Labconco Protector 3944300 User Manual page 11

Do not discard the packing material until you have checked all of the
components and tested the unit.
We recommend that you do not remove the hood from its shipping
container until it is ready to be placed into its final location. Move the unit
by placing a flat, low dolly under the shipping skid, or by using a floor jack.
Do not move the hood by tilting it onto a hand truck.
Installing the Hood on a Supporting
Structure and Work Surface
When installing the hood onto a chemically resistant work surface or
benchtop, ensure that the structure can safely support the combined
weight of the hood and any related equipment. The work surface should
be at least as wide as the hood to properly support it. The front of the
hood should be aligned within 1/8" of the front of the work surface.
Mounting holes are provided in Labconco accessory work surfaces to
secure the hood. The mobile Demonstration Hood features a work
surface attached to the cart.
Work Surface Specifications
The work surface should be smooth, rigid, and durable, such as a
chemically resistant epoxy resin. The surface should be non-porous and
resistant to the acids, solvents and chemicals used in conjunction with the
Protector Demonstration Hood. The work surface should also contain a
dished recessed area for containing primary spills.
Work Surface and Hood Installation
1. Level the base cabinets and the work surface. Work surface
should be placed flush with the front of the base cabinet as shown
in Figure 3-1.
2. Position the work surface in its intended location and with the front
of the work surface (wide flange) towards you.
3. Secure the work surface to the base cabinet with a structural
adhesive or silicone sealant.
4. Insert the supplied mounting screws in the four holes. Allow a
minimum of 1/8" clearance under the head of the screw for
positioning the enclosure.
5. Place the hood on the work surface and slide the rear flange and
front air foil flanges under the mounting screw heads.
6. Tighten the four screws to complete the installation.
