ASSEMBLY:
See Parts Location Diagram for additional information.
Remove the unit from the shipping containers and inspect for damage. If damage is detected, save all packaging
and immediately report any exterior or interior damage to the freight carrier.
Remove all accessories from the inside of the Still (and the JetVac’s cabinet, if applicable).
Install the pressure relief valve assembly into the top of the Still’s lid. Face the elbow towards the rear of the unit
(away from the occupied area).
Attach the supplied grounding cables/clamps to the ground block on the right side of the Still.
Thread the discharge hose into the discharge pipe on the right side of the Still. Omit this step if installing a JetVac
(see below).
SPECIAL ASSEMBLY FOR LS-15IIE AND LS-55IIE:
“System II” Stills have additional features for
automatic operation. Explanations of these features are discussed in the Instrumentation and Controls section.
Install the vapor temperature gage into the control panel on the front of the Still (this gage is a delicate instrument
and is packed separately to prevent damage). Attach the white wire to the positive (+) terminal and the red wire to
the negative (-) terminal. Mount the gage using the two nuts provided.
