GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: EVEN THE SAFEST EQUIPMENT CAN CAUSE INJURY IF THE USER IS CARELESS.

1. KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT - Read the operating manual carefully. Learn the equipment's application and

limitations.

2. GROUND ALL EQUIPMENT - If electrical, this instrument is equipped with a grounding type plug. The

green/yellow conductor in the cord is the grounding wire and should never be connected to a live terminal.

3. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT - Electrical instruments designed to process liquids must be

operated with extreme caution. If liquid comes in contact with internal electrical components or wires, fire or

electrical shock may occur. Adequate surrounding workspace should be provided during use. Do not operate

electrical instrumentation in a combustible atmosphere.

4. WORK SURFACE- Keep well lighted. Be certain the work surface is clean, level and sturdy enough to support

the weight of the unit, particularly if it is to be filled with liquid.

5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL - Do not wear loose clothing, neckties or jewelry that might get caught in moving

parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.

7. DON'T OVERREACH- Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

8. MAINTAIN INSTRUMENT WITH CARE - Keep screws tight and unit clean. Check periodically for worn or

damaged parts. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not operate this instrument if there are signs of

damage.

9. AVOID ACCIDENTAL START UP - If electrical, always make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position before

plugging instrument into outlet.

10. DISCONNECT INSTRUMENT - Always disconnect the instrument from the power source before servicing.

11. DO NOT BLOCK COOLING VENTS IF PROVIDED

INTRODUCTION

The WSP Grab Sampler 1 is a subsurface water-sampling tool designed to obtain samples from spillways,

boats, docks, etc., without physical entry into the effluent. It is constructed of 72” x ¾” square aluminum tubing

with a gold alodine finish. The WSP Grab Sampler 1 provides two different size clamps for mounting various

size bottles up to 1000 ml. Typical uses include routine water sample collection for analysis ranging from

B.O.D. to the full range of priority pollutants. The WSP Grab Sampler 1 affords easy waterway access,

eliminates surface contamination and assists in conforming to procedures described in the U.S. E.P.A’s

“Handbook for Monitoring Industrial Wastewater”. A 1000 ml borosilicate glass sample bottle with Teflon

lined screw cap is included.

INSTRUMENT SET UP (refer to fig. A)

1. Select the bottle clamps (2) (3) which best fit the desired sample bottle.

2. Slide the clamp onto the bottle to a point midway between the bottle shoulder and heel and tighten by turning

thumbscrew clockwise.

3. Insert the rod end of the clamp into the hole provided at the base of the Grab Sampler with bottle cap facing

suction cup (7).

4. Align the bottle so that the suction cup, when applied to the cap, is centered on the cap. It should be noted that

the unit will still function properly even if there is a degree of misalignment between the suction cup and bottle

cap. Tighten the bottle clamp by turning the clamp knob (12) clockwise.

5. With a firm sharp motion, slide the pull rod (10) toward the bottle so that the suction cup adheres to the top of

the bottle cap.

6. The unit is now ready for sampling (See Sampling Procedure).

SAMPLING PROCEDURE

DANGER!

BEWARE OF OVERHEAD WIRES! DUE TO THE LENGTH OF THE GRAB SAMPLER, IT IS

POSSIBLE TO REACH AND CONTACT OVERHEAD HIGH VOLTAGE WIRES. EXTREME CARE

MUST BE TAKEN ESPECIALLY OVER BRIDGES AND EVEN IN REMOTE AREAS THAT ARE

NOWHERE NEAR ROADS. HIGH VOLTAGE WIRES CAN BE WITHIN EASY REACH OF THE

GRAB SAMPLER.

WARNING! WHEN SAMPLING HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND SAFETY

GOGGLES MUST BE WORN.

1. With the bottle aligned properly and the suction cup firmly applied to the top of the bottle cap, place the closed

bottle into sample stream at the desired level. Good sampling practices, as recommended by the Environmental

Protection Agency or state agency, should be followed. The bottle mouth should be oriented to face upstream.

2. Unscrew the bottle cap from the bottle by turning the pull knob (11) counterclockwise. Turn this knob as many

times as is necessary to ensure the bottle cap is completely unscrewed from the bottle.

3. Pull up on pull knob to totally remove the cap from the bottle mouth.

4. Allow the open bottle to remain submerged until the proper sample volume is collected.

5. With the bottle still submerged, push down on the pull knob and turn clockwise until the cap completely seals

the bottle.

6. Remove the collected sample from the stream.

7. Disengage suction cup from bottle cap.

8. Remove the full sample bottle from the bottle clamp by turning the thumbscrew counterclockwise and replace

with an empty bottle if desired. Tighten cap.

IMPORTANT! EVEN THOUGH THE GRAB SAMPLER 1 IS CONSTRUCTED OF HIGH

STRENGTH ALUMINUM ALLOY AND STAINLESS STEEL, HIGHLY CORROSIVE CHEMICALS

SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
