Opening the cover
To open the cover, press the "Release cover" but-
ton (item C).
Closing the cover
Press the cover down manually until it clicks into
place.
Inserting and removing the rotor
Slacken or remove the rotor securing nut (item
A), then place the rotor on the motor shaft. It
must slide on until it reaches a clearly felt stop.
Now secure the rotor by tightening the rotor
nut (finger-tight clockwise). Restrain the rotor by
hand while the nut is being tightened.
Before starting the centrifuge, always check that
the rotor is securely fastened.
Loading the rotor
• The rotor must always be loaded symmetrically,
see Fig. 8.
• Fill the centrifuging vessels before placing them
in the device.
• Do not overfill the centrifuging vessels beyond
the maximum amounts stated by the manufac-
turer.
The cover opens with a damped movement.
The cover should close easily.
To undo the rotor, restrain the rotor by hand and
then unscrew the rotor nut anticlockwise. If the
rotor nut is too tight, a tool (such as a screwdri-
ver) can be used to undo it.
• Take care to fill centrifuging vessels equally so
as to keep the difference in weight between
centrifuging vessels as small as possible. Tare
the centrifuging vessels using scales.
