Figure 1-6. Warning Decal
To protect the shaker's orbital mechanism during shipment, a sheet metal
shipping bracket (Figure 1-7) is installed and must be removed before the
unit can be operated. Using a 7/16" and 9/16" hex wrench, remove the
three 1/4" and the single 3/8" screws. Retain this hardware for future
shipping.
This shaker accommodates either a 5/16" nominal heavy-duty, 29.5" wide
x 18" front-to-back platform.
All shaker platforms are attached to their orbital mechanisms with six 1/4-
20 hex socket flathead screws Grade 8. These screws are hardened and
should not be exchanged with any other screw type. The 5/32" hex socket
wrench, included with the shaker, must
be used when attaching the platform.
Refer to Figure 1-8.
