Receive the Unit
All units are shipped in protective packaging.
Inspect the unit upon receipt and immediately file any damage claims with the shipper/carrier.
Prepare the Installation Site
• The unit normally resides on a bench top.
• Place the centrifuge on a clean, dry surface, to make certain that the suction feet at the bottom grip
the surface firmly. Keep the area beneath the unit free of debris and loose materials..
• A safety zone of at least 30 cm (12")must be maintained around the centrifuge.
• The centrifuge should not be exposed to heat and strong sunlight.
• The set-up location must be well-ventilated at all times.
• Lift the lever to release the latch. Remove the soft material covering the plastic shields (6 or 12)
that are shipped in position inside the rotor.
• Press down on the center hub to ensure that the rotor is secured to the shaft. Turn rotor by hand to
verify it turns freely.
• Inspect the shields for damage. Make sure the flange of the shield is flush with the surface of the
rotor.
Verify Power Configuration
Verify that the correct power cord and connector is provided for your installation.
The unit requires a grounded power supply (3-outlet). If your facility does not have grounded power
outlets, arrange for proper grounding.

CAUTION The resting surface must be level, to ensure quiet, vibration-free operation. A
rigid and stable location is important. An improperly loaded centrifuge may vibrate or
move.
WARNING
No person or any hazardous materials Should be in the safety zone while the centrifuge
operates for the unlikely event of a disruption.
WARNING UV rays reduce the stability of plastics.
Do not subject the centrifuge, rotors and plastic accessories to direct sunlight.
