1-6 Model SHKE8000 Series Shakers
After positioning the shaker (or stack) in its
final location, it is critical that the unit(s) be as
level as possible. Each of the leveling feet on a
shaker or stand has an adjustment nut (the
lower one, for leveling purposes) and a locknut
(the upper one, for securing the adjustment).
See Figure 1-13.
Using a 3/4" or adjustable wrench, turn the adjustment nut (extend the
leveling foot) to achieve a level condition. Make sure the shaker (or stack)
is leveled side-to-side and front-to-back. This can usually be accomplished
by adjusting only two feet. Verify that all four feet are in full contact with
the floor when leveling is complete. To "tune out" any vibrations, see the
Tuning the Cabinet section. After each leveling (and/or tuning), secure the
adjustment in place by tightening the locknut against the base of the
cabinet/stand.
Caution The leveling feet extend only a very short distance. When the unit
is leveled and tuned, with the leveling feet locked in place, the adjustment
and locking nuts should be no further apart than 1/4 inch.
Information concerning the two drains on these shakers follows.
A drain is provided in the bottom of the chamber for convenience when
cleaning or removing spills (Figure 1-14). A clear vinyl hose and plastic
valve are connected to the drain and accessed by removing the lower front
panel. The panel has two screws along the bottom and tabs along the top
located in slots.
