Maintenance

Section 3
Model SHKE8000 and SHKE8000-7 shakers use a brushless DC motor
and oversized, permanently lubricated bearings which require no
maintenance.
The anodized brushed aluminum platform and powder-coated steel cabinet
surfaces can be cleaned with common laboratory materials. However,
liquids should not be allowed to enter the shaker cabinet from under the
platform. All spills should be cleaned up immediately. If necessary, remove
the platform. Refer to Section 1.
If the platform makes undue vibration noise during operation, adjustments
may be needed.
1. Pull universal platform from the cabinet. At the
back of the platform are two tapered pins (Figure 3-
1).
2. Loosen the nut closest to the platform. Turn the
center nut slightly to extend the pin away from the platform. A
quarter-turn or less is a good first test.
3. While holding the center nut, tighten the nut closest to the platform
back against the pin mounting block.
4. Align the guide rails to the outer edge of the quick-release platform.
Slide the platform into the cabinet.
5. Turn the unit on and set the RPM to 300. Allow the unit to run for
several minutes. If the vibration is normal, return the unit to service. If
not, repeat steps above.
