Translation of the original operating manual,
•
Do not spin any substances that could damage the material of the
rotors and buckets of the centrifuge in any way. Highly corrosive
substances, for example, damage the material and affect the
mechanical strength of the rotors and buckets.
•
Stop the centrifuge immediately in the event of a malfunction.
Eliminate the malfunction (see chapter 7 - "Malfunctions and error
correction") or inform the service department of the manufacturer (see
chapter 7.3 - "Service contact").
•
Ensure that all repairs are performed only by authorised and
specialised personnel.
•
Prior to any start-up, check the centrifuge, rotor, and accessories for
signs of damage that can be discerned from the outside. Special
attention must be paid to all of the rubber parts (e.g. motor cover, lid
seal, and adapters) in terms of visible structural changes. Defective
parts must be replaced immediately.
•
Open the centrifuge when it is not in use so that moisture can
evaporate.
This centrifuge is designed to be loaded by a robot system and is usually
remote-controlled via PC. For safe handling of the centrifuge, the following
safety instructions must be observed:
•
The centrifuge must be equipped with light barriersor secured doors to
prevent unauthorized access during centrifugation.
•
Do not reach into the rotor chamber through the open slid cover when
the centrifuge is connected to the mains power. This can lead to
considerable physical damages!
•
Do not spin explosive or inflammable substances.
•
Do not use the centrifuge within hazardous locations.
