To install the rotor:
1. Place the rotor back onto the cone-shaped adapter. You may
need to turn the rotor slightly to line it up properly.
2. The rotor should slide onto the rotor cone freely.
3. Once a proper fit has been achieved, replace the rotor nut
and turn it until it is hand-tight, (a tool may be required).
4. Replace the tube holders and verify that they are seated
properly, (as shown on page 4).
5. It is recommended that the initial setup procedures be
performed to ensure that the rotor has been installed correctly
and that no damage has been done to the centrifuge during
either the rotor installation or possible rotor chamber cleaning.
See page 4 for this procedure.
Rotor Removal and Installation:
To remove the rotor:
1. Unlock the centrifuge by pushing the ‘OPEN / STOP’ button and unlatch
and open the lid.
CAUTION: Unplug the centrifuge from the electrical outlet at this time to
eliminate the possibility of electrical shock or other injury.
2. Remove the test tube holders.
3. Remove the nut in the center of the rotor by turning it counterclockwise, (a .5”
nut driver may be required).
4. The rotor is sitting on a cone-shaped adapter. Pull the rotor up and off of
this adapter.
