1. Start the machine and listen for clattering. If there is a clattering noise, go back to the
“How to Adjust the Springs” section. If there is no noise, proceed with the following
directions.
2. First, adjust all springs as necessary until the mid-plate moves in a uniform matter while
the machine is on. To do this, check for a few things. If one side moves more than the
other, the front spring on the side and its opposite spring needs to be backed off and the
spring set that moves more needs to be tightened. Refer to previous sections, “How to
Back Off the Springs” and “How to Adjust the Springs” to do this. You may proceed to
the next step when the mid-plate moves uniformly.
3. Turn on the machine and pay attention to the platform’s side to side movement. If the
machine moves more than
⁷⁄8
” on both sides, tighten all springs
¹/

turn. If it moves less
than

” on both sides, back off all springs
¹/
8
turn. You will know that the shaker is
properly adjusted if there is no clattering, the mid-plate moves uniformly, and the
mid-plate moves
³/
