Hello Everyone,

 

Has anyone experienced issues with sash mechanisms?  I had one fail yesterday from what initially appears to be failure of the belt of the counterweight mechanism.  These fume hoods are fairly new and I am wondering how often it is recommended that these mechanisms be inspected.  And, does anyone have a written recommended procedure for such inspections that they are willing to share?

 

Thank you,

 

Monique
