Table 5-1: Door gap troubleshooting
A If there is an even 1/8 in gap between the centrifuge door and the pump panel, there is no
need to adjust the door latch.
B, C If the centrifuge door is misaligned, proceed to step 2.
D If the gap is too small (less than 3/32 in), verify that the hex screws on both sides of the
pump panel are tight. Make sure you are pulling on the centrifuge door. If the problem
persists, proceed to step 2.
E If the gap is too big (greater than 1/4 in), proceed to step 2.
2. Verify there is no debris on the latches or the latch plate. If there is, clean the latches and latch plate.
Proceed to step 1.
3.
Remove the side panels. See “Removing the Side Panels” on page 5-11.
4. Determine how the latch plate should be adjusted using the following table, but do not make
adjustments until step 7.
Measure the gap between the front door and the pump panel on the left and the right. Use the
following table to determine how to adjust the latch plate.
Tip: Use a 1/8-inch allen wrench as a feeler gauge.
Table 5-2: Latch plate adjustment
Left Side Gap Right Side Gap Adjustment
Less than 3/32 in Less than 3/32 in Loosen all 4 screws (¼ turn) and move entire latch plate so that
more latch plate is sticking further out of the door.
Less than 3/32 in Less than 3/16 in,
but greater than
1/8 in Leave the right screw farthest from the door edge tight, and slightly
(¼ turn) loosen the other three screws that secure the latch plate.
Slowly rotate the latch plate around the tighter screw so that the left
side is sticking farther out of the door.
Less than 3/32 in Greater than 3/16 in Leave the right screw closest to the door edge tight, and slightly (¼
turn) loosen the other three screws that secure the latch plate.
Slowly rotate the latch plate around the tighter screw so that the left
side is sticking farther out of the door.
Less than 3/16 in,
but greater than
1/8 in Less than 3/32 in Leave the left screw farthest from the door edge tight, and slightly
(¼ turn) loosen the other three screws that secure the latch plate.
Slowly rotate the latch plate around the tighter screw so that the
right side is sticking farther out of the door.
