Operation
Figure III–6:
Tighten the rotor to the drive shaft
6. Clean and lubricate the rotor trunnion bolts and the two bolt seats on the sides of each bucket
To prevent possible damage to rotor or centrifuge, apply grease (75003786) to the rotor trunnion bolts. This must be
done each time you install buckets. One small drop of grease is necessary for each rotor trunnion bolt. Example: each
highlighted rotor trunnion bolt in the picture needs to be greased.
Figure III–7:
Lubricate trunnion bolts, e.g. HAEMAFlex 12
7. Install an empty bucket in each position. Install buckets with the same weight class on opposing positions. Make sure
that each bucket swings out correctly. They must swing freely on their rotor trunnion bolts.
CAUTION
Always use a full complement of buckets, even if some stay empty.
