Adjustable Slab Gel Unit Preparation
A. Unit Set-Up
1. Place Adjustable Slab Gel unit on a level work surface in an authorized work area.
Attach each of the black guide rods to the flathead screws through the countersunk
holes on the bottom of the base. Thread the screws into the black guide rods and
hand tighten. Do not over tighten.
2. Slide the upper reservoir onto the guide rods. Be sure to unscrew the thumbscrews
slightly so that the ends of the screws are not protruding into the guide rod channels.
3. Adjust the upper reservoir so that the facia and glass notches are level, using a
notched plate as a guide. Tighten the two black thumbscrews to fix the height.
4. Level the unit by adjusting the four white nylon thumbscrews until the bubble is
centered in the level. Be sure that all four of the screws are touching the bench.
5. Verify that the comb, spacer set and Gel Wrap gasket are the same thickness by
assembling without gel casting.
B. Adjustable-Height Safety Cover (European version only).
The safety cover is shipped set at a height corresponding to the 160mm glass plates. To
adjust the cover height:
1. Pull both white handles outward to release tabs.
2. Immediately push up on inner cover with index finger, to increase height, until tab
reaches desired slot. Alternatively, invert both section of the adjustable height safety
cover, pull both white handles outward to release tabs, allowing the inner section to
slide to desired height.
Reminder: For proper safety cover operation, height of upper reservoir notch
must align with the notch in the glass plates. Place a single notched glass
plate (or short plate if using unnothced sets) on to feet in lower reservoir and
adjust upper reservoir until glass and upper reservoir notch are even (see step
3 in Unit Set-up). Secure black thumbscrews. Test fit safety cover before using
system.
