8.1 Platform assemblies
The Innova 44/44R can be used with a variety of Eppendorf platforms that will accept a wide
range of clamps for flasks, test tubes, etc. A platform, which is required for operation, is a
separate item, not included with the shaker assembly. For details on available platforms and
platform accessories, (see Accessories on p. 58).
8.2 Installation of platform
Prior to use, a subplatform and platform must be installed on the unit. The shaker is shipped with
four Allen head platform screws installed in the bearing housing, see Figure below which also
shows the subplatform that you must install (see Fig. 14 on p. 32).

Fig. 14: Install Subplatform
1. Remove the Allen head platform screws, setting them aside.
2. Place the subplatform onto the bearing housing, taking care to orient it as shown (see Fig. 14
on p. 32), with the notches and the lever toward the front of the shaker, lever facing up.
3. Align the subplatform holes with the tapped holes in the bearing housing, then secure the
subplatform with the Allen head platform screws you previously removed.
To install the slide-out platform you have purchased:
Hint!
In transit, there are two small plastic straps on the side of the bearing housing to secure the
slide-out mechanism and two small plastic straps that immobilize the bearing housing; all straps
must be removed.
Hint!
When you cut the bearing housing straps, be particularly careful not to cut the wiring that is in
close proximity to the straps.
