6.1.3 Releasing the Clamp
1. When the Geno/Grinder comes to a complete stop, open the cover.
2. Turn the clamp lid handle counter-clockwise until it rotates freely (Figure 12).
3. Press the button and hold while sliding the lid up the screw shaft.
4. It is not necessary to remove the clamp lid entirely. Simply raise the lid until the
sample vials or titer plates are easily accessible. Then release the button and the
clamp lid will remain at that height. Vials or titer plates can be unloaded and the
next set loaded while the lid rests in this position.
A) Turn handle counter-
clockwise to loosen
