Or, if conditions require, place the neoprene- <br />terminated access tubes in a trench, terminating above the soil <br />surface at a remote location, We recommend that the access tubes <br />be protected inside a conduit tube running from the top of the Sam- <br />pler to the termination at the surface. At the surface level, take <br />care that the access tubes are safe from damage by mechanical <br />equipment or animals. Do not cover the surface area directly above <br />the Sampler in any manner that would interfere with the normal <br />percolation of soil water down to the depth of the Sampler, other- <br />wise the obstruction could have an adverse affect on your soil wa- <br />ter sample. <br />Collecting A Sample in the To collect a sample, the discharge access tube is closed using a <br />Sampler clamping ring, and the vacuum port of the hand pump is connected <br />to the Pressure-Vacuum access tube. The pump is then used to <br />create a vacuum of about 60 cb inside the Sampler, which is indi- <br />cated on the gauge connected to the pump (see Fig. 10). <br />Figure ]0. <br />SOILMOISTURE EQUIPMENT CORP. 13 <br />P.O.
