Inserting the rotor
Possible damage to drive and rotor!
You may insert the rotor only if the
temperature of the drive, the rotor and
the cap nut is between 10 °C and
30 °C.
The rotor approved for the
Biofuge haemo is shown in
the chapter "Accessories". Check whether the rotor you
want to insert corresponds to the figure in this chapter.
To insert the rotor, you need the rotor, the cap nut and
the tubular socket wrench supplied (see chapter "Ac-
cessories – pieces delivered").
Possible damage to drive and rotor!
Do not push down the rotor by force. If
you cannot screw on the cap nut eas-
ily, remove the rotor and reinsert it.
To put the rotor into position, proceed as follows
1. Open the lid and make sure that the rotor chamber
is clean. Remove eventual dust, foreign material or
sample residues. The thread and the O-ring on the
motor shaft must be in perfect condition.
2. Turn the rotor so that the notch for engaging the
drive shaft points downward.
3. Place the rotor on top of the drive shaft so that the
notch of the rotor is located precisely above the re-
taining pin.
4. Push the rotor gently down until the thread is com-
pletely laid bare (see figure).
