Emptying the Waste Tank

Empty the waste tank once each day, as well as after installing a new Stain Pak. To avoid
spilling the contents while emptying the waste tank, carefully pull the tank away from the
instrument, supporting the bottom of the tank to hold it level during removal. After
emptying into an appropriate receptacle, rinse the waste tank with water and reinstall it
into the instrument.
