2. Find the hardware (bolts, washers, nuts) that attach the fume hood to
the skid and remove the hardware. Some hardware is on the sides and
some is on the back.
Sash Weight Release
To protect the fume hood from damage in shipment, the sash weight has been
secured to the back of the fume hood with four (4) screws. Simply remove the
screws and make sure the sash cables are on their respective pulleys before
operation of the sash or damage could occur to the sash cable.
NOTE: THE SASH WEIGHT ITSELF WAS INDIVIDUALLY
MATCHED FOR THIS SPECIFIC HOOD AND SHOULD NOT BE
EXCHANGED ON ANY OTHER UNIT.
Install the Protector XLE Hood on a
Supporting Structure and Work Surface
The Protector Hood is heavy! Use caution when lifting or
moving the unit.
When installing the Protector Fume Hood onto a chemically-resistant work
surface or benchtop, ensure that the structure can safely support the combined
weight of the fume hood and any related equipment. The work surface should be
at least as wide as the hood to properly support it. The work surface is aligned
flush with the back of the fume hood for good airflow: this will provide the
correct spacing under the air foil for proper bypass airflow. The front edge
of the trough assembly under the air foil should be located flush with front of
the supporting base cabinet or stand.
WARNING: It is important to support the rear of the work
surface and fume hood. The cross support provides support
for the bottom of the work surface. Install the cross support
after the base cabinets and work surface are leveled and before
installing the hood.
The following are instructions for mounting a cross support:
1. Level the base cabinets and the work surface. Work surface should be
placed flush with the back of the fume hood as shown in Figure 3-1.
2. Scribe a line on the wall or back of the base cabinet to locate the
support under the work surface.
3. Mount the support by attaching it to the wall or base cabinet.
4. Place the hood on top of the work surface and cross support.
