Installation and Start-Up

Removing Shipping

Bracket

Install the shaker on a sturdy table or bench. The support structure must

be able to accommodate both the weight and operating motion of the

shaker. The shaker can also be placed under a bench or in a “knee well.”

Note If your platform is already installed, skip this section and continue

to next section. s

Caution Remove the shipping bracket and install the shaker platform

before plugging in or attempting to operate the unit. ▲

After removing the orbital mechanism

shipping bracket and installing the

platform, remove this protective decal from

the control panel to begin shaker operation.

Figure 1-3. Orbital Mechanism Shipping Bracket

To protect the shaker’s orbital mechanism during shipment, a sheet metal

shipping bracket is installed and must be removed before the unit can be

operated. Using a 7/16” and 9/16” hex wrench, remove the three 1/4”

and the single 3/8” screws. Retain this hardware for future shipping.

Section 1

Installation and Start-Up

This shaker accommodates either a 5/16” heavy-duty, 18” x 18” platform

or a 24” x 18” platform.

Note If installing the larger platform, RPM is limited to 400. The 194012

counterweight kit must also be installed by qualified service personnel. ▲

All shaker platforms are attached to their orbital mechanisms with six 1/4-

20 hex socket flat head screws. These screws are hardened and should not

be exchanged with any other screw type. The 5/32” hex socket wrench

included with the shaker must be used when attaching the platform. Refer

to Figure 1-4.

Caution Do not attempt to use a Phillips head screwdriver. ▲
