7) Install the baffle and baffle adapter

Unscrew nut and be careful not to lose the 2 ferrules underneath.

Place the round end of the baffle in the bottom of the baffle adapter.

Place the PTFE ferrule (white) flat end up down the shaft of the baffle.

Place the Nylon ferrule (clear) with the flat end down, down the end of the baffle shaft.

Place nut down the baffle shaft and screw loosely.

Place baffle and adapter in a straight port on the reaction lid.

Adjust to desired height in vessel and tighten nut.

(MAKE SURE BAFFLE DOES NOT TOUCH IMPELLER)

8) Mount the stirrer motor and stirrer rod coupling

Make sure the center of the locking handle on the top adjusting plate is facing toward the back
of the unit.

The top motor adjusting plate on the stand should be as high as possible, make sure both knobs
are tight.

Place stirrer rod in the hole and roughly adjust it to be lined up with the stirrer shaft. (There
should be about 3 to 4 inches between the stirrer shaft and glass stirrer rod).

9) Motor, coupling and stirrer rod assembly

Place the assembled stirrer coupling on the stir shaft and tighten the Allen screw.

Carefully lower the top of the motor support down to the coupling and stop. Make sure that
everything is lined up!

Lower the motor down so the shaft goes into the coupling about 3/4 of the way and tighten the
motor support bracket.

Lift coupling with stirrer rod attached the rest of the way up. (This is to make sure the lower
impeller is not rubbing against the bottom of the reaction vessel.)

Tighten the Chuck on the Stirrer motor.
