Leveling the Centrifuge

Leveling the Centrifuge
Note The centrifuge spindle is flexible. Therefore the centrifuge must be leveled before using the
first time. Otherwise the centrifuge might fail due to imbalance and damages might occure.
The horizontal leveling of the centrifuge must be checked every time after moving it to a different
location.
Do not move the centrifuge with a rotor attached to the centrifuge spindle as drive damage may
result.
Level the centrifuge as follows:
1. Place the enclosed bubble level on the top surface of the Auto-Lock adapter in the rotor chamber.
2. Adjust the centrifuge feet until the bubble inside the level is completely inside the marked circle.
3. Turn the Auto-Lock adapter with the bubble level around a full 360°.
If 50 % of the bubble remains within the marked area, the leveling of the centrifuge is fine. If more
than 50 % of the bubble leaves the circle marking, the centrifuge must be leveled again.
