Place the FLS-1000 so that the chamber lid handle is located either on the front right side or

the front left side of the unit. Choose either side and install the unit.

Install the FLS-1000 providing a clearance of at least 25cm at the rear and on each side of the

unit. Maintain sufficient space for access in front and above the unit.

②

Turn the level adjustment bolt located on either side of the lid-lock releasing pedal clockwise

by hand until the rotation becomes difficult. Turn it an additional 90°(1/4 turn) with a

spanner (19mm width) to fix it on the floor. Inspect for any possible shake or wobble by

pushing the unit from all four corners.

③

The control panel can be moved either in the right or left direction so that it faces the front,

allowing users easy access to the control panel. Hold the control panel with both hands and

move it slowly.

④

Fix the clear plastic accessory case for storing the Operator’s Manual to the outer panel of

the unit with the mounting screws provided with the case. Screw holes are provided in two

adjacent panels on the chamber lid handle side.

※

After reading the Operator’s Manual, store it in the clear plastic accessory case for future reference.

⑤

The unit goes down.

The unit goes up.
