3. Safety Precautions &
Maintenance:
• Do not load the platform shaker with more than 7.5kg of weight.
• Wear personal protective equipment during the operation of the unit.
• Never touch moving parts.
• Always install th shaker on a at, stable and non-slippery surface.
• Do not hold or attempt to lift the unit with a shaking platform.
• Always unplug the power adaptor before cleaning the unit.
• Ensure that the shaker is used for the specied applications only. It should not be
used for shaking hazardous or reactive solutions.
• The unit is not to be operated in a hazardous, explosive, or ammable environment
and not to be used to mix explosive or highly reactive material. Do not use the unit
under water.
• Do not use the shaker if it shows signs of electrical of mechanical damage.
If any damage is found, contact your supplier immediately.
• Ensure that all the shaking accessories are rmly tightened to prevent
personal injury.
• If the unit is not operating smoothly, reduce the speed or load until the unit returns
to its regular operation.
• If there is a power interruption during the shaker’s operation, the unit will not
automatically restart when the supply of power is resumed.
• The unit may only be used to stir materials or material mixtures that will not react
dangerously to the extra energy produced by the stirring. This also applies to extra
energy produced by means of solar radiation during the shaking operation.
• Do not assemble the shaker’s attachments while the power supply is connected.
• Ensure that the attachments are secured properly prior to operation.

4. Installation & Operation
4.1 Installation
1. Remove the packaging gently and take the shaker out by holding the unit from
the bottom.
2. Ensure that all the packaging accessories are removed from the product prior to
using the unit for the rst time.
ATTENTION: Keep all the packaging in safe storage for at least two years after the
purchase for warranty purposes.
Location and mounting
• The ideal ambient temperature is 20°C ± 5°C – Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.
• Keep a minimum clearance of 300mm from all directions to guarantee safe operation.
• Keep the unit away from heat or water to avoid sample temperature errors of
shaker failures.
• Do not place the shaker in an area that makes it dicult to operate the unit.
• Place the unit on a at and level surface – ensure that the four feet stand on the
surface rmly.
• Avoid placing the shaker on a slippery surface or an area prone to vibration.
• If the mounting surface is uneven, adjust the appropriate base mount by moving it
upward or downward. Next, turn the base mount in a counter clockwise direction to
move the base mount downwards.
• To avoid automatically loosening the base mount, hold the base mount with one
hand and tighten the nut of the base mount using the provided spanner. To tighten
the nut, tighten it in a clockwise direction and vice versa.

Removing the universal attachment
To remove the attachment, loosen the clamping screws and lift the attachment away
from the unit.
Supporting the weight from the attachments
To ensure safe and secure operation of the unit, the shaking platform must only be
operated with the range of usable weight and speed [see below diagram]. Please
ensure that the platform surface on which the attachment is placed is clean and level.
If the attachment is screwed together with an adjacent piece of equipment [i.e., if it is
integrated into a system], it should be noted during operation that dynamic forces may
arise because of unfavourable loading circumstances and the position of the centre
of gravity. As a result, this may cause the adjacent equipment to vibrate or cause the
table to vibrate uncontrollably. If you notice that the device is running unevenly, lower
the speed until the irregularities fade out.
Ensure that the individual attachment vessels are placed in the middle of the
attachment as well as evenly placed. Firmly fasten all the vessels to the attachment.
