Installation Step 3. Unpack and set on the bench • Unpack and set the oven on the bench. Make sure you: • Use two or more people or an appropriate lifting device to lift the oven from the ground to the bench. This unit weighs 34.0 kg (75.0 pounds). -
Page 16: Step 4. Install The Oven
Adjust the foot at each corner until the unit stands level and solid and does not rock. For the Agilent G2545A Hybridization Oven to operate properly, the unit must sit level and on a solid foundation. If the unit must be moved, turn the leveling feet all the way clockwise to prevent C A U T I O N damage while moving. - Page 17 Installation c Move the rotator into the oven and insert the two pins on the rotator drive shaft coupling into the two holes on the rotator coupling. See Figure Figure 3 Attaching the rotator to the drive shaft coupling d While you hold the rotator to keep the drive coupling attached, lower the rotator shaft into the slot in the rotator shaft support bushing.
- Page 18 Installation e Complete rotator installation by inserting the brass locking pin through the two holes in the shaft support bushing. See Figure Holes for brass locking pin Figure 5 Rotator correctly installed 4 Clean the oven as described in “Cleaning” on page 26.
