Service and Maintenance
Thermo makes no claims as to the effectiveness of proprietary brands
of decontaminating solutions.
Power Supply Circuit
If the main circuit breaker of the centrifuge cuts off the power to the
instrument, do not attempt to switch it on before a Thermo Service
Breaker
representative has checked over the unit.
Trunnion Lubrification
This operation is necessary to allow the buckets to swing freely. Clean
the trunnions regularly with a dry wipe (as well as the part of the
bucket that rotates on the trunnions). Then, put a very small quantity
of grease on the curved face of the trunnion. Do not apply too much
grease because it will eventually coat the bowl of the centrifuge as
centrifugal force pulls the grease from the trunnions.
If the centrifuge is having imbalance problems, try this operation
before calling Thermo service. In many cases, imbalance problems arise
due to the fact that poorly maintained bucket-trunnion interfaces
prevent the buckets from swinging freely. L
