Product Service 1-800-522-7658 11
Original instructions
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
To protect the fume hood from damage in shipment, the sash weight has been
secured to the back of the fume hood with screws. Simply remove the screws and
make sure the sash cables or chains are on the pulleys or sprockets before
operation of the sash. On models with more than one sash, the sash weights have
been secured to the shipping skid with lag screws. 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.
Installing the Hood on a Supporting
Structure and Work Surface
The Protector Hood is heavy! Use caution when lifting or
moving the unit.
La Hotte Protecteur est lourd ! Prudence en soulevant ou en
déplaçant l'objet.
When installing the Protector Fume Hood onto a chemically-resistant work surface
or benchtop, ensure that the structure can safely support the combined weight of the
fume hood and any related equipment. The work surface should be at least as wide
as the hood to properly support it. The work surface is aligned flush with the back
of the fume hood for good airflow: this will provide the correct spacing under
the air foil for proper bypass airflow. The lower base cabinets are placed flush
with the front of the work surface as shown in Figure 3-1.
WARNING: It is important to support the rear of the work
surface and fume hood. The cross support provides support
for the bottom of the work surface. Install the cross support
after the base cabinets and work surface are leveled and before
installing the hood.
AVERTISSEMENT : Il est important de soutenir l'arrière de
la surface de travail et la hotte aspirante. Le support
tranversal soutient le bas de la surface de travail. Installer le
support transversal après que les meubles et la surface de
travail soient nivelés et avant d'installer la hotte.
