Care and Maintenance
Circuit Breaker and Fuses
Sterilization and Disinfection
The centrifuge has a durable powder coat finish. Ethanol (70%) may be used on this surface. See
Chemical Resistances for chemical compatibilities of centrifuge and accessory materials.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury and equipment damage. Ethanol is a flammability hazard.
Vapors from flammable reagents or combustible fluids could enter the centrifuge
air system and be ignited by the motor. Do not use Ethanol or other combustible
materials near operating centrifuges.
While Beckman Coulter has tested ethanol (70%) and found that it does not damage the centrifuge,
no guarantee of sterility or disinfection is expressed or implied. When sterilization or disinfection
is a concern, consult your laboratory safety officer regarding proper methods to use.
Circuit Breaker and Fuses
There are no user-replaceable fuses in the centrifuge.
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage. Repeated attempts to reset the centrifuge circuit
breaker can cause substantial damage to electrical and electronic components. Do
not repeatedly attempt to reset the centrifuge circuit breaker.
If the centrifuge circuit breaker trips for any reason, the power switch will move to the off (
position. Reset the circuit breaker by turning the power switch back to the on (
again immediately, do not reset it.
Storage and Transport
To ensure that the centrifuge does not get damaged,
