Installation and Start-Up
Installing the Platform
This shaker accommodates either a 5/16" heavy-duty, 18" x 18" platform
or a 24" x 18" platform.
Note If installing the larger platform, RPM is limited to 400. The 194012
counterweight kit must also be installed by qualified service personnel.
s
All shaker platforms are attached to their orbital mechanisms with six 1/4-
20 hex socket flat head screws. These screws are hardened and should not
be exchanged with any other screw type. The 5/32" hex socket wrench
included with the shaker must be used when attaching the platform. Refer
to Figure 1-4.
Caution Do not attempt to use a Phillips head screwdriver.
