•
Open the centrifuge lid by pressing the lid key.
•
Unscrew the rotor tie-down screw from the motor shaft (counter-
clockwise).
•
Lower the rotor with its central bore straight down onto the motor shaft.
•
Tighten the rotor tie-down screw clockwise with the supplied rotor
wrench with 10 Nm (option: torque spanner 10 Nm, part no. 17060). In
doing so, hold the rotor at its outer rim.
•
Follow the safety instructions and hazard warnings (see chapter 3 -
"Safety")!
When using rotors for microtiter plate formats:
Ensure that the plate holders are inserted together with the plates into the
buckets.
The lid screw serves for the fastening of the lid onto the rotor only, not for
the fastening of the rotor onto the motor shaft.
Removal of a rotor
•
Loosen the rotor tie-down screw by turning it anti-clockwise and remove
the rotor.
•
Only use vessels that are suitable for the rotor (see chapter 11.1 -
"Suitable accessories ").
•
In the case of swing-out rotors, all of the compartments must be
equipped with buckets.
•
Always load rotationally symmetrical compartments of the rotors with
the same accessories and fill to avoid imbalance.
