Attach an extension module(s) using a fork lift or hoist on the top of the base module as follows: NOTE: Extension module is not used for the 1000 L - Attach the two lifting plates to the top of the extension module by dropping one end over a position pin and aligning the other side with a bolt into the hole.
Fasten the other hole on the bracket feet using a bolt with nut and washer (Figure 11). This is installed in the same manner as the lifting plate mentioned above. Figure 11 Bracket frame secured. Note: Crossbar will not be attached at this step yet. www.pall.com/biopharm...

The cross frame arms should be adjusted so they are 15 – 20 mm from the tote inner corners (Figure 16). Figure 16 Knob turned to extend crossframe arm 8. Using the friction wheel, raise the crossbar inside the tote to prepare for biocontainer installation (Figure 17). Figure 17 Operator raising crossframe www.pall.com/biopharm...
9. Prior to Allegro biocontainer installation, the lift pin needs to be released to unlock the port plate clamp (Figure 18). Figure 18 Lifting pin being released 10. The swivel locking plate is used to secure and unsecure the ports of the Allegro biocontainer and needs to be opened to install the Allegro biocontainer.
Once the biocontainer is secured into the base of the tote and aligned with four hoist connection perform the following: 1. Check that the outlet lines are closed 2.

Warning: Do not open the doors during filling operation. Note: Allegro 1000 L 3D biocontainers can be filled from either the top or bottom ports. The 2000 L and 3000 L can only be filled from the bottom ports. The biocontainer will naturally move during filling.
Problem: Excessive creasing and folds are observed during filling of the biocontainer and excessive pressure observed on the friction wheel. Cause: The selected biocontainer may have been installed backwards with the label not above the center port. Solution: The biocontainer will have to be drained and repositioned. www.pall.com/biopharm...
