INTRODUCTION
The WHEATON®Bench Top Mini Bottle Roller is designed for small scale mixing and agitation
using bottles that are too small to be accommodated by our standard roller apparatus. It is
perfect for Wheaton 30 mL or larger serum bottles, 100-125 mL media bottles or 38 x 200
culture tubes for the growth and observation of single chicken or rat embryos. The compact size
makes it suitable for laboratories with limited space and for use with standard incubators and
cold rooms. Continuous rotation of cylindrical bottles at predetermined optimum speeds
provides better distribution of media and uniform gassing. The transistorized solid state circuitry
allows exacting speed control of the bottles and is designed to compensate against sudden or
prolonged line voltage changes. The roller shafts are mounted in self-lubricating nylon bearings,
which eliminates many maintenance problems. The WHEATON®Bench Top Mini Bottle Roller
will accommodate bottles 38-60 mm in diameter up to 240 mm long, with bottle speeds of 3 to
45 RPM (38 mm bottle) and 2 to 30 RPM (60 mm bottle).
Wheaton #348923-C, D, F, & G (230 VAC) is a single deck unit which will accommodate a
minimum of four bottles.

SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IN
THE EVENT OF A SHORT CIRCUIT, GROUNDING REDUCES THE RISK OF
SHOCK BY PROVIDING AN ESCAPE PATH FOR THE ELECTRIC CURRENT.
THIS INSTRUMENT MUST BE GROUNDED.
This instrument is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire and an appropriate grounding plug. The
plug must be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. The outlet must have the same configuration as the plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, contact your nearest
Wheaton distributor for the proper line cord for your area.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: EVEN THE SAFEST EQUIPMENT CAN CAUSE INJURY IF THE USER IS CARELESS.
1. KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT - Read the operating manual carefully. Learn the equipment's
application and limitations.
2. GROUND ALL EQUIPMENT - If electrical, this instrument is equipped with a grounding type plug.
The green/yellow conductor in the cord is the grounding wire and should never be connected to a live
terminal.
3. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT - Electrical instruments designed to process liquids must be
operated with extreme caution. If liquid comes in contact with internal electrical components or wires,
fire or electrical shock may occur. Adequate surrounding work space should be provided during use.
Do not operate electrical instrumentation in a combustible atmosphere.
4. WORK SURFACE - Keep well lighted. Be certain the work surface is clean, level and sturdy enough
to support the weight of the unit, particularly if it is to be filled with liquid.
5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL - Do not wear loose clothing, neckties or jewelry that might get caught in
moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
6. WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES - Wear safety goggles at all times. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
7. DON'T OVERREACH - Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
8. MAINTAIN INSTRUMENT WITH CARE - Keep screws tight and unit clean. Check periodically for
worn or damaged parts. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not operate this instrument if
there are signs of damage.
9. AVOID ACCIDENTAL START UP - If electrical, always make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position
before plugging instrument into outlet.
10. DISCONNECT INSTRUMENT - Always disconnect the instrument from the power source
before servicing.
11. DO NOT BLOCK COOLING VENTS IF PROVIDED
12. DO NOT OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT IN ANY MANNER NOT SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL
13. KEEP THE OPERATING MANUAL FOR THE INSTRUMENT IN A SAFE PLACE NEAR THE
INSTRUMENT FOR QUICK AND EASY REFERENCE.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This section contains a general description of the Wheaton Bench Top Mini Bottle Roller. This section
also contains instructions for initial inspection, installation, selecting the power-line voltage and
connecting the unit to AC power.
1. OPTIONS - WSP #348920-CH Mini Bottle Deck Kit (sold separately), can be added to accommodate
an additional (minimum of) four bottles per deck.
2. INITIAL INSPECTION - When you receive your Wheaton Bench Top Mini Bottle Roller, inspect it for
any obvious damage that may have occurred during shipment. If any damage is found, notify the
carrier at once. Warranty information is shown in the front of this manual. Check to confirm that there
are no broken switches, or pulleys and that the unit is not dented or scratched.
3. INSTALLATION - Install the unit where there will be adequate room for the unit to operate. Provide
enough clearance around the unit to keep items away from the rotating belts and pulleys.
4. INPUT POWER REQUIREMENTS - This equipment is designed to operate from a nominal 230V
single phase ac power source at 47 to 63 Hz. An indication on the rear of the unit shows the nominal
input voltage set for the unit at the factory.
5. POWER LINE CORD - This unit has been shipped from the factory with a power line cord that has a
plug appropriate for your area. If the wrong power cord has been shipped for your particular
application, contact your nearest Wheaton dealer for the proper cord. The Wheaton Bench Top Mini
Bottle Roller has been equipped with a 3-wire grounding type power cord. The unit is only grounded
when it is plugged into an appropriate receptacle. Do not operate the unit without adequate grounding
protection.
6. POWER LINE VOLTAGE SELECTION - Power line voltage selection is accomplished by adjusting
two components: the power line voltage selector and the power line fuse in the power line module on
the rear of the unit.

OPERATION
Refer to Figure A
CAUTION: Keep hands and fingers away from rotating parts of the machine. Do not
remove any safety guards or operate the machine without the safety guards.
IMPORTANT: This apparatus was designed to run partially filled bottles for standard cell
culture applications. Please consult Wheaton engineering if you have special
applications.
1. Plug the unit into an appropriate source of AC power.
2. Place bottle(s) on unit.
3. Turn on the power switch located on the rear of the unit.
4. Adjust the speed control knob until the desired rotational speed is obtained. Turn the speed
control knob clockwise to increase roller speed, or counterclockwise to decrease roller
speed.
CAUTION: Because a fully loaded roller apparatus can become very heavy, care should
be taken when moving the equipment while it is loaded with bottles.

MAINTENANCE
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY
DANGER! NEVER ATTEMPT TO PERFORM REPAIRS IF THIS INSTRUMENT IS PLUGGED
IN! IN ORDER TO AVOID SERIOUS ELECTRIC SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION, THIS
INSTRUMENT MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE SOURCE OF AC POWER BEFORE
MAINTENANCE IS ATTEMPTED.
As with any piece of laboratory equipment, periodic inspection for worn and or damaged parts should be
performed on a regular basis in order to maintain optimum performance. How often is dependent upon
amount of usage, working environment, motor speed, etc. The maintenance interval is best determined
by the user.
MOTOR REPLACEMENT (refer to fig. A & B )
DANGER! BE CERTAIN UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE AC POWER SOURCE.
1. Unplug the unit from power source.
2. Loosen the Allen screw, which secures the shaft extender (25) to the output shaft of motor (26).
Remove shaft extender assembly along with drive belts (8) and set aside.
3. Remove the four screws (underneath unit) which secure the cabinet lid to the cabinet base. Remove
lid.
4. Noting their location, unplug wires from rear of motor.
5. Remove the four screws (12) and lock washers (13) that secure the motor to the cabinet base (18).
Remove motor.
6. Remove two screws that hold motor mounting plate (30) to the motor. Remove motor mounting plate
from the motor.
7. For re-assembly, reverse the above order using new motor. When replacing the four screws removed
in step 5, do not tighten until re-assembly has been completed. Drive belt tension is effected by
moving the four screws either up or down prior to tightening. Do not over tighten the drive belts.
