2. OPERATION
2.1 Starting up

Attach the power cord and place the power switch into the on “l” position.

Open the lid and load your samples into the included rotor. Always ensure a balanced load
(Please see the following section,
Loading the Rotor , for details.)

Close the lid, the rotor quickly accelerates to the maximum speed of 5500 rpm.

When the desired run time is completed, push on the lid tab to open the lid, the rotor quickly
brakes to a stop and the samples can be retrieved.
ATTENTION: Never attempt to remove samples until the rotor has come to a complete stop.
ATTENTION:
Do not operate the centrifuge with rotors or buckets which show any signs of
corrosion or mechanical damage.
Do not operate with extremely corrosive substances, which could damage the rotor
and unit.
2.2 Loading rotor
Rotors must be load symetrically and with equal weight (see figure 1). The adapter may only be load
with the appropriate vessels. The weight differences between the filled vessels are as low as
possible to keep. Therefore we recommend to weighting with a balance. This reduces the wear of
drive and the acoustic operating noise.
