•
Clean the motor shaft (C) and the rotor drilling (A), and lightly grease the motor shaft
afterwards. Dirt particles between the motor shaft and the rotor hinder a perfect seating
of the rotor and cause an irregular operation.
•
Place the rotor vertically on the motor shaft. The driver areas (D) of the motor shaft
must be located in the groove (B) of the rotor. The alignment of the groove is labelled
on the rotor.
•
Tighten up the clamping nut of the rotor by turning it clockwise by hand.
•
Check the rotor for firm seating.
•
Loosening the rotor: Loosen the tensioning nut by turning anti-clockwise. Turn the
tensioning nut until the rotor is able to be lifted from the motor shaft.
10 Arming the rotor
•
Always fill the centrifuge containers outside the centrifuge.
•
Ensure, by eye, that the containers are filled to a uniform level.
•
Load positions located opposite one another equally.
•
Ensure that the rotor is correctly positioned and secured.
•
The weight of the permissible filling quantity is specified on each rotor. This weight may not be exceeded.
