The plate arrangement shown on the right-hand side is incorrect, as the buckets will not swing properly.
The plates have some play in the buckets.
7. Check the loading of the bucket.
5.4.6 Closing the centrifuge lid
1. Check the correct attachment of the rotor and rotor lid.
2. Push down the centrifuge lid until the lid latch engages and the lid is automatically closed.
The centrifuge will close automatically.
The open key lights up blue. The symbol appears in the display.
 Carry out a brief centrifugation test at low speed (e.g., 1000 rpm) when you use a tube or
plate type for the first time.
Only 5430 R: When using the A-2-MTPs, centrifuge without the upper shell of the wind shield
in order to guarantee precise and quick temperature control of samples. Note that the
centrifugation noise will increase slightly in this case.
This does not apply to the S-24-11-AT. The S-24-11-AT must always be operated with a rotor
lid.
WARNING! Risk of injury when opening or closing the centrifuge lid.
There is a risk of crushing your fingers when opening or closing the centrifuge lid.
 When opening or closing the centrifuge lid, do not reach between the lid and device or into
the latching mechanism of the lid.
 Always open the centrifuge lid completely to prevent it from falling.
