Drum Lock
The centrifuge unit is equipped with a drum lock function that is used to stop the drum from spinning
when essential maintenance work is required to the centrifuge. Normally, the drum should be set to
the locked position when the drive belts need to be changed or if the drum needs to be operated
manually for cleaning out heavy debris deposits that may still be stuck to the inside wall of the drum.
The drum lock switch is accessed by removing the hexagon cap head screw securing the hinged
access lid. The access lid is fitted with a cut out switch and kills the power to the drive motor when
the lid is opened.
Access to the drum lock
1. Using a hexagon key (allen key) remove the cap head
that secures the hinged access lid.
Lift the access lid and wait until the centrifuge motor has
stopped rotating.
