WARNING
To avoid muscle strain or back injury, use lifting aids and proper lifting techniques when
removing or replacing.
DO NOT install the BLADE instrument inside of a fume hood.
Hardware Setup

WARNING
The exhaust hose must be connected and draw at least 125 CFM at the point of connection
at all times as it is essential for removing harmful vapors away from the instrument. Vapors
should be vented into a fume hood by means of the exhaust hose only.

1.2. Place the hose clamp onto the exhaust port located at the top of the BLADE.
1.3. Connect one end of the hose to the exhaust port.
1.4. Press the exhaust hose all the way down onto the port and then use the hose clamp to tighten the
hose onto the exhaust port.
1.5. Connect the opposite end of the exhaust hose to a fume hood that pulls a minimum of 125 CFM at
point of connection using the provided clamp if necessary.
1.6. In the rare event of condensation forming in the exhaust, a drain line can be connected by using user
supplied parts.
