5. Insert the hex socket head screws as the four holes are located. Do not
tighten the screws.
6. Remove the 1/4-20 alignment pins and replace them with the
remaining two hex socket screws.
7. Seat all screws very tightly, using the T-handle wrench. If a torque
wrench is available, tighten these screws at 120 in./lbs. Check these
screws monthly if the unit is operated at or near maximum RPM.
Caution Use only the included hex socket screws and T-handle wrench to
fasten the platform. If a torque wrench is available, torque the screws to
120 in./lbs. The platform screws should be checked monthly if the unit is
operated at or near maximum RPM. s
Assemble the Flask
Clips
Each Flask Clip, up to 1 liter in size, is supplied with a metal spring that
must be installed onto the clip. Two-liter flask clips are supplied with two
springs.
For flask clips through 500 ml, insert the end of each spring into the holes
on the top of the clip leg as shown in Figure 1-11. One liter and larger
flask clips require the spring ends to be hooked together as shown in
Figure 1-12.
The spring ends on the two-liter flask clip are also hooked together, but
require the rubber spring tubes to be installed between the clip legs (Figure
1-11). The second spring and spring tubes are placed around the base of
the clip after it has been installed onto the platform.
