It is important to thoroughly review this
manual and test your new duplicator prior
to loading with duplicating material.
I. Receiving & Unpacking
We have made every effort to test your
equipment and inspect it for damages prior
to packing for shipment. However, once the
equipment leaves our factory, the shipping
company accepts the equipment and the
responsibility becomes theirs for its safe and
undamaged delivery.
When you unpack your shipment, keep all
the packing materials until you are confident
that the equipment is in good working
condition and functions properly. If there
is any concealed damage, the shipping
company may need to examine the container
when a claim is filed.
If there is damage, the carrier should be
contacted as soon as possible. The claim
for damages must be filed with the carrier.
We are not in a position to assist you with
replacement, repair or warranty issues until
the carrier has completed their investigation.
If no damage has been found, place the
duplicator on a level bench where it will be
used. It is best to locate the unit adjacent
to the area where the duplicate models
will be cooled. Do not block the exhaust fan.
II. Electrical Connection
The Colloid-Saver 3.5 duplicator requires
only a standard 115V–60 Hz outlet to
operate. Before plugging-in the duplicator,
be sure to identify the electrical specifica-
tions of the outlet. A dedicated circuit
should be used as the Colloid-Saver 3.5
duplicator draws about 12 amps at 115 volts.
As with any electrical device, take extra care
when handling liquids around electrical
connections to avoid accidental shock.
It is important to carefully read and follow
the instructions in the next section
prior to actually plugging-in the duplicator.
III. Testing & Inspection
This is a very important step in the installa-
tion of your new Colloid-Saver 3.5 duplicator.
Even though your unit was fully tested and
inspected before leaving our factory, it may
have suffered damage during transit. For this
reason the following testing and inspection
steps are very important.
Note: The parts list located in the back of this
manual will help in the proper identification of the
items described below.
1. DO NOT insert the power cord.
Remove the rear panel and inspect
internal components visually. Look for
loose connections and parts.
2. Replace rear panel after inspection.
3. Remove the top cover by rotating it
clockwise and check inside the tank to
be sure there are no interferences with
the stirrer. Make sure stirrer knob is tight.
4. Replace top cover and rotate it
counter-clockwise to engage it with the
locking pins in the tank. Make sure cover
handle is facing forward.
5. Check to be sure the duplicator’s
identification plate voltage agrees with
the electrical voltage of the outlet. If unsure,
test voltage or contact a qualified electrician.
If these two items are compatible, plug
duplicator into the electrical outlet.
Note: The Colloid-Saver 3.5 duplicator (115V)
draws about 12 amps and should be on its own
dedicated circuit.
