ASSEMBLY: See Parts Location Diagram for additional information.
 Remove the unit from the shipping containers and inspect for damage. If damage is detected, save all packaging
and immediately report any exterior or interior damage to the freight carrier.
 Remove all accessories from the inside of the Still (and the JetVac’s cabinet, if applicable).
 Install the pressure relief valve assembly into the top of the Still’s lid. Face the elbow towards the rear of the unit
(away from the occupied area).
 Attach the supplied grounding cables/clamps to the ground block on the right side of the Still.
 Thread the discharge hose into the discharge pipe on the right side of the Still. Omit this step if installing a JetVac
(see below).
SPECIAL ASSEMBLY FOR LS-15IIE AND LS-55IIE: “System II” Stills have additional features for
automatic operation. Explanations of these features are discussed in the Instrumentation and Controls section.
 Install the vapor temperature gage into the control panel on the front of the Still (this gage is a delicate instrument
and is packed separately to prevent damage). Attach the white wire to the positive (+) terminal and the red wire to
the negative (-) terminal. Mount the gage using the two nuts provided.
