4.5 Install the platform
A platform (purchased separately) must be installed on the unit prior to use.
1. Set the power switch in the Off position.
2. Using the 7/32 inch allen key provided, remove the four Allen head platform screws installed in the
subplatform of the bearing housing (under the shaker). One of the four screws has a tag so you can
identify it. Set them aside for reuse.
3. Place the platform on top of the shaker’s subplatform. Be sure to use the proper size platform for your
particular model shaker (see Platforms on p. 31).
4. Reinstall and tighten the four platform screws (previously set aside) with the hex wrench to secure the
platform.
4.5.1 Quick change option
If the Quick Change Platform option is installed:
1. Slip the appropriately sized platform between the side guides and push the platform to the rear retainer.
2. Press down on the front edge of the platform.
The platform should snap down into place and be retained by the springs.
3. Check that the rear edge of the platform is engaged under the bend of the rear clip.
4.6 Install flask clamps
Flask clamps purchased for use with universal platforms require installation. Clamps are installed by
securing the base of the clamp to the platform. Flat head screws of different lengths and thread pitch are
used. Consult the Flask Clamp Hardware reference tables (see
Clamp hardware on p. 32) to identify the
proper screw for your shaker application by reference to the head style.
CAUTION! Risk of damage to the device!
 Never run the shaker without a properly installed platform.
WARNING!
 Do not overfill flasks (i.e., more than 50% of the flask volume).
