2. Find the hardware (lag screws, etc.) 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
operating 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 or chains using the threaded
connectors 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 XStream 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 Protector XStream with
Eco-Foil performs best with a work surface having a large 1.0" leading radius to
promote aerodynamic airflow at low velocities. The high performance XStream
work surface should have a 36" deep dimension. 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: 1). Support the rear of the
work surface and fume hood. 2). The cross support provides
support for the bottom of the work surface. 3). Install the
cross support after the base cabinets and work surface are
leveled and before installing the hood.
