CHAPTER 3
GETTING STARTED
Now that the site for your laboratory fume hood is properly prepared, you are
ready to unpack, inspect, install, and certify your unit. Read this chapter to learn
how to:
Unpack and move your Protector Hood.
Set up the fume hood with the supporting structure and work surface.
Connect to an exhaust system.
Connect the electrical supply source.
Connect the service lines.
Sealing the Protector Hood to the work surface.
Arrange certification of your Protector Hood.
Depending upon which model you are installing, you may need common
plumbing and electrical installation tools in addition to 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", and
1/2" wrenches, ratchets, sockets, a nut driver set, a flat-blade screwdriver, a
Phillips screwdriver, and a carpenter level to complete the instructions in the
chapter.
The Protector Premier Hood models weigh between 400 to 800
lbs. (182-363 kg). The shipping skid allows for lifting with a
mechanical lift truck or floor jack. If you must lift the fume
hood manually, follow safe-lifting guidelines. Normally, the
fume hood can be slid off a hydraulic lift table and be placed
into position on top of the work surface. Do not lift by the
front air foil.
Les premiers modèles de la Hotte Protecteur pèsent entre 400 à
800 livres. (182-363 Kg). La palette bois d’envoi permet le
soulèvement par un camion muni d’un élévateur mécanique ou
par un cric rouleur. Si vous devez soulever manuellement la
hotte aspirante, respectez les règles de sécurité du soulèvement.
Normalement, la hotte aspirante peut être glissée d'une table
munie d’un élévateur hydraulique et être placée en position sur
la surface de travail. Ne pas soulever par l’écoulement d'air du
devant.
