3. STARTING OF OPERATION
3.1 Unpacking of the apparatus
Remove the instrument from the transport packing, check the instrument surface and all
the items according to the delivery note. Please contact the manufacturer or your dealer in case of
instrument damage or a missing part.
Notification: Coat the glass joints with silicone vaseline prior to assembly.
3.2 Apparatus assembly
1.
Screw the bar of the cooler's holder into the nut in the head with the rotating housing,
insert the housing with the openings and grooved nuts and the cooler's holder itself.
2.
Insert the pipe into the head with the rotating housing from the side of the heating
bath until the pipe joint snaps behind the ring in the rotating housing. Insert the
arresting rod into the opening in the rotating housing and tighten the nut of the
housing.
3.
There is a fixed housing with a nut on the opposite side of the head with the rotating
housing. Unscrew nut (2), insert on the recessed part of the ball adapter (1) and insert
securing ring (3) until it snaps behind the recessed part of the ball adapter. Check
if Gufero packing (4) coated with silicone vaseline is placed by the open side outside
the recess. Check if flat packing (5) is inserted in the housing and carefully insert
the ball adapter with Gufer and the nut on glass pipe (7). Insert the ball adapter
until the end stop and tighten it carefully with nut (2). The half-ball joint of the ball
adapter points downward.
4.
Rotation blocking knob, which is placed on the rotary casing head, set to the ”Lock” position
(marking by red point) (for easier locking try to turn the casing a little). Insert suck pipe in to the
rotary casing until the sitting touches the plastic collar. Than tighten the nut on the rotating casing.
Finally ”Unlock” the blocking knob (marking by green point).
5.
Coat all the joints on the other glass parts finely with silicone vaseline.
6.
Insert the cooler into the joint in the top part of the ball adapter and also into the
cooler's holder. The top cooler's outlet serves for connecting the subpressure source,
other outlets are for cooling water.
7.
Attach the flask with the ball joint to the ball joint using the fixed clamp and tighten
it.
8.
Insert the round-bottomed flask on the pipe and secure with the flexible clamp.
9.
Insert the inlet pipe with the cock (cock is closed) into the ball adapter.
10.
Connect the bushing.
11.
Pour water into the heating bath; adjust the end stop of the stand for the round-
bottomed flask being immersed in the liquid. The maximum amount of the liquid is
approximately 20 mm below the edge of the heating bath.
Notification: A glass part with a visible crack or another defect must not be used!
