bolted onto the motor shaft.
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the lid of the centrifuge and if necessary remove any dust, foreign objects or residue from
the chamber.
AutoLock
™
and
O
-ring must be clean and
undamaged.

2. Hold the rotor over the shaft and let it slide slowly down the shaft.
The rotor clicks automatically into place.
3. Check if the rotor is properly installed by lifting it slightly on the handle. If the rotor can be
pulled up, then it must be reclamped to the shaft.
CAUTION
Unapproved or incorrectly combined accessories can cause serious damage to the
centrifuge.
CAUTION
Do not force the rotor onto the motor shaft.
If the rotor is very light, then it may be necessary to press it onto the shaft with a small
amount of pressure.
WARNING
If the rotor cannot be properly locked in place after several attempts, then the
AutoLock
™
is defective and you are not permitted to operate the rotor.
Check for any damage to the rotor: Damaged rotors must not be used!
Keep the hub area clear of objects.
