5. Operation
Important!
Press the connection of the hose firmly
into the holder until you can clearly
hear it click.
• Hooktheotherendofthehoseintothebulk
container that you are emptying or filling.
While performing a reagent fill/drain, ensure that the remote fill/
drain hose is securely placed in the remote container and is not
removed from the container until the operation is fully completed
Finally, pressurized air is used to clear the hose after each fill /
drain so that no dirt remains.
The hose should therefore not be removed from the bulk container
until this cleaning step is complete.
