The centrifuge is equipped with a Thermo Scientific TM Auto-Lock
TM
locking system.
This system is used to automatically lock the rotor to the centrifuge spindle. The rotor does not have to
be bolted on to the centrifuge spindle.
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the lid of the centrifuge and if necessary, remove any dust, foreign objects or residue from the
chamber.
Auto-Lock and O-ring must be clean and undamaged.

2. Place the rotor over the centrifuge spindle and let it slide slowly down the centrifuge spindle.
The rotor clicks automatically into place.
3. Check if the rotor is properly installed by lifting it slightly on the handle. If the rotor can be pulled
up, then it must be reclamped to the centrifuge spindle.
CAUTION
Unapproved or incorrectly combined accessories can cause serious damage to
the centrifuge.
CAUTION
Do not force the rotor onto the centrifuge spindle.
If the rotor is very light, then it may be necessary to press it onto the centrifuge spindle
with a bit of pressure.
WARNING
If the rotor cannot be properly locked in place after several attempts, then the
Auto-Lock is defective and you are not permitted to operate the rotor.
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.
