Flask clips can be attached anywhere on the platform and flasks can be
inserted into any flask clip as the counter-balanced design of these shakers
compensates for unbalanced loads.
The flask clips are supplied with the proper screws and can be attached to
the platform with a standard Phillips screwdriver or the screwdriver
provided with the unit.
Figures 1-11 and 1-12 illustrate the installation of the flask clips. Note that
clips for 1, 2, 2.8, 4, 5, and 6 liter flasks use five screws. The 250/300ml
flask clip has an adhesive-backed flask cushion pad that is installed on the
flat base of the clip body. A hole is provided in the pad for the mounting
screw.
