Installation of the Orbital Shaker

3.1 Unpacking
Before starting the installation, carefully examine the shaker for possible damage or missing parts.

  • Open the box and carefully remove the padding. Check that the shaker has not been visibly damaged during transportation. Keep the packing material until you ensure that the shaker works properly.
  • Carefully lift the device out of the box.
  • Be sure that the following information is included on the serial label located on the back of the unit: serial number, catalog number, electrical rating.
  •  Check that the power cord plug has a pin configuration that matches a wall socket according to the local standard.

Should any kind of damage have occurred during transportation, contact the carrier immediately. The carrier is responsible for shipping damage.
3.2 Selecting the Location

  • Put the shaker on a horizontal, leveled, and stable surface.
  • Leave enough space around the shaker for normal air circulation (6 in./15 cm minimum).
  • Leave enough space around the shaker for easy access and maintenance.
  • Avoid locations subject to shocks and vibrations.
  • Avoid locations subject to frequent power fluctuations or power losses, as this may affect shaker performance.

Select a location that is dry and not subject to drafts or moving air from heating or air conditioning vents or air blown by other equipment. Plug the unit into a properly grounded outlet.
3.3 Attaching the Power Cord
Connect the main power cord to the shaker and then connect the plug end of the cord to a grounded wall socket. Avoid lines to which powerful electric motors, refrigerators, and similar devices are connected.
Be careful when you plug the cord to a grounded wall socket. Do not touch the plug with wet hands. Do not pull the plug by the cord.
