Electrical Safety
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this equipment uses a three or five-wire electrical cord and
plug to connect this equipment to earth-ground. To preserve this safety feature:
• Make sure that the matching wall outlet receptacle is properly wired and earth-grounded.
Check that the line voltage agrees with the voltage listed on the name-rating plate affixed to the
centrifuge.
• Never use a three-to-two wire plug adapter.
• Never use a two-wire extension cord or a two-wire non-grounding type of multiple-outlet
receptacle strip.
Do not place containers holding liquid on or near the chamber door. If they spill, liquid may get into
the centrifuge and damage electrical or mechanical components.
Safety Against Risk of Fire
This centrifuge is not designed for use with materials capable of developing flammable or explosive
vapors or hazardous chemical reactions. Do not centrifuge such materials (for example, chloroform
or ethyl alcohol) in this instrument nor handle or store them near the centrifuge.
Mechanical Safety
For safe operation of the equipment, observe the following:
• Use only the Beckman Coulter rotors and accessories designed for use in this centrifuge.
• Do not exceed the maximum rated speed of the rotor in use.
• NEVER attempt to slow or stop a rotor by hand.
• Do not lift or move the centrifuge while a rotor is spinning.
• NEVER attempt to override the door interlock system while the rotor is spinning.
• Do not lean on the centrifuge or place items on it while it is operating.
Chemical and Biological Safety
Normal operation may involve the use of solutions and test samples that are pathogenic, toxic, or
radioactive. Such materials should not be used in this centrifuge unless all necessary safety
precautions are taken.
• Observe all cautionary information printed on the original solution containers prior to
their use.
