Please make certain that the platform surface on which the attachment is placed is clean and leveled. If the attachment is screwed together with an adjacent piece of equipment (i.e. if it is integrated into a system) it should be noted during operation that dynamic forces may arise as a result of unfavorable loading circumstances and the position of the center of gravity. This may cause the adjacent equipment to vibrate or may cause the table to vibrate uncontrollably. If you notice that the device is running unevenly, in that case, consider lowering the speed till the irregularities fade out. Make sure that individual attachment vessels are placed in the middle of the attachment and that multiple vessels are evenly placed on the attachment. Also, ensure that all the vessels are firmly fastened on the attachment.

• Hold for 1 minute then
• 300 RPM shaking in counterclockwise direction for4 minutes and so on.
• This kind of specific shaking is achieved using program mode or program section.
• There is a total of 6 Programs available from Pl to P6. Each of these programs has 9 sub-program from Sl to S9 and a Loop mode for continuous or repetitive operation.

OPERATION

Program mode Flow chart. Each Program has 9 different Sub-Programs and all 9 sub-programs can have different speed and time values. Looping of each program can be done using Loop Button.
