Electrical Requirements
SHKA2000 and SHKE2000 require a 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz
power source. They are supplied with a 3-wire line cord and
should be plugged into an outlet designed for 3-prong plugs.
If an extension cord is used, it also should be the 3-wire
grounded type. For an outlet designed to accept 2-prong
plugs (ungrounded), it is required that a qualified electrician
replaces the outlet with a new, grounded type.
SHKA2000-1CE and SHKE2000-1CE require a 240 VAC,
50/60 Hz power source. They are supplied with a Schuko
cordset.
If a plug must be installed, use only the 3-prong grounded
type, rated for the unit load requirements and matching the
power outlet. Make sure the green ground wire is secured to
the plug ground terminal.
To eliminate hazard of electrical shock, make sure floor
around shaker is dry. In the event of accidental spilling or
splashing of liquids, clean up and/or neutralize the spilled liq-
uids before continuing.
Leave shaker disconnected when not in use.
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, allowing the 4 thumb
knobs on the sides of the mounting plate to line up
with the corresponding cut outs on the platform’s
sides.
3. Once the platform is in place over the outside edges
of the mounting plate, tighten the 4 thumb knobs to
secure platform to the mounting plate.
Warning
Do not operate shaker with a dam-
aged electrical cord.
Caution
Do not operate shaker with an unbal-
anced load. Platforms should be
loaded for optimum stability and
operation. Do not lift shaker by the
platform.

13
Flask Clamp Installation
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. Gently slide the flask into its proper
position securing it to the wider bottom of the
clamp. The spring will hold the neck of the flask
securely in place and provide security during
shaking.
• 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 provided with the clamp must be
properly attached to the platform.
2. Make sure all vessels are securely clamped
before turning on unit.
Wherever possible, vessels should contain a stopper to
prevent hazardous substances being thrown out during
the mixing action.
Test Tube Rack Installation
1. Position the test tube rack on the combination
platform so that the cutouts on the rack’s out-
side bottom are aligned with corresponding
mounting holes on the platform. There are two
cutouts on each side of the rack.
2. Secure the rack to the platform with mounting
screws provided with the rack.
Warning
Do not operate the shaker at speeds
that will cause the contents of vessels
to be thrown out.
