Open the reaction chamber lid and remove the dessicant pack
from the chamber. Pour 50ml of water into the reaction chamber
and use it as a fluid level. When the instrument is level, the water
settles evenly at the bottom of the chamber.
If necessary, adjust the front castors. Loosen the locknut
(a wrench is provided), then turn the castor with the adjustment
rod provided.
When the instrument is level, tighten the locknut.
Mop up the water and dry the reaction chamber.
