6.2.2.1 Installation of the rotor
• Open the centrifuge lid by pressing the lid key.
• Unscrew the rotor tie-down screw from the motor shaft (counter-
clockwise).
• Lower the rotor with its central bore straight down onto the motor shaft.
• Tighten the rotor tie-down screw clockwise with the supplied rotor
wrench with 7.5 Nm. In doing so, hold the rotor at its outer rim.
WARNING
Once a day or after 20 cycles, the rotor tie-down screw must be loosened
by some turns, and the rotor must be lifted and fastened again. This
ensures a proper connection between the rotor and the motor shaft.
CAUTION
When using rotors for microtiter plate formats:
Ensure that the plate holders are inserted together with the plates into the
buckets.
NOTE
The lid screw serves for the fastening of the lid onto the rotor only, not for
the fastening of the rotor onto the motor shaft.
• Follow the safety instructions and hazard warnings (see chapter 3 -
"Safety")!

6.2.2.2
Installation of angle rotors with a hermetically sealed lid
• Screw the rotor cover onto the rotor and tighten it.
• Lower the rotor with the cover onto the motor shaft .
• Insert the rotor tie-down screw into the motor shaft. Tighten the rotor tie-
down screw with 7.5 Nm using the supplied rotor wrench so that the
spring washer assembly is compressed tightly.
• The rotor can also be used without a cover.
• The rotors can be installed or removed with a closed lid after loosening
the rotor tie-down screw.
• Follow the safety instructions and hazard warnings (see chapter 3 -
"Safety")!
