Installation

Unpacking the centrifuge

Before unpacking the centrifuge, inspect the outside of the carton for any
shipping damage. The centrifuge is delivered in a carton with protective
cushions. Remove the centrifuge from the carton. Retain the carton and cushions
until it has been established that the centrifuge is working properly. Inspect the
centrifuge for any visible signs of shipping damage. Shipping damage is the
responsibility of the transportation carrier. Any claims for damage must be filed
within 48 hours. The accessories supplied with the centrifuge should be kept with
the instruction manual near the centrifuge's place of installation.

Required space

The centrifuge should be installed on a rigid, even surface such as a stable
laboratory bench, cabinet, etc. To guarantee sufficient ventilation, ensure that the
centrifuge has at least 15cm (6 inches) of free space on all sides, including the
rear. The centrifuge should not be located in areas subject to excessive heat
such as in direct sunlight or near radiators or the exhaust of a compressor, as a
buildup of heat may occur within the chamber.
Installation
Make certain that the timer is set to the off position. Before operating the
centrifuge, check that the power source corresponds to that on the
manufacturer's rating label, then connect the power cord to the centrifuge and
the power source.
ATTENTION: The timer must be in the OFF position before connecting
the power cord. Failing to place the timer in the off position may result in
damage to the centrifuge and injury to personnel.
