Step 3. Remove four front panel binder head screws; do not withdraw instrument
from cabinet, and be careful to ensure it does not inadvertently roll out on its
tracks as the cabinet is not heavy enough to counter-balance the weight of the
chassis when fully extended.
Step 4. Remove three screws to the left of the bottle holder.
Step 5. Carefully swing open the front panel.
Step 6. Observe that the tank impeller operates, as seen through the lower right hand
corner of the tank window or by the rotation of O-ring belt driven pulley on
top of the tank.
Step 7. Check that all internal tubing connections are secure.
Step 8. Close and secure front panel, using oval Phillips head screws and binder head
screws.
Step 9. Switch power off and disconnect line cord from AC supply.
5.2.2. TEMPERATURE BATH FILLING
There are two convenient methods of filling the temperature bath:
(a) by connecting tank fill tube to water tap using suitable hose adapter.
or if not within reach of water tap,
(b) by siphoning water into tank through a hose from a container higher than the bath.
NOTE: Filling the bath with water at or near room temperature reduces
tank temperature stabilization time.
To reduce the likelihood of algae growth in the bath, use distilled water or add an algae
inhibiter to the water. Care should be taken to ensure that any additives do not have
corrosive properties.
5.2.2.1.HOSE METHOD
Step 1. Connect two suitable lengths of 9.4 mm (.37 in) ID plastic tubing to
TANK DRAIN/FILL and TANK OVERFLOW spigots.
Step 2. Connect a funnel to the end of the TANK DRAIN/FILL tube. Elevate
the funnel approximately 1 metre (39 in.). Open the TANK DRAIN
valve (fully counterclockwise) and pour the algae inhibitor solution
into the funnel.
