REPACKING

The Balometer Jr. can be stored in the carrying case with either the 2' x 2'
or the optional 16" x 16" hood attached. The 16" x 16" hood may be
stored fully assembled, while the frame for the 2' x 2' hood must be
folded in half prior to storage. First, remove the handle by unscrewing it
from the top or bottom of the range selector/meter assembly. Store the
handle in its pocket on the left side of the carrying case.
Next, remove the hood support rods by gently pressing down on the rod
to compress the spring in the lower tube assembly, and release it from the
corner of the hood frame. Each of the four rods should be removed from
the base by gently pulling upward on the lower U-section until the lower
tube assembly is free from the square section on the base. The top solid
section of the rod should now be folded into the U-section if it is not
already placed there. This is accomplished by pushing the retainer
toward the end of the U-channel, swinging the center rod into the U-
channel, and then pushing the retainer back so that it holds the rod in
place.
Note: Use care not to pinch fingers when swinging rod closed. After all
four rods are closed, they should be placed in their pocket, at the rear of
the carrying case. The LoFlow adapter screen is simply pressed into
place on the top side of the base to secure it.
If storing the base with the 2' x 2' hood in place, the next step is to fold
the frame top. Fold the frame in half at its hinge points, being careful not
to pinch the hood material, and then wrap the material around the folded
frame assembly. The instrument base can now be placed in the case
(aligned so that range selector and meter fit into proper cut-out on left
side). The frame and hood can be placed around the sides and back so
that the short center sections fit into the pockets on the sides of the case.
See Figure 9.
If storing the base with the 16" x 16" hood in place, first make sure that
the 2' x 2' hood and frame is properly in place, with the center sections
located in the pockets along the sides of the carrying case. Next set the
base of the instrument into its pocket (aligned so that range selector and
Figure 9: Location of unit in meter fit into proper cut-out on the left side). Finally, place hood and
carrying case frame in position, centered over base. See Figure 9.
If the optional 16" x 16" hood is to be stored disassembled, first remove
the hood from the frame top by gently pulling the elastic cord out of its
channel, working your way around the entire top until the hood is free
from the frame. Next partially disassemble the frame top by pulling two
opposing corner sections apart, leaving two L-shaped pieces. Store these
pieces in the foam cutout to the left of the base, remove the hood from
the base, and store the folded hood by placing it under the base.
Before closing the case make sure that all items are securely in place, and
that no damage will occur.
