DO NOT OPERATE THE CENTRIFUGE AT THIS POINT. The lid on the MX5 centrifuge remains locked while at rest and while spinning. To open the lid while at rest, push the STOP/OPEN button, then press on the lid within 3 seconds to release the lid lock. After 3 seconds, the lid will relock. If power fails, the lid can be manually opened by inserting the Manual Lid Release Tool into the release hole on the front right side and left side of the unit.

If spinning fecals, use the same fecal solution in the balance tube, because water is much lighter than the dense fecal solutions (for Fecal Hints, please contact LW Scientific). Proper balancing will improve sample separation and will extend the life of the centrifuge. Spinning out-of-balance loads may break tubes, and can cause damage to the unit which will not be covered under warranty.

Carefully press and release on the right side and then left side until the lid opens. This may require gently pushing and lifting on the lid as the release key is inserted. If you have questions, contact LW Scientific service.
