Packaging
To unpack the wooden crate, undo the lid retaining
screws and remove the lid. Undo the screws from the
base of the timber sleeve and carefully lift the sleeve
clear of the evaporator.
Lifting
Make sure enough people are present to share the
lifting safely. Carefully lift the EZ-2 Elite slightly at first
to feel the weight and to find the centre of gravity.
When ready, manually lift the EZ-2 Elite into position
using the handholds in the base. Alternatively, use
mechanical lifting equipment such as a lifting table or
forklift.

The vacuum pump is connected to the evaporator by
a vacuum hose and electrical control cable which are
approximately three metres in length.
The waste solvent container must be positioned to
allow unimpeded drainage of solvent from the
evaporator and must be easily accessible for
emptying. Once a suitable location has been
decided, the drain hose can be cut to length.
There must also be provision to connect the exhaust
(PTFE: 8 mm OD, 6 mm ID) to a suitable laboratory
fume extraction system and to connect two power
cables to mains power outlets.
Note: The EZ-2 Elite may be placed in a fume
cupboard. To maintain a vapour free environment
around the EZ-2 Elite, do not store vessels
containing solvents or acids within the fume
cupboard.
Genevac recommend that evaporators equipped with
inert gas purge, are installed by an authorised
Genevac representative.
