Introduction & warranty
Introduction
By selecting a Fast & Fluid Management shaker you have opted for a product which is the
result of intensive research. Top-quality components, craftsmanship and a modern ergonomic
design all serve to guarantee a long service life and a high degree of user friendliness.
Warranty
In these warranty conditions, 'F&FM' is understood to mean Fast & Fluid Management. The
warranty conditions incorporated into F&FM's general conditions of sale are summarized as
follows (for free general conditions you can contact F&FM).
F&FM guarantees the proper operation of any goods which it supplies, for a period of one year,
except where a breakdown is the result of normal wear and tear. The cost of any inspection
activities carried out by F&FM, with the aim of establishing whether or not a breakdown is
covered by the warranty will be reimbursed by the other party if it transpires that the
breakdown is not covered by the warranty. If it transpires that a breakdown is covered by the
warranty then F&FM will supply identical or equivalent goods under the conditions referred to
in point 6 of the general conditions of sale. The warranty obligation described in this article
only applies if the goods supplied by F&FM have been used in accordance with the manual.
Time spent on warranty-related activities, including travel time, travel costs and
accommodation costs, are charged at current rates.
In contrast to the above, F&FM will not be held to any warranty obligation if:
1. Repairs have been carried out, or attempted, by the other party or a third party, unless
F&FM had previously declined to repair the goods for a fair price;
2. F&FM demonstrates that the defect did not emerge during testing;
3. The other party fails to inform F&FM of the defect immediately, if possible either by letter
and/or by fax, providing full, accurate details and/or has failed to comply fully with F&FM's
instructions;
4. The other party has failed to use or treat the goods properly or in accordance with F&FM's
instructions;
5. The damage has been caused by incidents, beyond F&FM's supervision, which have
occurred either during transport or installation.
CE certification
The machine is CE certified. It means that the machine complies with the essential
requirements concerning safety and hygiene. The directives that have been taken into
consideration in the design are available on www.fast-fluid.com.

Safety instructions
General safety instructions
Attention! Before installing the equipment and setting it in operation,
please read the instructions carefully. This is safer both for yourself
and prevents unnecessary damage to the machine.
The manufacturer accepts no liability if the instructions below are not followed:
1. If a machine has been damaged (during transport, for example), do not attempt to set it in
operation. When in doubt, first contact either your supplier or the F&FM service
department.
2. The equipment should be positioned and connected up in strict accordance with the
installation instructions.
3. All local safety regulations and ordinances should be observed.
4. The machine may be connected only to a 220-240V/16A/50Hz earthed wall socket installed
in accordance with the regulations.
5. Users should see to it that the machine is kept in good condition. Defective components
should be replaced.
6. In order to prevent physical injury, the doors should be closed and the paneling fitted
during normal use.
7. All service activities (other than routine maintenance and adjustments) may only be carried
out by qualified technicians. See to it that the mains lead is always kept unplugged while
repairs are being carried out.
Specific safety instructions in this manual
Attention! Failure to remove the frame lock correctly can result in
severe damage to your SK450 / SK550 when in operation. Please

Maintenance
Keep your SK450 / SK550 clean and free of
paint residue
>
Remove all spilt paint
from accessible parts
(especially clamping plate
spindles).
Use diluted detergent only
and Teflon spray only.
Though the SK450 / SK550 is
designed to be completely
maintenance free, periodic
greasing of moving parts will
ensure it remains in top
shape.
Attention! MOVING PARTS CAN CAUSE INJURY. Always turn off
power (e.g. by pressing emergency stop) before accessing
moving parts.

Introduction
Before calling your machine supplier or Service Department, please check whether you can solve the
problem yourself. If you cannot, then call the Service Department for advice. Have the model number and
serial number at hand (these can be found on the silver sticker at the back of the machine). Use the Problem
Solving chart below to judge whether you can solve a problem yourself or whether you need to call in the
Service Department. On no occasion remove side panels yourself, this may only be done by trained service
personnel.

Contributing to the Protection of the Environment
Packaging Material
The packaging protects the machine against damage during transport. The packaging material
was chosen based on its limited impact on the environment and its inherent possibilities for
waste-disposal.
The reuse of packaging material saves raw materials and produces less waste material.
Generally speaking, your supplier will take the packaging off your hands.
Discarding the Machine
Discarded equipment usually still consists of valuable materials. For this reason, do not simply
throw your machine out with the oversized refuse, but ask your supplier whether he will take
the machine back.
If he will not, then enquire at your local government offices or ask a trader of raw materials
