Replacing Rotors:
The centrifuge provides two interchangeable rotors. These are easily replaced using the Allen key
provided.
◇ Remove rotor:
Remove the screw under the rotor with the Allen key. Pull up the rotor from the motor shaft and remove it.
◇ Reassemble rotor:
Put the other new rotor to the motor shaft. Take care not to press the rotor down so far as to compress
the rubber collar at the base of the shaft. Fix the screw with the Allen key until it is tight.
◇ Never over-tighten the screw to prevent damaging the rotor or motor shaft.
