How to Use the Adjustable Tank Stands

Adjustable tank stands for installing the VistaCool at the correct height are available as accessories when needed (S7545 for use with single-unit V7501; S7547 for use with double-unit V7502). These stands raise the tank height between 1/2” and 5” in 1/2” increments.

Instructions

  1. Measure to determine how much additional height is required for the top of the VistaCool water tank to be above the coolant overflow fitting on the drain adapter assembly. Be sure the top of the tank is below the autoclave outlet
  2. Select the appropriate orientation for the adjustable tank stand. Note that because of how the openings in the stands are positioned, one orientation raises the water tank in even, one-inch increments (1”, 2”, etc.). Use the inverted orientation if you need to raise the tank in a 1/2” increment (1/2”, 1-1/2”, 2-1/2”, etc.)
  3. Insert the included metal “straps” into the appropriate openings to achieve the correct height. Be sure that the tank sets level and securely in the tank stand.
