3. Pull out bolt and turn 90 degrees and insert the top of
the bolt into the long slot of the hexagon block. Push the
motor house gently until the bolt fits well.
4. Angle adjustment range is shown in the figures.

1. Insert the stud on the rotation shaft into the center hole of
the tray and make sure the tray is firmly touching the fixing
block of the rotary plate, as shown in figure 1.
2. Screw in the fixed handle until the tray fastens, as shown
in figure 2 .
3. Align the tip of the screw driver with the hole at the side of
the fixing block of the rotary plate. Make sure the fixing block
of the rotary plate is not moving and continue screwing the
fixing handle until the tray is fastened tightly, as shown in
figure 3.

Note:
After continued and extended
operation, it is possible for the
tray to exhibit uneven or erratic
rotation. This does not
necessarilyindicate equipment
malfunction and a cause for
returning the unit to the
manufacturer.
Caution:
Failure to load or
unload the tray as
listed above may
result in uneven
tray rotation or
possible stalling
of the tray
4. Insert the test tube into the hole. Make sure to place
the test tubes close to the center or symmetric around
the axis.
Loading and Unloading the Tray:
Maintaining Tray Balance
Because the rotator is a finely
balance unit, loading and
unloading the tray with culture
tubes or other containers needs to
maintain the overall balance of the
tray, especially when it is moving.
Starting from the center and
working to the outside edge of the
tray, insert or remove tubes that
are diametrically opposed-that is,
from the top, bottom, left, right.
container weight is
distributed evenly, allowing
optimum tray rotation.

4. Insert the test tube from the outside of the tube holder
until it reaches the appropriate position.

3. Fasten the screw on the tray with the screw driver to
keep the tray is fixed well, as shown in figure 6.
