Fig. 7: Installing platform
1. Set the mains/power to OFF and unplug the incubator/shaker.
2. Remove the platform screws, then use them to install the platform over the bearing housing.
4.8 Flask clamp installation
Flask clamps purchased for use with the platform require installation. Clamps are installed by
securing the base of the clamp to the platform with the correct type and number of screws. All
clamps are shipped complete with hardware.
Clamps for 2.8-liter Fernbach flasks and 2 L – 4 L Erlenmeyer flasks are shipped with an
additional girdle to keep the flasks in place. The girdle is an assembly of springs and sections of
rubber tubing. One girdle is already in place on the clamp, the other is packed separately.
To install these double girdle clamps:
1. Place the clamp on the platform, aligning its mounting holes with holes on the platform.
Secure the clamp in place using the flat Phillips head screws provided
(#S2116-3051, 10-24 x 5/16-inch).
2. With the first girdle in place, as delivered, on the upper part of the clamp body, insert an
empty flask into the clamp.

2 Allen screws 6 Bearing housing uprights
3 Platform 7 Top shelf, shipped installed
4 Humidity trays
Hint!
The S41i platform requires 10-24 × 5/16-inch Phillips-head screws (which are supplied) to fasten
flask clamps.
With one shelf installed, Erlenmeyer flasks larger than 1 L are too tall for the chamber; to use
2 L – 4 L Erlenmeyer flasks, remove the shelf.
Hint!
Three different types of screws are shipped with the clamps, to identify the proper screws
(see Fig. 8 on p. 16).
