Caution Do not lift the unit under the sidecar! The sidecar structure is
not designed to support the weight of the unit.
Caution Do not lift or position the unit by the door or door handle.
Damage to door mounting and gasket may occur.
Caution Do not lift with forklift or other lifting device near the center of

When lifting from the base, position the lifting device as close as possible
to the leveling feet. Whenever possible, lift the unit by the four threaded

disconnected from the power source. To access the threaded inserts
needed to secure the shakers to the stand or another unit, remove the
