Preparing the Biosafety Cabinet for Operation
Installation instructions for the cabinet (Labconco P/N 1056801) are attached
to the sash of the Biosafety Cabinet. If these instructions are missing or
unclear, contact Product Service at 800-821-5525 or 816-333-8811.
Installing the Biosafety Cabinet on an Existing
Work Surface
Note: The Biosafety Cabinet is very top heavy. Use caution when lifting or
moving it.
When installing the Biosafety Cabinet onto an existing work surface or
benchtop, ensure that the structure can safely support the combined weight of
the cabinet and any related equipment. The work surface should be at least as
wide as the Cabinet and 31 inches (787 mm) deep to properly support the unit.
A hole or notch may be cut in the supporting surface in the right front corner
to accommodate the optional drain valve.
Installing the Cabinet on a Labconco Base Stand
Labconco offers accessory Base Stands in a variety of configurations to suit
the particular needs. Please note that B2 cabinets are connected to exhaust
duct and are generally not placed on mobile stands.
Telescoping Base Stands
Adjust the leg height before installing the cabinet on top of the stand. The
height can be set in 1-inch intervals between 27.5 to 34.5 inches (699 to
876 mm), providing a cabinet work surface height from 30.0 to 37.0 inches
(762 to 940 mm). The Base Stands for each width cabinet are listed in Table
3-1 below.

1. Before positioning the Telescoping Base Stand in its final location, adjust
the height. A plastic bag containing the mounting bolts for the Biosafety
Cabinet is shipped with the base stand. Remove and save it.
