Step 2. Placing the GC system on the benchtop
Step 2. Placing the GC system on the benchtop
The GC requires a benchtop that can support its weight plus that of other
equipment you will use with it. Table 1 on page 7 lists some typical weight data.
The area must be free of overhanging obstructions that might interfere with
cooling and limit access to the top of the instrument.
WARNING Be careful when lifting the GC. Because it is heavy, two people should lift it.
When moving the GC, be aware that the back is heavier than the front.
Materials needed:
❐ Oven exhaust deflector, part no. 19247-60510 (optional)
1. Remove the GC from its shipping box.
2. Place the GC on the benchtop. Make sure gas and power supplies are
accessible. Place other pieces of equipment near the GC as appropriate. See
Table 1 on page 7 for suggested benchtop layouts.
3. If space is limited, attach the oven exhaust deflector to the back of the GC
as shown below. The deflector hangs from the exhaust vents on four hooks.
