MaxQ 5000 Shaker

Section 4
Unpacking and Installation
Models SHKA5000-1CE, SHKA5000-8CE, SHKE5000-1CE and
SHKE5000-8CE shakers require a 220-240VAC 50/60 Hz power source.
Power cords are supplied.
If a plug must be installed, use only the 3-prong grounded type, rated for
the unit load requirements and matching the power outlet. Make sure the
green ground wire is secured to the plug ground terminal.
To eliminate hazard of electrical shock, make sure floor around shaker is
dry. In the event of accidental spilling or splashing of liquids, clean up
and/or neutralize the spilled liquids before continuing.
Disconnect unit from the power source when not in use.
Warning
Do not operate shaker with a damaged electrical cord.
s
In order for this shaker to function safely, the feet must be adjusted before
use so that all four feet are in good contact with the floor, and reasonably
level.
Warning
A shaker with poorly adjusted feet will be unstable and possibly
dangerous.
s
Warning
Check shaker to make sure it is level. If not, adjust shaker feet
until shaker is level.
s
It is very important that this unit have the feet adjusted in the position in
which it will be used, and if moved, must be re-adjusted in the new
location before use. This will help prevent the unit from ‘walking’ at
higher speeds and loads. To accomplish this, proceed as follows:
1. Set all four feet to a height that will allow any casters present to be
clear of the floor, and so that they are the same distance from the
bottom of the sheet metal cabinet.
2. Tighten the jam nuts on the two rear feet to the bottom of the cabinet.
This will lock the rear feet.
3. Check the unit for rocking. Run the unit slowly. If it rocks, one of the
front feet is not in contact with the floor. Using a 3/4” (1.9 cm) open
end wrench, adjust the non-contacting front foot downward so that it
makes good contact with the floor. This can be easily accomplished
with the unit slowly running, since the foot being adjusted is
intermittently off the floor.
