Empty Extractor: Once the desired amount of fluid is extracted, or the extractor reaches its 7 oz. capacity, remove the hose from the reservoir. Empty the extracted fluid into an appropriate waste container.
Ripetere se necessario: For larger volumes, repeat the extraction process until the task is complete.
