3.2.1 Loading the plate buckets

Observe the maximum load and the maximum height when using stacked plates.
3.3 Position and remove the upper shell of the wind shield
The upper shell of the wind shield is used for noise reduction.
1. Before it is used for the first time, remove the attachment that is mounted on the knob
of the upper shell of the wind shield.
2. Position the upper shell of the wind shield and rotate a max. 1/4 revolution until it is
lowered onto the rotor hub.
The lock indicator must protrude so far over the knob that the red marking is clearly
visible:
The loose positioning of the upper shell is intentional and aids in self-centering.
3. Pull on the knob of the upper shell of the wind shield in order to lift it.
3.4 Removing the rotor
1. Pull on the knob of the upper shell of the wind shield in order to lift it.
2. Remove the bucket.
3. Turn the rotor nut counterclockwise using the rotor key.
4. Hold the rotor with both hands on the rotor cross.
5. Remove the rotor vertically in an upward motion.
Only 5430 R: To ensure accurate and fast temperature control of the samples,
carry out the centrifugation without upper shell of the wind shield. Note that the
centrifugation noise will increase slightly in this case.
