6.6 Replacing the Rubber Columns8530 ShatterboxTo replace the rubber columns (Diagram A, item 7) first remove the older columns by removingthe retaining screws (Diagram A, item 26) that hold them, and pulling the old columns fromtheir sockets. Then place the new columns in those sockets and check and adjust the clearancebetween the eccentric and coupling arms as mentioned above. Once the correct clearance isestablished, drill holes through the new columns to allow insertion of the retaining pins.6.6 Changing the FusesIf the Shatterbox will not operate when the start button is pressed, it is possible that one orboth of the fuses may have blown. To access the fuses, first remove the power cord from theback of the Shatterbox. Then open the door on the fuse compartment by gently prying it openat the top and flipping it down. Use a small screwdriver to gently pry the red fuse holder out ofthe compartment, as shown in Figure 3. Remove the fuses and check them using a continuitytester. If either fuse is blown or defective, replace both with 3AG 10-amp, 230V slow-blowfuses for the 115V model, or 3AG 5-amp, 230V slow-blow fuses for the 230V model. Positionthe fuse holder such that the appropriate operating voltage appears on top. Return the fuseholder to the fuse compartment and close the access door. Check the window of the fusecompartment to make sure that it shows the appropriate voltage. If not, the fuse holder isupside down and must be turned around before attempting to operate the Shatterbox.PLEASE NOTE: If you have any questions about the operation and maintenance of your8530 Shatterbox, please contact our specialists by phone at 1-800 LAB-SPEX(522-7739) or 732-549-7144, or by e-mail at sampleprep@spexcsp.com.Page 19 of 28 SPEX SamplePrep LLC January 2010
