PRELIMINARY
4.1 Placing the Mice on the Rotor
We recommend that the rotor is set in motion before placing the mice in position ; or
else, by the time the last mouse is in place, the first may well be facing the wrong
direction and is therefore likely to fall immediately when the drum starts rotating.
Start the rotor at the selected speed and then place the mice, one by one, in their
respective lanes, at the same time
resetting the related counter to zero, by lifting the
corresponding trip plate .
