Remove
the shipping screws and lower the
free
legs to
the next hole position in tl1e leg. Then
replace the shipping screws to the lock-in
position.
Repeat the step above by lifting from the
opposite end. This will bring the cabinet to a
level position. Extreme care should be taken
in this step to make sure the cabinet does not
slip on the floor.
Now repeat the steps above once to obtain
the sitting position height and twice to obtain
the standing position height.

After the unit has been adjusted to the
desired position, insert the solid dot plugs
(shipped in a small bag on the work surface),
into the unused holes in the legs to prevent
dust and dirt from entering the legs through
the open holes.

Check to be sure that the liquid drain valve is
in the closed position. (The handle on the
valve should be parallel to the floor). If
something is spilled in the work area, it will
remain in the drain·system and wo11't reach
the laboratory floor. Precautions may be
required for the safe disposal of the effluent
from the drain .

Also check to see that service petcocks, if
present, are in the closed position. (The
handle on eilch valve should be
perpendicular to the rear wall of the unit if
installed in the sidewalls).
10. Remove the hardboard (masonite) shipping
cover from the top of the ex.l-taust filter.
11. Remove the viewscreen shipping clips and
supports and carefully check the viewscreen
for smooth vertical operation.
If
the
viewscreen binds, adjust the track by
loosening the scre\1\'S, arranging the track
in
the proper position, and then re-tightening to
hold the track in the correct position. In
order to be effective, the wiper gasket must
exert a modest amotmt of "drag" on the glass.
If the view screen is loosened, make sure that
the wiper still makes contact. Also remove
the shipping screws and clips from the front
and rear perforated grills.
