before packaging materials are discarded. After unpacking, if damage to
any of the contents is found, promptly report it to the carrier and request a
formal damage inspection.

Installation
Model SHKE435HP and SHKE436HP onsole Orbital Shakers are
shipped with the following materials:
2 - Keys for the lid lock (packaged and attached to outside of unit)
1 - T-handle 5/32” hex wrench
2 - Platform alignment studs ¼-20
1 - Shaker platform
6 - Grade 8, 5/32” hex socket flat head screws (provided with platform)
2 - 3/4” Open end wrench
2 - ¼-20 x 7” Stand-off bolts with rubber caps
1 - Phillips screwdriver for flask clip installation and removal
1 - 8¾” Phillips screwdriver for flask clip installation and removal
1 - Line cord (country of destination)
To secure the console shaker to
the shipping pallet, hold-down
brackets are attached to slots in
both sides of the cabinet. The
brackets are fastened to the
wood pallet with lag screws
(Figure 1-2).
Install the shaker on a firm, level surface in an area free of dust and dirt.
To allow for lid opening, the back of the shaker must be at least 4 ½
inches from the wall. As the electrical plug is the “mains disconnect” for
the unit, the electrical wall outlet must remain accessible at all times.
To maintain the 4½ inch minimum distance between the rear of the unit
and the wall to allow for unobstructed lid opening, two ¼-20x7” bolts are
included in the parts bag.
Screw the bolts into the threaded holes on the back of the shaker cabinet
(Figure 1-3). The bolts
should be screwed in by
hand to the limit of the
threads. Further tightening
is unnecessary. Put the
protective rubber caps, also
supplied in the parts bag,
over the heads of the bolts.

A drain is provided in the bottom of the chamber for convenience when
cleaning or removing spills (Figure 1-4). A clear vinyl hose and plastic
valve is connected to the drain and accessed by removing the front grille
assembly and the lower front panel. The grille is removed by gently pulling
it off. It is held in place by six push-in type retainers.
To remove the cabinet panel located in back of the grille, remove the six
Phillips screws; three on the top and three on the bottom. It may also be
necessary to loosen the two left side Phillips screws which hold the foot
pedal assembly to the shaker frame.
A 1/4” stainless steel condensate drain
is located on the back of the shaker to
remove any water that may collect in
the air ductwork. Refer to Figure 1-5.
The lid of the console shaker is counterbalanced for ease of opening and
closing. A foot pedal on the lower right of the front of the cabinet is also
provided for operator convenience and ready access to the chamber.
