SPD130DLX will automatically disengage. Do not attempt to
open the lid unless the unit is plugged in.
Note:
The SPD130DLX Concentrator is an important
component in a complete concentration system that should
also include a refrigerated vapor trap and a vacuum pump
along with other applicable accessories. Please refer to
operating instructions of each component for details on
usage.
Rotor installation.
Open the lid of the rotor chamber.
Visually align the pin on the drive shaft with the groove on the
bottom of the rotor. Carefully lower the rotor onto the drive
shaft. Rotate the rotor by hand to ensure alignment of the pin
with the groove. Secure the assembly by screwing the
retaining knob into the drive shaft above the rotor. Tighten it
firmly but not excessively.

CAUTION:
Load the rotor and close the lid.
Always balance rotor loads. An imbalanced rotor

bearings and equipment. Load the rotor
symmetrically. There need not be a tube in each
holder, but the load must be evenly distributed.
When using a rotor with aluminum tube holders,
insert all the tube holders.
