Mount the accessories
■ Take the upper edge of the reaction vessel in your hand (e.g. in
the gap between your thumb and index finger) and turn the glass
round once.
This serves for covering the degreased glasses with a light fat
film so that the vessel covers can be removed more easily after
the determination.
■ Insert an air tube (5-5) in the connector (5-7) of the reaction ves-
sel cover, fix it with the O-ring (5-6) and fasten it by screwing in
the thread adapter M8 / M6 (5-3).
■ Place the reaction vessel cover on the reaction vessel. Turn the
cover in such a way that the air tube is as close as possible to the
vessel wall.
■ Connect the white silicone tubing to the tubing connector (5-4)
of the reaction vessel cover.
■ Place the prepared reaction vessel in the vessel holder.
