Figure 4. Auto-Lock
2. Place the rotor over the centrifuge spindle and let it slide slowly down the centrifuge spindle.
The rotor clicks automatically into place.
CAUTION Do not force the rotor onto the centrifuge spindle.
If the rotor is very light, then it may be necessary to press it onto the centrifuge spindle with a
bit of pressure.
3. Check if the rotor is properly installed by lifting it slightly on the handle. If the rotor can be pulled
up, then it must be reclamped to the centrifuge spindle.
WARNING If the rotor cannot be properly locked in place after several attempts, then the
Auto-Lock is defective and you are not permitted to operate the rotor.
Check for any damage to the rotor: Damaged rotors must not be used.
Keep the centrifuge spindle area of the rotor clear of objects.
CAUTION Check that the rotor is properly locked on the centrifuge spindle before each
use by pulling it at its handle.
4. If available close the rotor with the rotor lid.
Be sure to check all sealings before starting any aerosol-tight applications.
See the information in the rotor instruction manual.
5. Close the centrifuge lid.
