2.0 INSTALLATION OF THE ROTATOR
2.1 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 all of the accessories are included.
Carefully lift the unit from the box.
Be sure that the following information is included on the serial number
located on the bottom of the unit: Serial number, Product number,
Electrical rating.
Check that the power cord has the correct configuration that matches
the outlet according to your local standards.
If any damage occurred during transportation, contact your carrier
immediately.
2.2 STARTING UP THE ROTATOR
Place the rotator on a level and stable surface. Connect the plug into a
grounded outlet. Avoid lines where line surges may occur, i.e.
refrigerators and similar devices are connected, Use the on/off switch to
control the rotator.

Use caution when plugging into a grounded outlet!
DO NOT touch the plug with wet hands!
DO NOT unplug the unit by pulling the power cord!
3.0 LOADING THE ROTISSERIE
The rotisserie supplied with the unit is designed to hold
standard 1.5ml or 2.0ml microcentrifuge tubes (Fig 1).
There are two other rotisseries available separately for
different size tubes. Each rotisserie consists of a
rotisserie plate with bar keys for placement into the
apparatus and a two piece rotisserie rod with bar key
Figure 1
on either end.
Install the rotisserie rod by screwing the two elements together through the hole
in the center of the rotisserie plate. Insert the tubes into the tube holders. Mount
the rotisserie in the apparatus in either the vertical position, using the rotisserie
rod, or the horizontal position, using the bar keys on the plate. The side opposite
to the driving mechanism is flexible to allow inserting the rotisserie without tools.
Insert the bar key on the rotisserie rod or plate into the drive mechanism. The
other end of the rotisserie is suspended in the bushing located in the opposite
side of the unit. Be sure to distribute tubes evenly across the rotisserie carrier to
achieve smooth rotating motion.
2.1 Tumbling
To create tumbling motion, load the tubes and mount
the rotisserie so the tubes are held in a vertical position.
Legs supporting
the rotator when
set to create
tumbling motion
Then rest the unit on its end making sure that it is
supported by the black side legs (Fig.2). The unit can
be rested on either end. Setting the unit on the end with
the power switch will create more vigorous tumbling
motion than when it is rested on the opposite end.
Figure 2
2.2 Mixing Plates
Any of the rotisseries can be used for mixing in
microplates. Remove the rotisserie rod if it is installed.
Seal the microplates completely to avoid leakage. Make
sure the microplate lines up with locking dimples.
Fasten the plate (or plates) with rubber bands or small
bungee cords (not supplied with the unit). Maximum of
Figure 3
two deep well plates can be mixed at a time. For all
2
other types of motion, two plates should be placed on the rotisserie for proper
balance.
