Unpacking and Installation
Electrical
Requirements
SHKA4000 and SHKE4000 Series shakers require a 120VAC, 60 Hz power source. They are supplied with a 3-wire line cord and should be plugged into an outlet designed for 3-prong plugs. If an extension cord is used, it also should be the 3-wire grounded type. For an outlet designed to accept 2-prong plugs (ungrounded), it is required that a qualified electrician replaces the outlet with a new, grounded type.
SHKA4000-1CE and SHKE4000-1CE Series shakers require a 220­240VAC, 50/60 Hz power source. Power cords are supplied.
If a plug must be installed, use only the 3-prong grounded type, rated for the unit load requirements and matching the power outlet. Make sure the green ground wire is secured to the plug ground terminal.
To eliminate hazard of electrical shock, make sure floor around shaker is dry. In the event of accidental spilling or splashing of liquids, clean up and/or neutralize the spilled liquids before continuing.
Disconnect the shaker from the power source when not in use.
Warning Do not operate shaker with a damaged electrical cord.
s
Platform Installation
1. Select the appropriate platform for the vessels to be shaken. A wide variety of platforms and accessories are available:
• Dedicated platforms have the maximum number of flask clamps
attached for safe operation.
• Combination platforms allow the user to shake a wide variety of

Unpacking and Installation
Flask Clamp
Installation
Each flask clamp contains a support spring located at the narrow top of the clamp.
Depending on the size of the clamp, the clamp base may contain one or several screws necessary to secure the clamp to the platform. All screws provided with the clamp must be properly attached to the platform.
1. Carefully place the desired vessel in the clamp by first pulling the clamp spring far enough apart to enable the flask base to be positioned inside the clamp. Gently slide the flask into its proper position securing it to the wider bottom of the clamp. The spring will hold the neck of the flask securely in place and provide security during shaking.
2. Make sure all vessels are securely clamped before turning on unit.
Wherever possible, vessels should contain a stopper to prevent hazardous substances being thrown out during the mixing action.
Warning Do not operate the shaker at speeds that will cause the contents of vessels to be thrown out.

Operation
Optional
Refrigeration System
This section applies only to units supplied with this option. The refrigeration system on the A and E series shakers are identical in operation. Refer to Replacement Parts for refrigeration replacement parts.
When the unit power is on, refrigeration can be initiated by turning ON the refrigeration switch which is located to the left of the defrost timer on the lower right side panel of the shaker cabinet. This should be initiated (turned on) only when a temperature set point of approximately 32°C or less is required (based on your ambient temperatures). Both the main power switch and the refrigeration switch need to be ON for the refrigeration system to work. When the refrigeration switch is activated, the compressor system will run continuously and the system will go through the following routine:
Upon every activation
of the refrigeration switch to the ON position, there is an approximate 2-minute delay until the compressor becomes activated. This is a safety feature, to prevent damage to the compressor in the case of quickly switching the refrigeration switch off and on again. Because the compressor does not turn on immediately after switching the refrigeration switch to on, please note, THIS IS NORMAL. The defrost timer will begin initiation. This may turn the fans off for several minutes until it completes a normal defrost cycle.
During operation, the defrost timer will automatically “engage” every 4 hours, switching cold gas through the evaporator (inside) coils to hot gas in order to defrost the coils. There is a dedicated sensor inside the coils which will terminate the defrost when the temperature reaches a point where it is assured that there is no ice or frost on the coil. At low set point temperatures (i.e. 5°C), this defrost time will be longer than higher set point temperatures (i.e. 25°C), which may initiate and terminate immediately because the coils will be much warmer at higher set point temperatures.

1. Take out the 2 motor mount screws and lift the motor out.
2. Two brushes are located under plastic caps on opposite sides of the lower part of the motor. Unscrew the plastic caps and slide the brushes out. Replace brushes when they are worn down to 3/16" (0.48 cm) in length.
3. Belt tension is automatically set by the location of the motor and is not adjustable.
4. To align a pulley, loosen the motor pulley set screws, slide the pulley up or down into alignment then securely tighten the motor pulley set screws.
Washing: Clean with a solution of mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Use a clean soft cloth, applying only light pressure. Rinse with clean water and blot dry with a damp cloth or chamois.
Grease, oil, or tar may be removed with a good grade of hexane, aliphatic naphtha, or kerosene. These solvents may be obtained at a paint or hardware store and should be used in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.
Caution Do not use or solvents such as acetone, gasoline, benzene, alcohol, carbon tetrachloride, or lacquer thinner. These can scratch the sheet’s surface and/or weaken the sheet causing small surface cracks called “crazing.”
Dusting: Remove dust with a soft, damp cloth or chamois. Avoid dry or gritty cloths as they may cause surface scratches and create a static electric charge on the surface causing dust to cling to the lid.
Polishing: Protect the lid and maintain its surface gloss by occasional polishing with a good plastic cleaner and polish. Apply a thin, even coat with a soft clean cloth and polish slightly with cotton flannel. Then wipe with a damp cloth to help eliminate electrostatic charges that can attract dust particles.
Use of proper cleaning agents: When selecting a cleaning or decontamination agent, use the following table as a guideline.
