minutes before taking a sample!
If the plunger is moving sluggishly, regrea-
se smoke pump (See 5.2 Regreasing
smoke pump)!
3 10 complete intake strokes should be carried
out: the pump plunger is pulled back to the

filter paper, corresponding to stipulations.
4 Release knurled screw by turning it to the left
and remove filter paper strip.

ning the knurled screw to
the right.
