What Our Experts Think

• Inspect Regularly: Check the platform, motor, and control panel for any signs of wear, loose parts, or damage. Ensure the unit sits level and stable.
• Clean the Surface: Wipe the shaker platform and exterior with a damp cloth after use. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
• Check the Motion: Ensure the orbital motion is smooth and even. If the shaker wobbles or vibrates excessively, check for misaligned loads or uneven surfaces.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for any lubrication points on the motor or bearings, ensuring smooth, quiet operation.
• Store Safely: When not in use, cover the shaker or store it in a clean, dry area to prevent dust buildup. Avoid placing heavy objects on the platform when idle.
