Unpacking
Before starting the installation, carefully examine the rotator. Open the box and carefully remove the padding. Check to see that the rotator has not been damaged during transportation. Keep the packing material until you are sure the rotator works properly. Make sure that the rotisserie for 36 x 1.5/2.0 mL tubes is included.
Carefully lift the unit from the box. Be sure that the following information is included on the label located on the bottom of the unit: Serial number, product number, and electrical rating. Check that the power cord has the correct configuration that matches the outlet according to your local standards.
Installation
Place the rotator on a stable, flat surface. Connect the plug into the grounded wall socket. Avoid sockets where powerful electric motors, refrigerators, and similar devices are also connected. Use the On/Off switch to control the rotator. Be careful when you plug the cord into the grounded wall socket. Do not touch the plug with wet hands. Do not pull the plug by the cord.
Loading the Rotisserie
The 36 x 1.5/2.0 mL tube rotisserie supplied with the unit consists of two rotisserie plates attached to an axle that mounts into the motor drive of the apparatus. The Labnet H5600 Revolver Adjustable Rotatorrotisserie plates from the other assemblies are interchangeable on the axles, so you can mix and match the plates and process different tube sizes at one time.
Individual rotisserie plates can be adjusted independently for two distinct types of motion for each plate at the same time. When removing and installing the rotisserie plates from the axle, always remove the axle from the units first. Otherwise, damage may occur to the axle or the unit.
Mount the rotisserie assembly into the unit by inserting one end of the axle into the drive mechanism and the other end into the bushing under the small green handle. The metal frame of the unit is flexible to allow inserting the rotisserie without tools. Be sure to distribute the tubes evenly across the entire rotisserie carrier for a smooth rotating motion.
Cleaning and Maintenance
No routine maintenance or lubrication is required. Keeping the rotator clean will help to maintain it in proper operating condition.
The outside housing can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth when needed. Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaners (acetone, nitro, polish, etc.). This may permanently damage the rotator finish.
