Unpacking
Use caution when unpacking the digestor and accessories to avoid damage. The exhaust
housing and manifold are shipped in the same carton. Remove items from the carton and inspect
for any damage. Inspect all packing material to insure that no accessories or small parts are
discarded by accident. If damage from shipping has occurred, the customer must file a claim
with the carrier IMMEDIATELY! Do not return any item to Labconco Corporation without
written authorization from the factory. Your local laboratory apparatus dealer can assist you and
should be contacted if problems occur.
Installation and Assembly (refer to detail drawings located on page 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11)
Install eductor by one of the methods described in the detailed drawing. The eductor
assembly as provided is for connection to a regular laboratory gooseneck faucet – (method 1).
Model #23540, fume removal system for Rapid Digestor 4 place, is not provided with the Water
Jet Eductor. Any non-metallic water aspirator pump such as Nalgene® 6140 or equivalent is
suitable for use with the 4-place fume removal system. It is recommended that eductor and drain
be located in a fume hood to remove the small amount of gases that do not dissolve in the water
stream. It is also recommended that the digestor and fume removal system be located in a fume
hood to prevent accumulation of fumes in the laboratory during observation and dilution of the
digested samples. Assemble glass manifold sections as shown in detailed drawing. Model
#23540 comes completely assembled. Align manifold pipes into manifold by placing glass
manifold assembly on flat surface. Adjust each manifold pipe section to assure a snug fit into the
ground glass taper joint. Place stainless steel retainer clip around glass taper joints as shown in
detail drawing. Insert assembled glass manifold into manifold housing. Attach rear brackets into
place with screws that are provided. Glass manifold should be free to move slightly in housing
to prevent any stresses. Refer to detailed drawing located on 9, 10, and 11.
Connect manifold assembly to the water aspirator with the high temperature acid resistant
hose provided. Expansion of the acid resistant hose may be necessary to facilitate installation of
the hose to the glass manifold hose connection. The exhaust system is now ready for operation.
