Aerosol Neutralizers Instruction Manual to determine your legal
responsibilities regarding the neutralizer.

2. Inspect the ¼-in tubes on the neutralizer to make sure that the
ends do not have sharp edges. If the outer edges of the ends are
sharp, they will cut the O-ring seals in the Classifier and cause
a leak. Remove any sharp edges using a fine file or fine grit
sandpaper suitable for stainless steel.
3. Put a light coating of grease on the outer diameter of the ¼-in
tubes on the neutralizer.
