the rocker switch to the "Standby" position in the center.
3. When finished with either continuous or intermittent operation, return switch to "Standby" position in the center.
4. The continuous "On" mode is for the larger accessories (insert retainer with foam inserts or ampule tube holders). In continuous "On" mode do not run above
900 rpm.
5. The intermittent "Auto" mode is intended for short mixing times of one minute or less at full speed. A rest period of 2 minutes is recommended to mini-
mize the possibility of overheating the motor. Your Vortex Mixer can become warm to the touch with constant use. There is nothing wrong with it.
At high performance settings the motor (UL recognized component) simply puts out more heat.
IMPORTANT - When using larger accessories, DO NOT run above 900 rpm. UNIT DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.

INTRODUCTION
The Vortexer mixer is used to prepare samples for testing. It operates by mixing tubes just prior to testing.
The 115v and 230v units are supplied with a 3-prong power cord that should be plugged into a standard 3-prong grounded outlet. The unit is now
on and in a "standby" mode.
Your Vortexer mixer is ready for use for most one-handed applications. To install the cup head or 3" head attachment, follow these steps:
a. Be sure the Vortexer mixer is un-plugged.
b. Place cup-head on post, aligning the "flat" inside of the head mounting hole, with "flat" on post.
c. Press center of head down firmly until it snaps into place.
d. To remove an installed head, hold housing with one hand and pull head straight up firmly.
For intermittent operation, push switch to "Auto" position. For continuous operation, push switch to "On" position.
In the "Auto" position, the vessel you are using must be pushed down to achieve motion. To get the desired mix, vary the speed of the motor and/or
the angle of contact and pressure against the mixing head.
