Precautions
In order to ensure safe operation of the CLINIConic™30 x 15, the following general
safety regulations must be followed:
•Do not remove the magnet at the rotor bottom;
•Do not use rotors which show any signs of corrosion and/or cracks;
•Use onlywith rotors that have been loaded properly;
•Never run the rotor with missing stainless steel tube holders;
•Never overload the rotor;
•Use only accessories which have been approved by ThermoFisher Scientific. Exceptions to this
rule are commercially available glass or plastic centrifuge tubes, provided they have been approved
for the speed or the RCF value of the rotor.

Rotor Installation
This rotor is equipped with an AutoLock™-system.
This system isused toautomatically lock the rotor to the motor shaft. The rotor does not have to be
bolted onto the motor shaft.
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the lid of the centrifuge and if necessary remove any dust, foreign objects or residue from
the chamber.
AutoLock™and O-ring must be clean and
undamaged.
Figure 3-1. AutoLock™
2. Hold the rotor over the shaft and let it slide slowly down the shaft.
The rotor clicks automatically into place.
3. Check if the rotor is properly installed by lifting it slightly on the handle. If the rotor can be
pulled up, then it must be reclamped to the shaft.
CAUTION
Unapproved or incorrectly combined accessories can cause serious damage to the
centrifuge.
CAUTION
Do not force the rotor onto the motor shaft.
If the rotor is very light, then it may be necessary to press it onto the shaft with a small
amount of pressure.
WARNING
If the rotor cannot be properly locked in place after several attempts, then the
AutoLock™ is defective and you are not permitted to operate the rotor.
Check for any damage to the rotor: Damaged rotors must not be used!
Keep the hub area clear of objects.

Removing the Rotor
Thermo Scientific 75003623 CLINIConic 30 x 15 3-3
4. Close the centrifuge lid.
Removing the Rotor
To remove the rotor, proceed as follows:
1. Open the centrifuge lid.
2. Grab the rotor handle with both hands and press against the green AutoLock™key.At the same
time, pull the rotor directly upwards with both hands and remove it from the motor shaft. Make
sure not to jam the rotor while doing this.
CAUTION
Check that the rotor is properly locked on the shaft before each use by pulling its
handle.
Be sure to check all seals before starting any aerosol-tight applications.
See the information in the rotor instruction manual.
