Maintaining Isolation Springs
Isolation springs isolate the skid and immediate surroundings from the vibratory motion of the motors and shaker
basket. Their condition is vital to the performance of the Shale Shaker.

Inspecting Springs
Examine each spring for signs of fatigue or fracture every 3 months. Perform additional examinations if the
shaker basket is tilting side-to-side or cuttings are running to one side of the basket.
TIP
SPRINGS ARE COVERED WITH A PROTECTIVE BLACK NITRILE BOOT THAT
PROVIDES A SAFETY PRECAUTION AGAINST BARE SPRINGS, WHICH ARE A
POTENTIAL PINCH POINT (REFER TO FIGURE 32).
•
Check for spring fatigue by leveling the basket and measuring the height of each spring.
