Paddle and Basket Installation
Paddle Blade Installation
1. Carefully screw a paddle blade onto bottom of each shaft. Assemble finger-
tight.
Do not grasp basket by mesh screen when installing
or removing. ALWAYS GRASP BASKETS BY UPPER
RIM. Proper handling will prevent basket distortion
and RESULTING wobble.
Basket Installation
1. Carefully screw a basket adapter onto the bottom of each shaft. Assemble
finger-tight. (See Figure 2-8).
2. Vessel pre-heat may be performed at a higher RPM depending on test
parameters. Baskets are not installed during pre-heat.
3. Always place a tablet or capsule into a dry, empty basket before the test.
4. When the vessel stabilizes at test temperature, lift the shaft out of the vessel.
5. Place the basket, open end up, in palm with thumb and fingers grasping
knurled grip. (See Caution above.)
6. Raise basket until inside of the upper ring just contacts the O-ring shown in
Figure 2-8.
7. Twist and push the basket onto the adapter.
8. When removing the basket, grasp only on the knurled grip. Pull down and
twist.
Upon completion of each test, rinse baskets and
shafts thoroughly with distilled water. DO NOT
ALLOW ACIDS OR BUFFERS TO DRY ON THE METAL
SURFACES.
Handle paddle blades and optional baskets carefully to
avoid bending or damage. Store carefully in original
container to prevent damage.
