Rotor Removal and Installation
To remove the rotor:
1. Unlock the centrifuge by pushing the “OPEN / EMERGENCY STOP” button, then unlatch and open the lid.
CAUTION:
Unplug the centrifuge from the electrical outlet at this time to eliminate the possibility of electrical shock or
other injury.
2. Remove the test tube holders.
3. Remove the thumb screw in the center of the rotor.
4. Pull up on the rotor until it is clear of the motor shaft.
5. Remove the rotor from the rotor chamber.
To install the rotor:
1. Place the rotor straight down onto the motor shaft, taking care to line up the slot in the bottom of the rotor with the pin
in the motor shaft (see picture). The rotor should slide onto the shaft freely and the rotor should be level.
Be sure that the slot in the underside of the rotor lines up with the pin going through the motor shaft or the centrifuge
may be damaged!
2. Once a proper fit has been achieved, replace the thumb screw and tighten. The thumb screw must be properly
tightened or the rotor may be damaged.
3. Replace the tube holders and verify that they are seated properly.
4. It is recommended that the initial setup procedures on page 5 be performed to ensure that the rotor has been installed
correctly and that no damage has been done to the centrifuge during the rotor installation or chamber cleaning.
The slot in the bottom of the rotor must be aligned
with the pin in the motor shaft!
