Incubated and Refrigerated Shakers
SHKA4000 and SHKE4000 Series shakers require a 120VAC, 60 Hz
power source. They are supplied with a 3-wire line cord and should be
plugged into an outlet designed for 3-prong plugs. If an extension cord is
used, it also should be the 3-wire grounded type. For an outlet designed to
accept 2-prong plugs (ungrounded), it is required that a qualified
electrician replaces the outlet with a new, grounded type.
SHKA4000-1CE and SHKE4000-1CE Series shakers require a 220-
240VAC, 50/60 Hz power source. Power cords are supplied.
If a plug must be installed, use only the 3-prong grounded type, rated for
the unit load requirements and matching the power outlet. Make sure the
green ground wire is secured to the plug ground terminal.
To eliminate hazard of electrical shock, make sure floor around shaker is
dry. In the event of accidental spilling or splashing of liquids, clean up
and/or neutralize the spilled liquids before continuing.
Disconnect the shaker from the power source when not in use.
Warning Do not operate shaker with a damaged electrical cord.
1. Select the appropriate platform for the vessels to be shaken. A wide
variety of platforms and accessories are available:
•
Dedicated platforms have the maximum number of flask clamps
attached for safe operation.
•
Combination platforms allow the user to shake a wide variety of
different sized vessels on the same platform.
2. Carefully position the platform horizontally over the shaker's mounting
plate, aligning the 4 mounting holes.
3. Position one of the thumbscrews provided through each of the 4-
platform mounting holes and tighten securely.
Caution Do not operate shaker with an unbalanced load. Platforms should
be loaded for optimum stability and operation. Do not lift shaker by the
s
platform.
