2 OPERATION
2.1.2 Mounting and loading swing out rotors
Clean the drive shaft with a clean and grease-free cloth. Place the rotor to the motor shaft. Be sure that
the rotor is fully installed onto the motor shaft.
Hold the rotor with one hand and secure the rotor to the shaft by turning the rotor screw (1) clockwise.
The installation of the buckets and the adapters must be done appropriately photo 10.
In principle swing out rotors may not be taken in operation untill all buckets or racks are put into
the rotor.
The bolts at the rotor must be greased with silicone grease.
The sample tubes have to be filled evenly by eye and put into the drillings or tube racks. The weight
difference of the loaded buckets should not exceed approx. 1.0 g.
It is allowed to operate e.g. a 6-place-rotor with 2 loaded buckets only. But the loaded buckets must be
opposite to each other. Make sure that the unloaded buckets also be put inside the rotor (see photo 9
and 10).
ATTENTION:
Always fill all rotor positions with rotor buckets.
