Orbital Shakers 3-1 Thermo Scientific
Section 3
Maintenance
Models 416 and 430 Orbital Shakers use a brushless DC motor and
oversized, permanently-lubricated bearings that require no maintenance.
The anodized brushed aluminum platform and powder-coated steel cabinet
surfaces can be cleaned by wiping with a mild detergent and water.
However, liquids should not be allowed to enter the shaker cabinet from
under the platform. All spills should be cleaned up immediately. If
necessary, remove the platform. Follow the cleaning procedures below.
Refer to Section 1, “Installing the Platform”, of this manual when
reinstalling the platform.
The microprocessor control panel uses sealed pushbuttons and a liquid
crystal display, and may be cleaned by wiping with laboratory detergents
and drying with a soft cloth.
If an accidental spill places liquids or other materials under the platform,
immediately turn the unit off, unplug it, and remove the platform with the
T-handle wrench supplied with the unit. Clean up the spill, following
regular laboratory procedures.
Replace the platform following the procedures in Section 1.
Caution If the spill has entered the shaker cabinet through the operating
mechanism opening beneath the platform, follow the “Major Spill
Cleaning Procedure” in Section 4 of this manual.
