break and need to be replaced. You may order these through your local
laboratory apparatus dealer or by contacting Labconco Corporation. Be sure
to specify the Labconco part number when ordering. If contacting Labconco
directly, please furnish the name of the dealer from whom you purchased the
equipment.
