5.4 Loading a fixed-angle rotor

1. Check maximum load (adapter, vessel, and contents) for each rotor bore.
2. Load rotors and adapters only with the tubes intended for them.
3. To ensure symmetrical loading, insert sets of two tubes in opposite bores.
Tubes located opposite each other must be of the same type and contain the same filling quantity.
To minimize weight differences between filled sample tubes, we recommend taring with a balance. This
will reduce wear of the drive and operating noise.
CAUTION! Risk of injury due to asymmetric loading of the rotor.
 Load rotors symmetrically with identical tubes.
 Only load adapters with suitable tubes.
 Always use the same type of tubes (weight, material/density and volume).
 Check symmetric loading by balancing the adapters and tubes used with scales.
