3.7 Installation of Media in the PORTA-Scrubber

There are several varieties of chemical media. Each media is designed to remove a specific 
contaminant, or group of contaminants. The arrangement of media in the scrubber is significant.
Media bed #1 is located closest to the inlet.  Review the drawing and ensure media is being placed
in the correct bed.

Respirator masks, chosen in accordance with the safety instructions found in the MSDS for the
chemical media, are required to be worn by all personnel during the media installation process, 
as well as all other personal safety equipment listed on the MSDS.

Installing Media by Carton:
Loosen latch and remove top hatch. Gradually pour the media in a controlled manner. Avoid causing
significant impact loading by gradually metering the media into the PORTA-Scrubber. Media should
be filled no higher than 4 inches from the tank lid.

3.8 Latches on Tank Cover

Place the cover on the PORTA-Scrubber tank and latch the cover as shown.

WARNING: All electrical work has the potential to cause shock, 
injury, and even death. Disconnect all power whenever working on 
the system. Only qualified electrical personnel should work on the
system at any time. 

Provide an appropriate power supply as specified in the submittal
information.

CAUTION: Use of the incorrect line voltage may result in irreparable
damage to electrical components.

3.9 Fans

Sometimes the PORTA-Scrubber may be supplied with an externally
mounted blower. See the AAF drawing for information and details.
Blowers can be fitted with an optional power cord with a 115-volt plug.

CAUTION: All electrical work must be carried out in accordance with
all appropriate governing electrical codes and standards.
