Rotor Installation
The approved rotors for the Newton Scientific EVO 10
are listed in section “Rotor Selection” on page
12. Use only the rotors from this list in the centrifuge.
CAUTION
Unapproved or incorrectly combined accessories can cause serious damage to the centrifuge.
Use the supplied tools to tighten or release the rotor from the centrifuge spindle.
Proceed as follows:
1.
Open the centrifuge door and if necessary, remove any dust, foreign objects, or residue from
the chamber.
2.
Place the rotor over the centrifuge spindle and lower vertically and slowly down the
centrifuge spindle. Use the locking nut provided to tighten the rotor onto the spindle. Hand
tight is sufficient.
CAUTION:
Do not over tighten the rotor onto the centrifuge spindle.
3.
Check if the rotor is properly installed by lifting it slightly on the handle or from beneath the
rotor. If the rotor can be pulled up, then it must be adjusted and retighten to the centrifuge
spindle.
WARNING:
If the rotor cannot be properly secured in place. Check for any damage to
the rotor and the spindle: Damaged rotors must not be used. Keep the centrifuge spindle
area of the rotor clear of objects.
If in doubt, please contact Newton Scientific Technical support.
CAUTION:
Check that the rotor is properly locked on the centrifuge spindle before
each use by pulling it from beneath the rotor. The rotor must be locked tight.
4.
Close the centrifuge door.
