5.1
Installation of Platform
A platform is required for operation. To install a platform on the unit, do the following:
NOTE:
There are two small plastic straps holding the bearing housing in place
during shipping. These straps must be removed from the unit.
1. Using the 5/32 inch hex wrench provided, remove the four Allen head platform
screws from the
UPPER BEARING HOUSING
.
2. Place the platform on the
UPPER BEARING HOUSING
. Align the mounting holes of
the platform with the platform screw locations in the
UPPER BEARING HOUSING
.
3. Insert the platform screws and tighten them down with the 5/32 inch hex wrench to
secure the platform.
5.2 Installing Flask Clamps
Flask clamps purchased for use with universal platforms (
see Section 10.2
) require
installation. Clamps are installed by securing the base of the clamp to the platform with
the correct type and number of screws. All clamps are shipped complete with hardware.
Clamps for 2-, 2.8- and 4-liter flasks are shipped with an additional girdle to keep the
flasks in place. The girdle is an assembly of springs and sections of rubber tubing. One
girdle is already in place on the clamp, the other is packed separately. To install these
double girdle clamps:
1. Place the clamp on the platform, aligning its mounting holes with holes on the
platform. Secure the clamp in place using the flat Phillips head screws provided
(#S2116-3051, 10-24 x 5/16-inch).
Use
Figure 2b on the following page to help you
identify the proper screws, as three different types of screws are shipped with the
clamps
.
2. With the first girdle in place, as delivered, on the upper part of the clamp body (
see
Figure 2a on the following page
), insert an empty flask into the clamp.
3. After making sure the sections of tubing are located between the clamp legs, roll the
first girdle down the legs of the clamp as far as it can go. The tubing sections will
rest against the platform, and the springs will be under the clamp base.
