NOTE:
It is good practice to lightly lubricate the underside of the headplate with
silicone before installing it on the vessel.
4.8.21
Install 1.3L, 3.0L or 7.5L Fermentation Vessel Baffle
1.
Gently place the baffle, tab facing up, around all of the other instruments
protruding from the headplate, including the cooling coil.
2.
Position the tab between the two uprights of the cooling coil.
Hold the baffle in place with two fingers when you lift the headplate assembly.
4.8.22 Install
Headplate
1.
Orient the cooling coil uprights toward the back, opposite the gradations
marked on the vessel glass. If this is a 1.3L, 3.0L or 7.5L fermentation
vessel, squeeze and hold the baffle in place (opening toward the back) with
thumb and forefinger. You may find it convenient to squeeze the tab with
your thumb.
2.
Carefully lower the headplate, easing all of its attachments into the vessel
without hitting the glass (or the baffle inside, if this is a 14.0L fermentation
vessel).

NOTE:
If you are using a baffle, after installing the headplate, insert any
convenient length of wood, plastic or stainless steel (do not use any other
kind of metal) through an unused port to push the baffle down as far as it
will go.
The baffle is stainless steel; repeated installations may cause it to retain a
compressed position. Expand it before you squeeze it for installation, so
it will spring back against the vessel walls.
3.
Align the headplate holes with the vessel stand pillars, then slide it down
until it rests securely against the vessel flange.
4.
Finger tighten each clamping nut a little at a time to secure the headplate
on the vessel stand, working diagonally from one to another (rather than
working around the circle) to apply equal pressure.
