SAFETY INFORMATION

The Lab-Line Model 3589 Multi-Wrist Shaker is a general-
purpose laboratory shaker designed to simulate hand
mixing. Its action can be varied from a gentle swishing
motion to vigorous agitation. The shaking arms (ordered
separately) rotate through an arc of less than 2 degrees
to produce a great deal of torque using very little power.
A built-in shaker timer can be set for continuous shaking
or a timed cycle up to one hour in length. The cast-iron
body and well-balanced mechanism prevent creeping
under all but the most extreme conditions.
Accessories for the Multi-Wrist Shaker include a utility
tray to hold odd shaped containers. Refer to the upcom-
ing REPLACEMENT PARTS LIST for a list of available
attachments.

Shipping Carton
The shipping carton should be inspected upon delivery.
When received, carefully examine for any shipping dam-
age before unpacking. If damage is discovered, the deliv-
ering carrier should both specify and sign for the damage
on your copy of the delivery receipt.
Open the carton carefully making certain that all parts are
accounted for before packaging materials are discarded.
After unpacking, if damage is found promptly report it to
the carrier and request a damage inspection promptly.
IMPORTANT: Failure to request an inspection of damage
within a few days after receipt of shipment absolves the
carrier from any liability for damage. You must call for a
damage inspection promptly.
Installing Side Arms
1. Prepare the side arm by inserting a setscrew
into each of the holes in the bottom of each side
arm. Use the Allen wrench supplied with the
accessories. The top of each arm has 2 holes
for mounting other accessories.
2. Mount each side arm on the shaker's shaft with
the setscrews on the bottom of each arm point-
ing toward the flat part of the shaft. When the
screws are snug, twist each arm back and forth
slightly while tightening the setscrews to insure
that the arm is properly aligned. Tighten the
setscrews securely.
SUGGESTION: Insert the long end of the Allen wrench
into the setscrew and turn until it is in place. Then, insert
the short end into the screw and tighten securely.
Unpacking and Installation

Tri-Grip Clamps
The side arms are shipped with the tri-grip clamps already
mounted. In the event that the clamps need to be removed,
note that they are mounted to the side arms by a single
setscrew on the bottom of the side arm and that a
sequence of assembly is followed.
1. Slide each tri-grip clamp into a hole in a side arm.
The clamp closest to the body should reach back-
ward from the unit the next closest clamp should
reach forward, and so on until all clamps are
installed.
2. Position each clamp so that the rear of its shaft
extends slightly from the side arm and so that the
clamp will hold items at the desired angle. Secure
each clamp to the side arm by tightening the
setscrew on the bottom of the side arm. For those
applications requiring the clamps to be positioned
vertically, rotate the side arms 90º.
Installing the Optional Utility Tray
1. A utility tray is available as an option and can be
used to increase the capacity of the shaker. To
install the utility tray, center the tray over the shak-
er body. Line up the holes on the mounting brack-
ets of the tray with the holes located on the top of
the side arms.
2. Screw in the mounting bolts using a 1/4-inch Allen
wrench. Tighten securely.
3. Check for tightness periodically.
4. Carefully position vessels on the tray. Be careful
not to fill vessels to levels where spilling might
occur during shaking action.
UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

Electrical Connection
Model 3589 requires a 120V, 60 z power source. It is
supplied with a 3-wire line cord. It should be connected
to 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
replace the outlet with a new grounded type.
Model 3589-1CE requires 220-240V~, 50/60 z power
source. Because of the variety of plug configurations in
use worldwide for 240 VAC power, the unit is furnished
with the plug removed. The user must install a plug to
conform with local code and configuration requirements.
Leave the unit disconnected when not in use to avoid
accidental turning on of the unit with possibility of injury.

OPERATION
5. Set the timer for the desired time period (up to one
hour) or turn counterclockwise to CONSTANT posi-
tion for continuous shaking.
6. In order to overcome initial inertia of the load, turn
the speed control to point where shaking just starts.
7. Gradually increase shaking speed to the desired
level being careful to observe that containers and
contents remain secure. If any danger is inherent in
work being carried out, proper shielding should be in
place or work should be conducted in well-ventilated
laboratory hood.
In Case of Electrical Overload
The unit is protected against electrical overload by pushbut-
ton, re-settable circuit breaker(s). If an overload occurs, the
breaker(s) will trip.
To re-set the circuit breaker(s), unplug the unit and push the
button in. owever, if the breaker(s) trip repeatedly, unplug
the unit and have the shaker serviced.
Note
Depending on load, this may be
between 2 to 3 on the speed control
scale.

A Multi-Wrist Shaker requires regular inspection for loose
clamps, side arms and accessories. Every 6 months an
examination should be made of the motor brushes for
wear. Because it has sealed ball bearings, the motor
does not require lubrication.
Checking Shaker Attachments
Before each use, be sure to check for loose clamps, side
arms and accessories. Use the Allen wrench supplied
with the accessories to tighten the items securely.
Inspecting Motor Brushes
1. Remove the 2 screws at the lower corners of
the back of the unit and remove the back cover.
2. Unscrew the brush-retaining cap located on the
motor end away from the motor shaft. Note how
brush is oriented before removing. Take hold of
spring to remove.
3. Install new brush when old brush is less than
1/4-inch long. For optimum shaker perform-
ance, replace BOT brushes, even though only
one may be worn below 1/4-inch.
4. On the opposite side, insert a short screwdriver
and manipulate to remove brush-retaining cap.
As before, note orientation of old brush and
remove. Install new brush in the same position,
replace cap and tighten. Replace back cover.
Maintenance
Warning
Disconnect from the power supply
prior to maintenance and servicing.
Warning
Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
