Installation

CAUTION: Read Section 6 entitled BATH USE before placing the bath
into service.
5.1

Moving or Uncrating the Bath

The bath is equipped with casters and should be rolled. It is not equipped with
handles and is not designed to be lifted.
When uncrating the bath, remove all of the accessories from the packing foam
around the bath. Remove the pre-formed foam. Gently ease the bath from the
crate using the casters to roll the bath. If it is required to lift the bath slightly to
release it from the crate, two people should carefully slide their hands under the
bath and gently lift the bath only enough to clear the packing foam and roll the
bath from the crate. The area containing the compressor will be heavier than
the rest of the bath.
If it is required to move the bath after installation, empty the bath of fluid. DO
NOT move a bath filled with fluid. Unlock the casters and roll the bath. Do
not attempt to carry the bath. It is tall and heavy and is not provided with han-
dles. Personal injury or damage to the bath may occur.
5.2

Bath Environment

The Model 7341 Bath is a precision instrument, which should be located in an
appropriate environment. The location should be free of drafts, extreme temper-
atures and temperature changes, dirt, etc. The surface where the bath is placed
must be level. Provide at least 6 inches (15 cm) of clearance around the instru-
ment to allow sufficient air circulation.
The top surface of the bath may become hot at high temperatures. Beware of
the danger of accidental fluid spills.
A fume hood or other adequate ventilation system should be used to remove
any vapors given off by hot bath fluid. Silicone oils require additional ventila-
tion to prevent an oily, dirty environment.
5.3

Tipping Prevention Bracket Installation

In order to create the safest possible conditions under use, your bath comes
equipped with a tipping prevention bracket. The installation of the bracket is re-
quired for compliance with the international safety standard IEC 1010-1, Sec-
tion 7.3, Stability, that applies to the stability of the bath under normal
operating conditions.
