Unpacking / Inspection
Visually check for any physical damage to the shipping container and carefully inspect the
equipment area adjacent to any damaged packing.
Check there are no missing items from the delivery note. Inform supplier immediately of
any missing items or damage. Retain all packing material in case of damage for
inspection by Insurance assessor.
Furnace Assembly
970-1 furnace using separate internal work tube.
Unpack and insert tube carefully into centre of the main furnace tube, cleaning to remove
any packing material or dust. Ensure main furnace work tube has no packing material
particles, removing and cleaning inside of tube.
Using assembly instructions, position the 10mm. furnace end insulation plate into the
metal end plate with 4 holes. Using the bolts/washers provided, attach furnace end plates
to end of furnace over the protruding separate work tube from furnace end. The metal
end plate/cap must be external to the furnace end. (Furnace end insulating plate is next to
the main furnace end with a 10mm. gap). Repeat for the opposite end of furnace, so that
the separate work tube sits in the centre of furnace, supported by the insulated end plates
and metal end caps.
NOTE : A large plain metal washer is placed on end of the 4 bolt threads (next to insulated
end plate) before offering and fixing the end plate assembly to the 4 tapped holes on the
furnace ends.
Assemble the furnace control and electrical system unit to the tubular furnace, connecting
the 2 flexible cable covers with the furnace thermocouple leads and heater supply cables
to the control unit rear panel entrance glands.
