Figure 6: Fully Inserted AIP-3DP Automatic Insertion Diffusing Probe Do not handle the unit roughly or bend the shaft. The shaft has a polished surface that travels through seals. To prevent slamming of the insert/retract lock collar and/or the shaft piston (located inside the unit), operate the unit slowly and smoothly while inserting and retracting.
When the shaft begins to move, DO NOT open Valve D any further. This ensures a slow and smooth retraction of the shaft. When the probe has completely retracted from the pipeline, close the pipeline isolation valve. IOM-079 MODEL: AIP-3DP REV: C 13839 West Bellfort Street, Sugar Land, TX 77498 welker.com...

Inspect the wick for excessive wear or deterioration. Decontaminate the wick using some type of nontoxic, nonhazardous odor neutralizer, such as Welker® OdorEyes® OdorXice Mercaptan and Sulfur Odorant Removal, to rid the wick of the previous chemical odor. Reattach the wick housing with the wick to the base cap (Figure 1 and Figure 10).
