Possible damage to drive and rotor!
You may insert the rotor only if the
temperature of the drive, the rotor and
the cap nut is between 10 °C and
30 °C.
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the lid and make sure that the rotor chamber
and the rotor are clean. Remove eventual dust, for-
eign material or sample residues. The thread and
the O-Ring on the motor shaft must be in perfect
condition.
2. Turn the rotor so that the notch for engaging the
drive shaft points downward.
3. Place the rotor on top of the drive shaft so that the
notch of the rotor is located precisely above the re-
taining pin.
