JS-5.3 Swinging-Bucket Rotor
Preparation and Use
2
Carefully lower the rotor straight down onto the centrifuge drive hub.
CAUTION
Carefully lower the rotor yoke straight down onto the drive spindle hub to avoid
bending the drive spindle/hub assembly. Do not drop the rotor onto the hub.
3
Slowly rotate the rotor yoke to make sure it is properly seated.
In rare cases, the rotor pins may rest on top of the hub teeth, preventing the yoke from being
secured to the drive hub.
Turning the yoke slightly after installing it will ensure that the rotor is correctly seated.
Lift the rotor yoke slightly while turning it.
4
Tighten the tie-down knob. The tie-down knob will not engage with the drive hub if the drive
pins are on top of the hub teeth.
WARNING
Securely tighten the tie-down knob to attach the rotor yoke to the centrifuge drive
spindle hub. If the rotor is left in the centrifuge between runs, make sure the rotor
is seated on the drive hub and the tie-down knob is tight before each run.
NOTE
Do not remove the tie-down knob from the rotor.
