Upon receiving the Ohaus Heavy Duty or Reciprocating Shaker, check to ensure
that no damage has occurred during shipment. It is important that any damage that
occurred in transport is detected at the time of unpacking. If you do find such damage
the carrier must be notified immediately.
After unpacking, place the shaker on a level bench or table, away from explosive
vapors. Ensure that the surface on which the unit is placed will withstand typical heat
produced by the unit and place the unit a minimum of six (6) inches from vertical
surfaces. Always place the unit on a sturdy work surface.
The Heavy Duty or Reciprocating Shaker is supplied with a power cord that is inserted
into the IEC connector on the back of the unit first, then it can be plugged into a
properly grounded outlet. The 120V unit plugs into a 120 volt, 50/60 Hz source. The
230V unit plugs into a 230 volt, 50/60 Hz source.

& s
ervicing
The Heavy Duty or Reciprocating Shaker is built for long, trouble-free, dependable
service. No lubrication or other technical user maintenance is required. It needs no
user maintenance beyond keeping the surfaces clean. However at least every three
(3) months you should:
• Unplug the unit.
• Remove any accumulated dirt from the base and tray.
• Check all accessible items to make sure they are properly tightened.
The unit should be given the care normally required for any electrical appliance. Avoid
wetting or unnecessary exposure to fumes. DO NOT use a cleaning agent or solvent
on the front panel which is abrasive or harmful to plastics, nor one which is flammable.
Always ensure the power is disconnected from the unit prior to any cleaning. If the unit
ever requires service, contact your Ohaus representative.
These Shakers are intended for general laboratory use.
