MAINTENANCE

NOTICE: FAILURE TO FOLLOW MAINTENANCE PROCE-

DURES VOIDS WARRANTY.

1. Wipe paint spills immediately. Accumulations of paint may 

detract from your Shaker’s performance and 

reliability.

2. Check and tighten all fasteners periodically.

3. Periodically examine cords and wiring for damage.     

Damaged cords must be immediately replaced.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Thread the clamping screw (P/N 51069) with the lock nut 

attached through the bar as shown. Install this into the hold-

down bar by inserting it through the hole while simultane-

ously pushing in the locking pin.

2. Insert the can as shown, then turn the clamping screw  

until the hold-down bar securely clamps the can, making  

sure the nut remains free on the screw.

3. After the can is clamped, then turn the lock nut down the 

screw until it tightens against the bar.

HINT: To make sure that the nut is tight, simultaneously give 

both the nut and the screw an extra 1/4 turn.

4. The motor is started by rotating the timer switch. Turn 

past the desired time by 2 minutes, then set timer. Due to the  

varying states of unmixed paint, it is impossible to give specific 

mixing times for your paint, however, a little experience will 

soon show how quickly your particular paint can be mixed.
