Chapter 3: Getting Started
After you verify the fume hood components, move your hood to
the location where you want to install it. Then, follow the steps
listed next to remove the shipping skid from your unit.
1. Remove the side panels by unscrewing the Phillips
screws.
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 the pulleys before operating the sash. On models with more

skid with lag screws. Remove the weights from the skid and attach
them to the respective sash cables using the hooks provided.
NOTE: THE SASH WEIGHT ITSELF WAS
INDIVIDUALLY MATCHED FOR THIS
SPECIFIC HOOD AND SHOULD NOT BE
EXCHANGED ON ANY OTHER UNIT.
