Section 3
The MaxQ SHKE8000 Series 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. Follow 'Platform Adjustments' procedure
in Section 4, when re-installing the platform.
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 with the unit empty, set the speed to 300 RPM.
Allow the unit to run for several minutes. If the vibration is normal,
return the unit to service. If not, repeat steps above.
