2. OPERATION

Clean the drive shaft and the collet with a clean, grease-free piece of cloth. Place the rotor onto the

drive shaft, (see Figure 9). Please be sure that the rotor is fully installed onto the motor shaft.

Figure 9

Hold the rotor with one hand and secure the rotor to the shaft, by turning the fixing nut clockwise.

Tighten the fixing nut with the provided Allen key, (see Figure 10)

Figure 11

ATTENTION: For safety, always ensure that the rotor fixing screw is tightened before

each run, (see Figure 10)!!

Rotors must be loaded symmetrically and with equal weight, (see Figures 12 and 13). The adapter

may only be loaded with the appropriate vessels. The weight differences between the filled vessels

should be kept as low as possible. Therefore, we recommend to weigh with a balance. This reduces

the wear of drive and the acoustic operating noise.

Each rotor indicates what the maximum capacity is per hole. (It is allowed to operate e.g. a 12-place-

rotor with 2 or 4 loaded tubes only, but the loaded borings must be opposite of each other).
