    CAUTION If the levers are not flapped down properly can damage the bucket during centrifugation. The bucket is not closed aerosol-tight if the levers are not in their locking position. Never lift the bucket on the levers. 75006476 LH-4000W Thermo Scientific...
  • Page 31: Fill Level

    The careful inspection of the seals and seal surfaces for signs of wear and damage such as cracks, scratches and embrittlement is extremely important. Aerosol-tight applications are not possible if the lids are open. Aerosol-tightness requires the correct operation when filling the sample vessels and closing the bucket cap.
