Orbital Shakers
The 2 L, 2.8 L, 4 liter, 5 L, and 6 L Flask Clips use two metal springs and
rubber spring tubes. On these larger clips, the springs are installed by
hooking their ends together as illustrated in Figure 1-10. The upper spring
and spring tubes should be installed prior to mounting the clip to the
platform. The lower spring and spring tubes, however, are placed around
the bottom of the clip legs after the flask clip is fastened to the platform.
Note that the rubber spring tubes are placed between the clip legs.

Shaker will hold numbers and sizes from ninety-one 25 ml flasks to four 6
liter flasks. Refer to Tables 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 for sizes and quantities.
All platforms have mounting holes for flask clips and test tube racks made
by other manufacturers.
Flask clips can be attached anywhere on the shaker platform. The counter-
balanced design of these shakers accommodates even an unbalanced load.
The flask clips are supplied with the proper screws and are attached to the
platform with a standard Phillips screwdriver or with the screwdriver
provided with the unit.
Note that 1, 2, 2.8, 4, 5, and 6 liter flask clips use five screws. The
250/300 flask clip has an adhesive-backed flask cushion pad which is
installed on the flat base of the clip body. A hole is provided in the pad for
the mounting screw. Refer to Figure 1-8.
