Using desired tray, place the tray into the bath, the tray is self
positioning and only needs to be located into the approximate
center of the tank.
The bath is capable of providing an orbital shake or a reciprocating
shake by simple reversing the tray. If an orbital shake is desired,
place the tray into the bath so that the word “Orbital” (which is
stamp onto the tray) is position towards the font of the bath. If a
reciprocating shake is desired, align the tray with the word
“Orbital” towards the rear.
Be certain that the drain hose assembly is removed from the drain
port prior to filling with the tank.
Use water only, fill bath to a minimum of 2” above the base of the
tank and the maximum of 3“ from the top of the tank when the
bath is fully loaded. A lid must be used with the bath at
temperatures above 60°C. After bath is filled with water, connect
the power line cord to the unit.
The power switch is located on the front panel and is used to turn
the unit on and off.
