2.4 Centrifuge Installation

Make certain that the time is set for the "off" position. Before operating the centrifuge,
check that the power source corresponds to that on the manufacturer's rating label, then
connect the power cord to a properly grounded outlet.
Attention:
Ensure that the time is in the "OFF" position before connecting the power cord.

3. Operation

Attention:
Never operate the centrifuge if the rotor shows any signs of corrosion or mechanical
damage.
Never operate with strongly corrosive materials.

3.1 Closing the lid

After the rotor has been properly loaded, close the centrifuge lid.

3.2 Lid release

The "lid" button must be pushed to open the lid after a centrifuge run has been
completed.

3.3 Lid lock

The centrifuge can only be started with the lid closed. Do not attempt to open the lid
until the rotor comes to a complete stop.

3.4 Starting the centrifuge

To start the centrifuge select the desired run time by turning the time knob in a
clockwise direction. If performing a continuous run turn the time knob counter clockwise
into the "hold" position.
Once a run time is selected a given speed must be selected in order to start the
centrifuge.
The speed (rpm) can be selected between 1,000 and 4,000rpm by turning the knob to
the 1, 2, 3 and 4 speed marks. To select a speed, turn the speed knob to the 2 position
to activate, then proceed by turning the knob to the desired speed.
At the end of the preselected time, the centrifuge stops automatically. To stop the
centrifuge prior to the selected time, turn the timer knob to the "OFF" position.
