Rotor Installation
Use only the rotors with approved accessories.
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the door of the centrifuge and if necessary remove any dust, foreign objects or residue from
the chamber.
Thread and o-ring must be clean and undamaged.
2. Hold the rotor over the centrifuge spindle.
3. Let the rotor slide slowly down the centrifuge spindle.
4. Thread the fastening tool into the centrifuge spindle clockwise. Hold the rotor with the other hand
into position.
5. Check if the rotor is properly installed by lifting it slightly on the handle.
6. If available, close the rotor with the rotor lid.
Removing the Rotor
To remove the rotor, proceed as follows:
1. Open the centrifuge door.
2. Thread the fastening tool in the centrifuge spindle counter-clockwise. Hold the rotor with the
other hand into position.
3. At the same time, pull the rotor directly upwards with both hands and remove it from the
centrifuge spindle. Make sure not to tilt the rotor while doing this operation.
CAUTION
Unapproved or incorrectly combined accessories can cause serious damage to
the centrifuge.
CAUTION
Do not force the rotor onto the centrifuge spindle.
WARNING
Check for any damage to the rotor: Damaged rotors must not be used.
Keep the centrifuge spindle area of the rotor clear of objects.
CAUTION
Check that the rotor is properly locked on the centrifuge spindle before each use
by pulling it at its handle.
