Packaging
To unpack the wooden crate, undo the lid retaining
screws and remove the lid. Undo the screws from the
base of the timber sleeve and carefully lift the sleeve
clear of the evaporator.
Lifting
Make sure there are enough people to share the lifting
safely. Carefully lift the EZ-2 slightly at first to feel the
weight and to find the centre of gravity. When ready,
manually lift the EZ-2 into position using the handholds
in the base.
Alternatively, use mechanical lifting equipment such as
a lifting table or fork lift.

Caution: The hand holds are for
manual lifting only. Do not insert lifting
forks.

of the bench, a wall or any other equipment

Unpacking and Setting Up

Setting Up
Place the drip -plate in the moulding recess to the right
of the lid.
Fit the catch pot by screwing it into the retainer on the
side of the EZ-2.
Fit the condenser jar.
Make sure the jar is correctly aligned
Taking care to avoid dropping the vent filter inside the
EZ-2 cladding, carefully insert the vent filter into the
hole in the service panel and screw onto the threaded
connector.
Push the exhaust hose (supplied) to the spigot on top
of the exhaust catch-pot. Connect the other end of
the exhaust hose to an appropriate laboratory fume
extraction system.
Arrange the exhaust hose so it takes solvent vapours
away from the evaporator safely. Avoid forming U-
bends in the pipe as this could cause condensed
solvent to gather.
Connect the mains supply lead.
Before powering up, check all parts of the system are
installed correctly.
