ASSEMBLE THE REACTOR
These reactors require a work area in a well
ventilated area with convenient access to an electric
outlet, running water and a drain. This unit needs to
be placed at least 10 inches away from walls or
flammable materials.
Use the associated assembly reference drawings
included in this manual to help identify parts to
assemble the reactor.
Removable Head Vessel
1. Take the lift tube assembly with the top
bushings/housings on it and lower the tube through
the work surface and center stand section. Place
the end of the tube over the bottom bushing.
2. If applicable, mount the hoist by hooking it to
the lift tube assembly. If it is an electric hoist, plug it
into receptacle provided in the arm of lift tube
assembly.
3. The wiring for the electric hoist, motor, and tachometer is routed through the lift tube and
out through the bottom bearing support. Route this wiring through the conduit ducts
underneath the center stand bottom shelf and up through the conduit duct on the left rear
leg of the center stand. Connect these wires to the appropriate connectors.
4. Install two Lift Rings (1593HC) in cylinder flange. Attach one Lift Ring (1593HC) into the
Lift Plate (1594HC). Attach two Lift Cables (A1595HC) to the lift plate in the holes that are
180° apart. Attach Lift Cables to the Lift Rings in cylinder. Attach this assembly to the lift
hoist hook. Lift the cylinder and carefully lower into the heater. Remove the two Lift
Rings from the cylinder flange after it is in the heater.
5. If applicable, install the Bottom Drain Valve into bottom of cylinder, through the bottom
of the heater.
6. Lift the head with three Lift Cables (A1595HC) attached to the lift plate in the holes that
are 120° apart. Attach the cables to the three 1571HC Lift Eyes on the head. Lift the head
and place carefully on the cylinder to avoid damage to the sealing surfaces.
7. Install the Split Rings per instructions in section, "How to Use the Vessel".
8. If the drive coupler needs to be adjusted to center the coupler halves, loosen the
mounting bolts of the motor and move the motor assembly as required to center the drive
couplers. Tighten the bolts while holding the motor assembly in position.
