In case of power failure, lid can’t be opened In case of failure of power supply, the lid locking system cannot unlock the lid automatically. On this occasion, the following procedures will help open the lid easily: 1、Switch off the power supply 2、Remove the plastic plug（#1）located on the left hand of the body. You will find a magnetic interlock fitting（#2）in it. 3、Insert a screwdriver（#3）or any steel bar into the hole 4、Press the magnetic interlock fitting down and also press the lock release button on the right hand（#4）at the same time. 5、Place the plastic plug（#1）back to close up the hole. WARNING： Disconnect from the power supply prior to maintenance. 6 Rotor assembly CAUTION： Inspect all components prior to installing this centrifuge 1. The locking bolt（#1） must be fastened firmly with Rotor + Drive shaft 2. The thread of locking bolt（#1）is designed by the reversed direction to the driving direction, thus never worry about the loose bolt. 3. Check if the pin is assembled firmly and properly in the drive shaft. 4. Rotate the rotor slightly to test the balance of the rotor. If the rotor is not locked firmly, the possible vibration and imbalance will occur, thus the damage or personal injury may be happened. 7 BUCKET and TUBES 【A】 The rubber cushion is used to protect the glass tubes during the high speed spinning. Thus make sure if the cushion is placed properly on the bottom of the bucket as depicted in figure 1. Let the concaved side of cushion up. Or clear all glass pieces if glass tube is broken. If the cushion is unfortunately placed upside down or on the tilt, recover it to the normal position. 【B】 The basket type bucket is also designed to place one rubber cushion in it. The purpose of this cushion is to avoid the plastic adaptor from vibration and crack. 【C】 How to place the centrifugal tubes CAUTION Use the same type of bucket for spinning in order to keep the balance of the rotor. Place the tubes diagonally across the bucket as stated in the figure Even if the less testing tubes is used, place all other tubes into the adaptor and buckets to allow the balance during spinning. 8 Preparation Before use of this centrifuge, the following steps must be conducted strictly： 1、Plug power cord in a grounded outlet. 2、Switch power to ON position.
