Use caution in the areas where this symbol is displayed on the instrument — such as
near the heating stations. These surfaces may be hot and could cause serious burns.
Use the gloves supplied in the accessories kit.
Insert Adapters
Use an adapter insertion tool to insert an adapter into the heating station before inserting the
sample tube. An adapter may be inserted into the heating station with either end in the upward
position.
To insert the adapter, insert the tool into the adapter so that the pronged tip of the adapter tool fits
into one of the small holes in the side of the adapter. Slide the adapter into the heating station and
remove the adapter.
