The MaxQ Orbital Shaker accepts a heavy-
duty, 18" (wide) x 17-3/4" (front to back),
5/16" aluminum platform. The shaker
platform is attached to the orbital mechanism
with six 1/4-20 x 3/4" long hex socket flat head
screws, Grade 8. These screws are hardened and
should not be replaced with any other screw
type. A 5/32" hex socket wrench is included
with the shaker to attach the platform. Figure 1-8 identifies the hex socket
wrench and hex socket flat head screws.
Caution Do not attempt to use a Phillips head screwdriver!
To install the shaker platform:
1. Insert the two 1/4-20 alignment pins into the two mounting holes
identified in Figures 1-9 and 1-10.

4. Move the platform in an orbital motion until one or more of the center
mounting holes are located.
