3.2

Loading

Unlatch and open the cover. Check that the rotor turns freely and that
there are no loose objects in the chamber.
Load the rotor symmetrically with 2,3,4 or 6 tubes in the 6-place rotor (but
not 1 or 5) or 2,3,4,6,8,9 or 12 in the 12-place rotor (but not 1, 5, 7 or 11).
The tubes must be of equal size and with contents of equal (within 1 gram)
weight. Close the cover securely, ensuring that the latch is engaged.
3.3

Starting a Run

Turn the timer knob to the desired run duration (for runs of under 5
minutes, turn the timer past the five minute setting and then back to the
desired time). For runs in the HOLD mode (infinite duration), turn the
knob speed to the ∞ ∞ setting. The motor will take several minutes to reach
top speed.
Note: periods of slight vibration during acceleration are normal.
If excessive vibration occurs, turn the timer knob to zero (0). When the
rotor has come to a stop, open the cover and check that the load is
balanced. If the rotor is properly balanced and vibration persists, ensure
that the suction cup feet are clean and adhering to the surface on which the
unit was placed.
3.4

Stopping a Run

To stop a run, turn the timer knob to zero or allow the time to expire. Wait
until the rotor has come to a complete stop, then unlatch and open the
cover.
