6.1 Rotor Maintenance
The rotor should be cleaned thoroughly after each use. Thorough cleaning must be performed when
spinning samples containing phenol or phenol chloroform. Periodically inspect the rotor for dents,
dings, scratches, discoloration and cracks If any damage to the rotor is found, discontinue use of the
rotor immediately and replace.
6.2 Removing and Installing the Angle Rotor
Remove the rotor screw from the motor shaft by turning the screw counterclockwise. Lift the rotor
upward and remove from the centrifuge.
Ensure that the motor shaft adapter remains on the motor shaft (Figure 1). Clean the motor shaft and
motor shaft adapter (see figure 1).
Place the rotor on the motor shaft (figure 1) and over the motor shaft adapter (see figure 1 and 2).
NOTE: Figure 1 and 2 are located on the following page.
When loading the rotor, refer to figure 3 (located on the following page). Loading in the pattern
indicated will ensure a balanced load. Tubes to be loaded should be filled equally by eye. The difference
in the weight between the tubes should not exceed 2-3 grams. A partially loaded rotor may be
centrifuged if the loading scheme for balancing a rotor given in figure 3 is followed.
