Vertical Alignment

The vertical alignment of the shafts to the base of the dissolution bath is critical to the correct operation of the system. From an adjustment point of view, there is little that the user can do about it and it should be set by the manufacturer.

It is a good idea to check the alignment however and the simplest method is with a set square available from any tool store. Remove the vessels and lower the shaft until it is just below the base plate. Take the square and align it with the base and shaft to check the vertical alignment of the shaft. This should always be checked by the manufacturer on installation because physical trauma can occur during shipping. If an error is found then the manufacturer should be contacted to correct the problem.
