AIR-INTAKE AND EXHAUST LOUVERS

CLEANING

DECONTAMINATION

Check the drive hub and regularly wipe it clean as needed.
Regularly check that the air-intake and exhaust louvers are clean and
unblocked. Use a vacuum cleaner or damp cloth to keep them clean.
An optional air-intake filter (346436) is available.
Keep instrument surfaces clean by wiping them with a cloth damp-
ened with a mild detergent such as Beckman Solution 555 (diluted 10
to 1 with water). If salts or other corrosive materials are used, how-
ever, or if spillage occurs, wash all affected areas immediately. Do not
allow corrosive materials to dry on the instrument. (Be careful not to
spill liquid on the instrument where electrical or mechanical compo-
nents could get damaged.)
NOTE
Before using any cleaning or decontamination
methods except those recommended by the
manufacturer, users should check with the
manufacturer that the proposed method will not
damage the equipment.
If the instrument and/or accessories are contaminated with radioac-
tive or pathogenic solutions, follow appropriate decontamination
procedures as determined by your laboratory safety officer. Refer to
the chemical resistances list in Appendix A of Rotors and Tubes, or
contact Beckman Coulter Field Service to ensure that the decontami-
nation method does not damage any part of the instrument (or
accessories).
