The Lab-Line Lab Rotators are offered in a range of models designed to
meet a variety of laboratory procedures, such as staining and destaining of gels,
immunoassays and extractions where disruption to samples needs to be held to a
minimum. All models produce a ¾-inch orbit and offer variable-speed versatility
from 40 o 220 rpm. 0-60 minute timers are included.

Page 5
The kinds of vessels/containers that can be accommodated include petri
dishes, printed well slides, titer plates, reaction trays, culture plates, flasks and
test tube racks.
Models are differentiated by the size of their platforms:
The white silicone rubber surface has the advantage of aiding the viewing of
staining and destaining as well as other procedures that may rely on color
changes. The slim profile accompanied by a compact width and depth make these
units ideal for the limited surface areas throughout a laboratory. Typical
Lab-Line construction includes a totally enclosed motor and rugged all-steel body
to provide years of virtually maintenance-free performance.

√SHIPPING CARTON:
This should be inspected upon delivery. When received, carefully
examine for any shipping damage before unpacking. If damage is discovered,
the delivering carrier should both specify and sign for the damage on your copy
of the delivery receipt.
Open the carton carefully making certain that all parts are accounted for
before packaging materials are discarded—after unpacking, if damage is found,
promptly report it to the carrier and request a damage inspection promptly.
SECTION 4
INSTALLATION

Page 8
IMPORTANT: Failure to request an inspection of damage within a few
days after receipt of shipment absolves the carrier from any liability for damage:
you must call for a damage inspection promptly.
WARNING: DO NOT LIFT OR CARRY ROTATOR BY ITS PLATFORM—
DAMAGE TO THE PLATFORM BEARING MAY RESULT.
LOCATION:
Place the unit on a level surface in a convenient location and near a
grounded electrical outlet that matches the requirements listed on the
nameplate.
NOTE: POSITION ROTATOR SO THAT IN CASE OF EMERGENCY THE PLUG IS WITHIN
EASY TO BE QUICKLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER OUTLET.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
120 VAC models require a 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz power source. They are
supplied with a 3-wire line cord. It should be plugged into an outlet designed for 3prong plugs. If an extension cord is used, it also should be the 3-wire grounded
type. For an outlet designed to accept 2-prong plugs (ungrounded), it is
required that a qualified electrician replace the outlet with a new grounded type.
240 VAC models require a 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power source. Because of
the variety of plug configurations in use worldwide for 240 VAC power, the unit is
furnished with the plug removed. The user must install a plug to conform with local
code and configuration requirements.
100 VAC models require a 100 VAC, 50/60 Hz power source. Because of
the variety of plug configurations in use worldwide for 100 VAC power, the unit is
furnished with the plug removed. The user must install a plug to conform with local
code and configuration requirements.
If a plug must be installed, use only the 3-prong grounded type, rated for
the unit load requirements and matching the power outlet. Make sure the green
ground wire is secured to the plug ground terminal.
NOTE: LEAVE THE ROTATOR DISCONNECTED WHEN NOT IN USE.
BE ADVISED:
DANGER: DO NOT USE IN THE PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS OR EXPLOSIVE GASES; DO NOT USE IN THE PRESENCE
OF PRESSURIZED OR SEALED CONTAINERS—FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY
RESULT CAUSING DEATH OR SEVERE INJURY.
CAUTION: PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE EQUIPMENT MAY BE
IMPAIRED IF NOT CORRECTLY USED IN THE MANNER SPECIFIED.
SECTION 5
OPERATION
8
Page 9
CONTROL PANEL:
• Rotate the speed dial to the 0 position.
• Rotate the timer dial to the 0 position. Note that the timer dial functions as
the on/off switch. When the timer dial is set at the 0 position, the unit is in
an OFF condition.
• Connect power cord to electrical outlet per nameplate requirements.
• Load platform with containers or vessels to be rotated.
• Rotate the timer dial either to the CONTINUOUS position or a specific
timing period. Note that if a timing period of less than 5 minutes is required,
first rotate the dial past 10 and then rotate it back to a timing period of an
approximated 1, 2, 3 or 4 minutes.
• Rotate speed dial slowly in an increase direction.
• During initial stages of rotation, observe materials on the platform to
determine that liquids are not escaping or spilling onto the platform.
•Once materials on the platform are secure, rotate the speed dial to the
desired level of rotation.
•If timed operation has been selected, shaking will stop automatically at
conclusion of timed period. If CONTINUOUS rotation has been selected,
rotate both the timer dial and the speed dial to 0.
OPERATION: (Con’t)
• When not in use it is best to leave both the timer dial and the speed dial at
0—to avoid accidental start-ups and to prevent other accidents.
POWER MAINS PROTECTION:
If a fuse blows, have a qualified person replace it with a properly rated
fuse. The internal primary of the transformer fuse is:
5 AMP, Littlefuse #313.005, 3AG, Slo-Blo Type (Lab-Line Part #330-273-00).

•Remove pulley from the motor shaft loosening the 2 Allen setscrews that
hold it to that shaft—take note of its position on the shaft. Separate the
motor from the bracket by removing the 4 Phillips screws and lockwashers.
Install new motor on the motor bracket and re-install pulley on the motor
shaft.
DRIVER PULLEYBRACKET STUDS (THREADED)
•Clean both pulley grooves and the belt with alcohol and, during installation,
be sure not to get any grease on the belt. Install the belt on the motor
pulley and hold the belt with some tension on it. As you lower the bracket
and motor assembly into the housing, seat the belt in the groove of the
other pulley. Move the bracket and motor to the side to engage the bracket
studs in the holes, and the upper end of the driven pulley into the nylon
bearing of the motor bracket. Press down to seat the bracket. Fastening
the washers and nuts to completes the assembly. Reconnect the wires.
