5. Verify the liquid is discharged smoothly from the dilution bowl during priming.
6. If the liquid is increasing without being discharged, a leak exists, an electrode is
incorrectly positioned, or a clog is in the drain system. If the liquid increases,
immediately stop the instrument.
IMPORTANT
If clogging occurs, the most probable cause is that the flow path is clogged inside the
electrode. Remove the Na and K electrodes, and check them by transmitted light to
see whether the flow path is clogged or not. You cannot do this for the Cl electrode
because of its construction. When in doubt, even if you cannot find a problem, try
replacing the electrode.
7. Mount the stainless steel cover on the top of the ISE unit by sliding it inside and
fasten the screw retaining the cover.
NOTE
When sliding it, be careful not to scratch the tubes or dilution bowl. When fastening
the screw, verify that the cover is not caught in the groove and is not loose.
8. Reinstall the cover and tighten the screws.
