Original instructions
The following are instructions for mounting a cross support:
1. Level the base cabinets and the hardboard work top. Work top should
be placed flush with the back of the fume hood as shown in Figure 3-1.
2. Scribe a line on the wall or back of the base cabinet to locate the
support under the work surface.
3. Mount the support by attaching it to the wall or base cabinet.
4. Anchor cabinet(s) with seismic restraints if required by the local code
in your area.
Figure 3-1
5. Secure the hardboard surface to the top of the base cabinet(s) using
adhesives with the Storage Cabinet(s). Be sure the Radioisotope Hood
drain trough is accounted for in the relief area of the hardboard top.
See figure 3-2.
6. After completing step 5, apply a sufficient quantity of adhesive to the
top surface of the hardboard.
7. Place the hood on top of the work surface and cross support.
8. Place heavy weights on the inside of the fume hood for approximately
24 hours. This provides a proper bond of the adhesive. Protect the
hood’s integral work surface from possible damage by wrapping any
weighted material first.
9. Place the hood on top of the work top and cross support.
