• Attach the exhaust sample probe to the water trap fitting (2) at the rear of the base
station.
• Attach the exhaust outlet pipe to the Exhaust Gas outlet (4). The exhaust outlet
pipe is used to expel the sampled exhaust gases from the test vehicle well away
from the active working area, to prevent technicians inadvertently inhaling the
gases. Run the outlet pipe to a well ventilated area.
