Installation Instructions

Your hood is transported fully assembled and operational . It can be set up on a desk or table, plugged into an 

outlet and will be ready to be certified . However, if you are also receiving a stand for the hood, some assembly 

may be required . Set height stands for our 3, 4 and 6 foot models will need to be assembled . Any 8 foot stand is 

shipped fully assembled, with the components welded together to support the weight of the hood . If the stand 

has an electric or manual lift system, it will arrive fully assembled for all stand lengths . The stand and the hood 

may be shipped separately depending on the length .

The instructions below relate to the assembly of the stand and the placement of the hood on top .

Stand Assembly

There are 5 components to the broken down stand: the top of the stand, two pre-assembled side pieces and the 

two rear supporting braces .  The pieces are connected by tightening set screws in fittings . The assembly starts 

with inverting the top of the stand on the ground .

Next, the two side pieces that are already assembled (Blue) should be connected with the rear supporting 

braces (Red) . The supporting braces are inserted into the fittings on the side pieces and the set screws can be 

tightened . There will be 4 set screws to tighten during this step .
