Caution
Do not operate shaker with an
unbalanced load. Platforms should
be loaded for optimum stability. Do
not lift shaker by the platform.
Warning
Do not operate the shaker at speeds
that will cause the contents of vessels
to be thrown out.

Platform Installation

1.
Select the appropriate platform for the vessels to be
shaken. A wide variety of platforms and accessories
are available:
• Dedicated platforms have the maximum number of
flask clamps attached for safe operation.
• Combination platforms allow the user to shake a
wide variety of different sized vessels on the same
platform.
2.
Carefully position the platform horizontally over the
shaker's mounting plate aligning the 4 mounting
holes.
3.
Positions one of the thumbscrews provided through
each of the 4-platform mounting holes and tighten
securely.

Flask Clamp Installation

Each flask clamp contains a support spring located
at the narrow top of the clamp.
Depending on the size of the clamp, the clamp base
may contain one or several screws necessary to
secure the clamp to the platform. All screws provid-
ed with the clamp must be properly attached to the
platform.
1.
Carefully place the desired vessel in the clamp by
first pulling the clamp spring far enough apart to
enable the flask base to be positioned inside the
clamp. Secondly, gently slide the flask into its proper
position securing it to the wider bottom of the clamp.
The spring will hold the body of the flask securely in
place and provide security during shaking.
2.
Make sure all vessels are securely clamped before
turning on unit.
Wherever possible, vessels should contain a stopper to pre-
vent hazardous substances being thrown out during the mix-
ing action.
