STAGE 1 – Refresh the Adjuster Assembly
Step 1-Disassembly of Adjuster Assembly.
Adjuster units are very heavy. Lifting should only be done using appropriate lifting aids.
1.
Detach any pipework from the top sanitary clamp adapter.
2.
Remove flange fixing bolts from the top column tube flange. Retain bolts, nuts
and washers.
3.
Check that adjuster seal is released by turning the seal actuation nut counter
clockwise.
4.
If necessary, remove the handles from the seal actuation nut if they interfere
with the hoist slings.
5.
Using a hoist lift adjuster unit out of tube unit.
6.
Move the adjuster along the hoist rail or move the remaining column unit so
access to the lifted adjuster unit is possible.
7.
Place the adjuster assembly so that the flowcell face is on the floor with the
hoist still attached.
Identify the parts as shown in the schematic and photograph below.
