1. Immobilize the top locknut against the unit with one wrench whenever you adjust the foot, to
keep the threaded stud from falling out (see Fig. 5 on p. 18).

2. With a second wrench against the flats of the threaded stud, just above the foot, rotate
clockwise to lower the foot or counter-clockwise to raise the foot.
3. Place a level on the top of the unit. If necessary, make further adjustments by repeating all
steps until the unit is level.
4. After installing a platform (see Getting started on p. 32), fully load the shaker and do a test run
at normal speed (see Operation on p. 37). Make additional leveling adjustments if necessary.
6.4 Level the optional base
Place the base on a sturdy (capable of bearing the weight of the combined base shakers and
shaker contents), level surface, making sure that all four corners are solidly on the surface. If the
base is not level, place metal shims as needed under the base until it is level.
6.5 Mount Innova 44/44R on optional base
1. Using a forklift or lifter, raise the Innova 44/44R so that its back end is tilted toward the rear of
the base.
2. Remove all four feet from the bottom of the shaker. They will not be needed for stacking, but
you may want to keep them for future use.
3. With two assistants guiding the shaker from opposite sides, lower the unit onto the base, back
end first. Slowly and gently remove the forklift or lifter, lowering the front of the unit onto the
base by hand.
4. Remove the set screws from the bottom sides of the shaker that correspond to the mounting
holes for the rear corner braces (see Fig. 6 on p. 19).

metal shims.
