4.1 Positioning the Fermentor
Carefully transport the fermentor/bioreactor to the exact position in which
it will be operated. Set the console on a sturdy, level surface. Ensure that
there is enough space around the back and the front of the BioFlo 4500 for
proper operation and maintenance and that the surface can handle the
weight of the unit, including vessel contents and any auxiliary equipment.
The unit is shipped with the vessel attached and secured with three bolts
that are accessible only from beneath the console platform. If you wish to
remove the vessel from the console, these bolts should be removed before
setting the console in place.
The console must be level for proper operation. Level the console by
adjusting the height of each of the five feet on the bottom with a wrench
until the console is level.
