Discharge valve

The discharge valve is integrated in the discharge tube.
a) Remove the discharge tube and clean it in the ultrasonic bath
if necessary.
b) Mount cleaned or new discharge tube (s. page 33, fig. 1').
Note:
If the instrument does not fill up, and if some elastic resistance is
evident when the piston is pulled upward, then it is possible that the
ball valve is merely stuck.
In this case, loosen the ball valve using light pressure, for example,
with a 200 µl plastic pipette tip (see fig.).
