Removing rotor
Turn rotor nut anticlockwise using the rotor key, remove rotor in an upward direction. If this is impossible,
tighten the rotor nut back up, close the centrifuge lid and set the temperature in the rotor chamber to the
removal temperature in the range from 10 °C to 30 °C. Turn rotor nut anticlockwise using the rotor key,
remove rotor in an upward direction.
If this is unsuccessful: undo the rotor nut and use both hands to pull the rotor vigorously upwards using
a gentle rocking and tilting motion. It may be helpful for a second person to hit the rotor key in the rotor
gently with a plastic hammer at the same time to loosen the jam on the motor shaft.
Please follow the section in the operating manual entitled "Fitting and removing the rotors".
