Pro 200 Series
QuickStart Guide
The furnace weighs approximately 50 pounds (25 kg). A four wheeled platform cart is recommended
if the final destination is more than a few feet away. Position the furnace with the Main Power Switch
closest to the front edge of its current surface. Slide one arm just underneath the table lift arm as close
to the chassis as possible. Use your other hand to grasp the back of the chassis just above the
vacuum inlet fitting. Raise the furnace two inches, keeping it over the work surface until your back and
arms confirm you are able to control the furnace without injuring yourself. Move slowly to the final
location and reverse the sequence to place the furnace.
