Rotor Installation, Loading and
Balancing
Install, load, and balance the rotor according to the instructions
given in the rotor instruction manual.
W A R N I N G
If maximum compartment
mass is exceeded, the maximum
speed must be lowered (see Reduc-
ing Speed for Rotor Compartment
Loads in Excess of Design Mass,
page 4-13). Failure to do so can cause
rotor failure which could result in per-
sonal injury or centrifuge damage.

1 Values reflect the centrifuge's calculation rounding, are based on the rotor's maximum radius, and do not consider any tube, bottle or adapter
geometry.
2 Maximum allowable at maximum speed (see Reducing Speed for Rotor Compartment Loads in Excess of Design Mass, page 4-13).
3 Value includes the mass of the bucket or carrier.
