FUNCTIONS AND HANDLING
42. Protective enclosure
The protective enclosure (1) is an extra safety
feature for the operator. Its large pane of a
special safety glass guarantees a clear view of
the rotating flask. A handle (2) on the front is
used for closing and opening. In both extreme
positions, it is held by a pneumatic strut.
Caution : Flask will not rotate unless the hood is
closed. Opening the enclosure during operation
will stop rotation.
Safety Cover LED (6) illuminates.
After closing the enclosure, rotation is restarted
by the
Start Stop key.

44. Tightening of Evaporator Flask
Evaporator Flask must be sufficiently tightened with large coupling ring (X).
For this purpose the large coupling ring (X) is equipped with a torque indicator. As illustrated below
the coupling ring has to be tightened unti
l the indicator point (Y) is aligned with point „1“ (Z). This is
accompanied by a „click“. For distillation without vacuum the ring has to be tightened until point (Y)
is aligned with point „2“ (A).
If rule is not followed leakage can occur during operation.
