1. With reference to figure below (see Fig. 15 on p. 33), place the platform on the subplatform,
making sure the two slots in the back of the platform are inserted under the subplatform’s
blocks in the back, and the slide-out tray handles are at the front edge, facing up.
Steps 2 – 4 are called out in figure below (see Fig. 15 on p. 33):

8.3 Install flask clamps
Flask clamps purchased for use with universal platforms (see Flask clamps for universal
platforms on p. 61) require installation. Clamps are installed by securing the base of the clamp to
the platform with the correct type and number of screws. All clamps are shipped complete with
hardware.
Clamps for 2, 2.8 and 4 liter flasks are shipped with an additional girdle to keep the flasks in
place. The girdle is an assembly of springs and sections of rubber tubing. One girdle is already in
place on the clamp, the other is packed separately. To install these double girdle clamps:
1. Place the clamp on the platform, aligning its mounting holes with holes on the platform.
Secure the clamp in place using the flat Phillips head screws provided (# S2116-3051, 10 –
24 x 5/16 in). Use figure below (see Fig. 17 on p. 34) to help you identify the proper screws,
as three different types of screws are shipped with the clamps.
2. With the first girdle in place, as delivered, on the upper part of the clamp body (see Fig. 16 on
p. 34), insert an empty flask into the clamp.
3. After making sure the sections of tubing are located between the clamp legs, roll the first
girdle down the legs of the clamp as far as it can go. The tubing sections will rest against the
platform, and the springs will be under the clamp base.
1 Rotate subplatform cam lever 180 °
counterclockwise (away from you), until it points
to the right. This locks the platform in place.
2 Simultaneously push both side cam levers up
(away from you and toward the back of the
chamber).
3 Push both slide-out tray handles away from you
until the platform hits its stops at the back of the
chamber.
