model which can automatically collect and hold Non-Toxic,
Toxic, and Suspended Solid samples from a liquid source. The unit was designed from the ground up with
active user participation to ensure the features and options that are important to field use were incorporated
into the unit. It employs a high speed, peristaltic pump to draw the samples and an industrial grade
refrigeration unit to cool and maintain them at the EPA recommended 4 C. Backed by Manning’s reputation
0
for quality and dependability, it will provide years of reliable service.
Even if t he sampler will not be used immediately upon receipt, unpack and examine it. This will help to
familiarize t he user with t he equipment. V erify that all o f t he parts have been received and that no damage
has o ccurred in shipment. I f damage is noticed, immediately report the extent of it t o both the transportation
company and to Manning Environmental Inc. In addition, check the packing list to verify that it matches the
