To do so, proceed as follows:

Remove all vessels located in stations 1 - 24
so that the vessel holder frames can be used
to support the box level for measuring pur-
poses.

All four instrument feet (37) are height-ad-
justable.
To adjust, place single head wrench, size 13
(standard delivery) onto hexagon bolt (36)
and adjust each foot as needed.

Make sure, all four instrument feet
are firmly set on the bench surface
once the instrument adjustment has
been completed.

Bring the instrument to
an exact horizontal posi-
tion by screwing the ad-
justable feet in / out as
needed.

For leveling, position box
level (38) alternately in posi-
tions (A and B) - see

Fig. 22

on the vessel holder frame.

Screw the instrument feet in-
ward / outward as needed,
gradually bringing the instru-
ment into a horizontal posi-
tion. Start with the instrument
foot located opposite the
highest point of the labora-
tory bench.

Finally, place the box level in
positions (C und D) to double-
check whether the instru-
ment is in fact in a horizontal
position.
