Initial Startup and Normal Operation
1.
Use only units, equipment, accessories, and spare parts
released by the company Sartorius Stedim Biotech
GmbH for use with the shaker.
2.
Check all components for damage, especially glass
components such as jars. Any damaged components
must not be used.
3.
Never use the shaker without the tray. Switch the unit
off before installing/uninstalling trays, mounting sets,
or additional accessories.
4.
When mounting the trays, leave enough space between
the unit and other objects, especially in case of trays
extending over or beyond the shaker table or bench.
Make sure that trays are properly installed and
fastened.
5.
Fasten the tray mountings and accessories properly.
Distribute loads evenly on the tray when loading the
shaker with the shaking vessels (Erlenmeyer flasks,
bottles, etc.).
6.
In case of incubation shaking cabinets, make sure the
tray is firmly positioned; close the doors before starting
the shaking process.
7.
Before starting the shaker and during normal
operation, check that the vessels are firmly positioned
in their holders. The vessels must not become loose,
rattle, or touch one another or the walls of the shaker.
Switch the unit off immediately if vessels become loose
in their holders.
8.
Operate the equipment only within the permitted range
of operating parameters. Comply with the equipment
instructions and the technical data.

Head the lateral movement of the trays and the
resulting impact or crushing hazards, especially with
large trays, in case of low clearances to other equipment
or objects or large amplitudes and heavy loads.
Never put fingers between tray support and frame when
the unit is active. The space between these components
is narrow due to constructional constraints. Risk of
injury!
9.
After switching off the shaker, wait until the shaker
support has come to a completel standstill before
removing or adding vessels.
