Assembling the dispersion tool
(Overview fi g. 5)
- Open the knurled screw (pos. 3) so that the th-
read does not protrude into the hole.
- Insert the dispersing element (pos. 2) from
the bottom into the drive unit (pos. 1) as far
as the stop. The shaft will audibly click into
place when a small amount of force is ap-
plied (sprung ball bearing) - depending on
the type of disperser. The dispersing element
is fi tted correctly if the dispersing element is
fl ush with the bottom edge of the drive unit.

The drive unit is maintenance-free but not immu-
ne from wear. The motor brushes and the coup-
ling wear out over time.
Cleaning
For cleaning disconnect the
main plug.
To clean the drive use only water with a detergent
that contains tensides, or use isopropylalcohol for
stubborn soiling (not for plastic parts).
Dispersion tools: Consider please the manuals
associated to the dispersion tools.
- Do not allow moisture to get into the appliance
when cleaning.
- Wear protective gloves when cleaning the de-
vices.
- Please consult with IKA
cleaning or decontamination methods, other
than those recommended here.
Working with the unit
- Attention: Now secure the dispersing element
by screwing the knurled screw tight (pos. 3).
Refer to the operating instructions for the fi lling
level of the medium and the immersion depth
into the dispersing element used.
The entire unit may also be arranged somewhat
off centre in order to avoid any undesired air ad-
mission caused by the strong rotational turbu-
lence.
By using the turning knob (pos. 10) the speed may
be infi nitely varied to meet the requirements of the
medium to be processed.
The idle speed for the drive unit can be adjusted
in the range 500 and 25,000 rpm; the value will
be shown on the LED display.
