Note: Make sure that the saline dispenser tube is firmly seated in the housing and

that the tubing flows smoothly without any kinks or twisting.

above the saline dispenser tube.

Avoid excessive pressure, however, as it could cause the filter to break.

14) Press the round plate (11) to allow saline to flow into the saline dispenser

tube. Do not allow the saline level to fill above the top inlet port (12,

Figure 7-5).
