NOTE:
For ease and convenience, an additional Suspension Arm Kit (M1248-
0730) is available. A platform can also be installed by securing it to the
drive arms, and then securing the entire assembly to the unit. Verify
that the arms are secured in place before operating the unit.
5.3 Installing Flask Clamps
Flask clamps purchased for use with universal platforms (see Section 9.2) 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-inch). Use Figure 9b 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
Figure 9a above), insert an empty flask into the clamp.
