5 Operation
5.1 Starting the E-1
WARNING!
Make sure the speed dial is set to 0 % before turning on the power.
1. Verify that the SPEED DIAL is set to 0 %.
The shaker is turned on or off by the ON/OFF POWER SWITCH located on the rear panel of
the unit, not by the 0% setting of the SPEED DIAL. The 0% setting is the minimum speed at
which the shaker operates. We recommend starting and stopping the shaker at this speed.
2. Set the ON/OFF POWER SWITCH on the side of unit to the ON position.. The shaker will start shaking
at its minimum speed.
3. Adjust speed as desired.
15
The graduations around the SPEED DIAL are for reference only. They do not correspond to
specific speeds or any particular percent of maximum speed.
5.2 Stopping the Shaker
To stop the shaker:
1. Turn the SPEED DIAL to the zero position.
2. Set the ON/OFF switch on the side of unit to the OFF position. The shaker will stop shaking.
5.3 Power failure
In the event of a power failure, the Excella E-1 is equipped with an automatic restart function. If the shaker
was in operation at the time of the power interruption, the shaker will begin to operate at its last setpoint.
