Using the Divider

Panels

General

Two removable divider panels are supplied with the unit: a wire grill
divider, and a clear acrylic divider. Only one can be installed at a
time. A divider panel splits the animal compartment into two half-
compartments (refer to Pages 10 and 11). The two compartments
have individually-controlled heated floors, however, they share the
same oxygen supply, heating and cooling.

The only purpose of the clear acrylic divider is to reduce the size of
the compartment to minimize oxygen usage when treating smaller
animals. Always use the wire grill divider if animals are
present in both compartments.

WARNING: Never place an animal in the left
compartment if the clear acrylic divider is being used.
This divider creates an effective seal, and prevents
the flow of air into the left compartment. If this divider
is in place, an animal in this compartment can easily
suffocate.

Installation

To install a divider panel:

1.

Open both doors.

2.

Remove the PVC floor (if installed) in the right
compartment.

Note: Notice the guide channels for the divider panels in the rear
wall and ceiling of the animal compartment (Figure 52).
