  • Page 9: Warning And Information Signs

    EN 61010-2-020. • The HERMLE Z 326 K is explosion-proof and must therefore not be operated in explosion- endangered areas or locations. Centrifugation of flammable, explosive, radioactive, or such substances, which chemically react with high energy, is strictly prohibited. The final decision on the risks associated with the use of such substances is the responsibility of the user of the centrifuge.

  • Page 10: Following Rules Must Strictly Be Adhered To

    • Do not use accessories such as rotors and buckets, which are not exclusively approved by HERMLE Labortechnik GmbH, except commercially available centrifuge tubes made of glass or plastic. • Do not spin extremely corrosive substances, as they may cause material damages and impair mechanical resistance.

    Hold the rotor with one hand and secure the rotor to the shaft by turning the fixing nut clockwise. Tighten fixing nut with enclosed allen key (see figure 11) Figure 12 ATTENTION: For safety always ensure that rotor fixing screw is tightened before each run!! (see figure 11) © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH Z326K_V3.15...

  • Page 18: Loading Angle Rotors

    In principle swing out rotors may not be taken in operation until all buckets or racks are put into the rotor. The bolts at the rotor must be greased with the HERMLE vaseline (Order No. 41-5215). The sample tubes have to be filled evenly by eye and put into the drillings or tube racks. The weight difference of the loaded buckets should not exceed approx.
