Unpacking & Set Up
Before Operating
LW Scientific packs each ComboXL centrifuge with utmost care. All units undergo a QC check prior to shipping from LW Scientific
headquarters in Lawrenceville, GA to ensure proper operation. Examine the outer and inner packaging for any visible damage, and
retain the packing material. If there is visible damage, please contact the shipper or your distributor, as our warranty does not cover
shipping damage.
Remove the centrifuge from the box and inspect for possible shipping damage. DO NOT OPERATE THE CENTRIFUGE AT THIS POINT.
Please read and complete the warranty form online at LWScientific.com/warranty_form. The warranty form documents your
purchase. Failure to fill out the warranty form may void any warranty claims on the unit.
Place the centrifuge on a sturdy, level surface. Plug the power cord into the appropriate grounded power outlet.
Turn the power on with the On/Off switch on the right side of the unit. The cooling fan will come on.
Press the POWER button on the front label. The digital display will light up. DO NOT OPERATE THE CENTRIFUGE AT THIS POINT.
To open the lid press the OPEN button. If power fails, the lid can be manually opened by inserting the Manual Lid Release Tool (or a
small screwdriver) into the release hole on the right front side of the unit. On the digital display, the LID OPEN icon will illuminate.
Remove all rotor inserts and packing material from the rotor chamber.
Install one set of 4 rotor inserts into the 4 metal buckets. Make sure that no rotor inserts or other materials remain loose in the bowl.
Make sure that the center rotor screw is tight using the included Rotor Hex Wrench.
