Clean the drive shaft and the collet with a clean, grease-free piece of cloth. Place the rotor onto the

drive shaft, (see Figure12). Please be sure that the rotor is fully installed onto the motor shaft.

Figure12

Loading of the buckets must be done in accordance to Figure15.

It is allowed to operate e.g. a 4-place-rotor with 2 loaded buckets only. The loaded buckets must be

opposite of each other. Make sure that the unloaded buckets are placed inside the rotor.

In principle, the swing out rotor is not allowed to be operated, until all buckets are placed inside the

rotor. The bolts of the rotor must be greased with the HERMLE Lubricating grease

(Order No. 38-5656). The sample tubes have to be filled evenly, by eye, and set into the buckets.

The weight difference of the loaded buckets should not exceed 1.0 g.
