Installation of rotors

For FC5513 centrifuge packaged with rotor already installed, these following steps are not necessary.
Clean the drive shaft as well as the collet with a clean, grease-free piece of cloth. Place the rotor onto the drive shaft.
(See figure below). Take care that the rotor is fully installed onto the motor shaft.
Nut for Rotor

Hold the rotor with one hand and secure the rotor to the shaft by turning the fixing nut clockwise. Tighten the fixing
nut with enclosed rotor key (See figures 11)
Rotor with hermetical sealed lid has to be locked with provided rotor key. Therefore hold the rotor with one hand and
secure the rotor by turning the fixing nut clockwise (see Figure 11)
We will provide a tool for none-nut rotor with centrifuge, the tool for nut-rotor will be provided with rotor.
ATTENTION:
Check that the fixing screw is properly installed before each run. (See figure 9)
Do not operate the centrifuge with rotors or buckets which show any signs of corrosion or mechanical
damage.
Do not operate with extremely corrosive substances, which could damage the rotor, buckets and
