5.8.4 QuickLock
Aerosol-tight rotors FA-45-48-11, FA-45-30-11, FA-45-24-11-Kit, FA-45-16-17 and S-24-11-AT have a quick
lock for the rotor lid (QuickLock).
Rotors FA-45-30-11 and FA-45-24-11-Kit have been redesigned and are now only available with a quick
lock (QuickLock) instead of a rotor lid thread.
Closing the rotor lid
1. Check the correct positioning of the external sealing ring in the groove.
2. Place the rotor lid on the rotor in a vertical motion.
3. To lock the rotor, turn the red rotor lid screw clockwise as far as it will go, and after an audible "click" is
heard.
The rotor is correctly locked after the audible "click" is heard!
If the locking system is stiff, lightly lubricate the pins in the rotor lid screw with pivot grease.
