Original instructions
After you verify the filtered fume hood components, move your hood to the
location where you want to install it. Then, follow the steps listed next to remove
the separate shipping skids from the lower base and upper cabinet.
1. Remove the side panels by unscrewing the Phillips screws.
2. Find the hardware (bolts, washers, nuts) that attach the filtered fume
hood to the skid and remove the hardware. Some hardware is on the
sides and some is on the back.
Sash Weight Release
On Filtered Floor-Mounted Hood models with vertical-rising sashes, the sash
weights have been secured to the shipping skid. Remove the weights from the
skid and attach them to the respective sash cables using the hooks provided.
NOTE : THE SASH WEIGHT ITSELF WAS INDIVIDUALLY
MATCHED FOR THIS SPECIFIC FILTERED HOOD AND
SHOULD NOT BE EXCHANGED ON ANY OTHER UNIT.
Disassembly and Reassembly of the
Protector Echo Floor-Mounted Filtered
Hood
There may be some disassembly and reassembly work, due to the large physical
size of your filtered hood and the ability to maneuver it into your laboratory. This
is specific to each customer.
Lower Base Installation of the Protector
Echo Floor-Mounted Filtered Hood
The lower base features a panelized liner surrounded by an epoxy-coated steel and
galvanized steel framework. Both the left and right side panels should be
removed to allow for the correct placement of the lower cabinet assembly.
Temporarily remove both vertical-rising sashes shipped with the lower base (on
vertical-rising sash models only). Position the lower base on a level floor surface.
Place the vertical-rising sashes back in place (on vertical-rising sash models only).
NOTE: If an optional floor surface is purchased, it should be positioned on the
existing floor prior to placement of the lower cabinet installation. See Figure J-1.
