Turn counterclockwise () for loosen tight-fitting
Mount the evaporation flask:
- Place the evaporation flask on the Vapour tube (R). (Fig.15a)
- Turn the plastic nut (S) with the clip (T) counterclockwise until
the clip can be put on the flange. (Fig. 15b)
- Now turn the plastic nut clockwise until the clamp is hard up
against the flange. When doing so, hold the locking device (O)
on the steam pipe.
Remove the evaporation flask:
- Hold the locking device (O) and loosen the plastic nut by turning
it counterclockwise. This releases a tightly clamped evaporating
flask.
- Hold the evaporating flask at the flange and open the jaws of
the clamp.
- Remove the evaporating flask.
- Check that the locking of vapour tube is still closed!
• Place the RV 10.8001 condenser seal (U) in the condenser
