Translation of the original operating manual
When using rotors for microtiter plate formats: Ensure that the plate
holders are inserted together with the plates into the bucket.
Follow the safety instructions and hazard warnings in chapter 3!
6.1.3.2
Installation of Accessories
Only use inserts that are suitable for the rotor (see 11.1 "Suitable
Accessories").
All four buckets of the swing-out rotor need to be installed when
spinning.
Always load the opposite inserts/buckets of the rotors with the
same accessories and fill to avoid imbalance.
Centrifugation with different tube sizes:
Working with different tube sizes is possible. In this case, however, it
is very important that opposite inserts are identical (see Fig. 6.2).
Centrifugation with low capacity: The tubes must be installed
symmetrically so that the buckets and their inserts are loaded evenly
(see Fig. 6.3).
