10 Chapter 3: Getting Started Unp acking the Enclosure Carefully remove the shrink-wrap or carton on the enclosure and inspect it for damage that may have occurred in transit. If damaged, notify the delivery carrier imm ediately and retain the entire shipment intact for inspection by the carrier.
11 Cha p ter 3: Gettin g Starte d 0.36" of the front of the work surface. Mounting holes are provided in the Labconco accessory work surfaces to secure the enclosure. Work Surface Specifications The work surface should be smooth, rigid, and durable, such as a chemical-resistant epoxy resin.
12 Chapter 3: Getting Started Figure 3-1 Filtered Enclosure Installation.
13 Cha p ter 3: Gettin g Starte d Connecting to the Exhaust System (Optional) The exhaust system should be installed by a qualified HVAC contractor . Exhaust transition kits aid in the removal of chemicals or applications where a higher degree of biohazard and particulate removal is required.
14 Chapter 3: Getting Started Figure 3-2 Exhaust Duct Connection Kit shown installed on Purifier Models (Optional) Kit #3924400 (2'), 3924401 (3'), and 3924402 (4').
15 Cha p ter 3: Gettin g Starte d Inst allation of HEP A Filters and Accessory Odor Control Carbon Filters HEPA Filters HEPA filters are shipped installed with the gasket on the downstream side. The HEPA filters are leak checked at Labconco. A second leak check is recommended before using the enclosure and at least annually thereafter.
16 Chapter 3: Getting Started Filter Type Appropriate Use HEPA 2' 3707900 3' 3707901 4' 3707902 HEPA filters are high-efficiency particulate air filters having a particulate removable efficiency of 99.99% for particles with a diameter of 0.
