Original instructions
After you verify the fume hood components, move your hood to the location
where you want to install it. Then, follow the steps listed next to remove the
separate shipping skids from the lower base and upper cabinet.
1.
Remove the side panels by unscrewing the Phillips screws.
2.
Find the hardware (bolts, washers, nuts) that attach the fume hood to
the skid and remove the hardware. Some hardware is on the sides and
some is on the back.
Sash Weight Release
On Floor-Mounted Hood models with vertical-rising sashes, the sash weights
have been secured to the shipping skid. Remove the weights from the skid and
attach them to the respective sash cables using the hooks provided.
NOTE
: THE SASH WEIGHT ITSELF WAS INDIVIDUALLY
MATCHED FOR THIS SPECIFIC HOOD AND SHOULD NOT
BE EXCHANGED ON ANY OTHER UNIT.
Disassembly and Reassembly of the
Protector XL Floor-Mounted Hood
There may be some disassembly and reassembly work, due to the large physical
size of your laboratory hood and the ability to maneuver it into your laboratory.
This is specific to each customer.
Lower Base Installation of the Protector
XL Floor-Mounted Hood
The lower base features a panelized liner surrounded by an epoxy-coated steel and
galvanized steel framework. Both the left and right side panels should be
removed to allow for the correct placement of the lower cabinet assembly.
Temporarily remove both vertical-rising sashes shipped with the lower base (on
vertical-rising sash models only). Position the lower base on a level floor surface.
Place the vertical-rising sashes back in place (on vertical-rising sash models only).
NOTE:
If an optional floor surface is purchased, it should be positioned on the
existing floor prior to placement of the lower cabinet installation. See Figure 3-1.
