nstallation
Upon receiving the VWR Orbital or Reciprocating Shaker, check to ensure that no
damage has occurred during shipment. It is important that any damage that occurred
in transport is detected at the time of unpacking. If you do find such damage the carrier
must be notified immediately.
After unpacking, place the shaker on a level bench or table, away from explosive
vapors. Ensure that the surface on which the unit is placed will withstand typical heat
produced by the unit and place the unit a minimum of six (6) inches from vertical
surfaces. Always place the unit on a sturdy work surface.
The Orbital or Reciprocating Shaker is supplied with a power cord that is inserted into
the IEC connector on the back of the unit first, then it can be plugged into a properly
grounded outlet. The 120V unit plugs into a 120 volt, 50/60 Hz source. The 230V unit
plugs into a 230 volt, 50/60 Hz source.

No lubrication or other technical user maintenance is required. It needs no user
maintenance beyond keeping the surfaces clean. However at least every three (3)
months you should:
• Unplug the unit.
• Remove any accumulated dirt from the base and tray.
• Check all accessible items to make sure they are properly tightened.
The unit should be given the care normally required for any electrical appliance. Avoid
wetting or unnecessary exposure to fumes. DO NOT use a cleaning agent or solvent
