Roto-Shake Genie® Operating Instructions

The Roto-Shake Genie is designed to provide rotating, rocking, and orbital
shaking in one compact, durable and user-friendly unit. A magnetic stainless
steel platform easily converts from rocking to rotating, and securely holds a
non-skid metal rocker tray, various spring-clip mounting plates and bag
mounting strips. An optional orbital shaker attachment (3-D or Horizontal)
transforms the unit into an orbital shaker. Rotating and rocking speeds can
be easily adjusted with the fingertip speed control knob.

APPLICATIONS

The stainless steel platform (200 x 340mm / 8 x 13.5in) is magnetized to
securely hold various sample types and sizes. The following attachments are
supplied with the Roto-Shake Genie:

1 non-skid metal rocker tray (305 x 305mm / 12 x 12in)
4 magnetic stainless steel bag mounting strips
1 clip plate for 12 each 10-13mm tubes
1 clip plate for 6 each 15-17mm tubes
1 clip plate for 3 each 28-30mm tubes

Additional attachments are available (listed under "Roto-Shake Genie
Accessories") to provide maximum application versatility and can be
purchased through most laboratory equipment distributors or visit www.
scientificindustries.com.

The Roto-Shake Genie is ideal for mixing or washing of any sample type in
life science, chemical, clinical/hospital, food, cosmetic, or environmental labo­ratories and can withstand temperatures from 0°C to 38°C to allow operation
in cold rooms and incubators.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

We recommend that you retain your original packaging for 90 days in case

must first be assembled (see fig. 1). Unscrew the lock shaft (D) from
the right side of the housing (E) and remove it from the hole.

2. Affix the platform (B) into the housing with the hex hole (J) facing left,
and the lock release (A) facing right, as shown. Rotate the platform to
line up the hex shaft (I) with the hex hole and slide it onto the hex shaft.
