Storage tank connection
To connect the storage tanks, proceed as follows:
• Cut the solaflex tube into pieces to the appropriate length.
• Insert a PTFE suction tube into the solaflex tube.
• Push a EPDM sealing ring over the solaflex tube.
• Now fasten the tubes to the tank with the red screw cover.
The storage tanks should not be positioned higher than the device itself and not lower than
1 meter below the instrument.
