  • Page 9: Warning And Information Signs

    EN 61010-2-020. • The HERMLE Z 366 is "non explosion-proof" and must not be operated in explosion- endangered areas or locations. Centrifugation of flammable, explosive, radioactive, or such substances, which chemically react with high energy, is strictly prohibited. If used in such environment, this is at the users own expense.
  • Page 10: Warranty

    Do not run the centrifuge, if mechanical or electrical assembly groups have been tampered with, by unauthorized personnel. • Do not use accessories such as rotors and buckets, that are not approved by HERMLE Labortechnik GmbH, except commercially available centrifuge tubes, made of glass or plastic.
  • Page 11: Installation Of The Centrifuge

    1.7 Installation of the Centrifuge 1.7.1 Unpacking the Centrifuge Model Z 366 is supplied in a carton. Remove the strap retainer, open the carton, and remove the padding. Lift the centrifuge on both sides (see Figure 1) with an appropriate number of helpers and place it on the laboratory table.

  • Page 17: Operation

    Each rotor indicates what the maximum capacity is per hole. (It is allowed to operate e.g. a 12-place- rotor with 2 or 4 loaded tubes only, but the loaded borings must be opposite of each other). © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH Z366_V1.18_eng...
  • Page 18: Loading Swing Out Rotors

    The bolts of the rotor must be greased with the HERMLE Rotorgrease (Order No. 38-5656). The sample tubes have to be filled evenly, by eye, and set into the drillings or tube racks. The weight difference of the loaded buckets should not exceed 1.0 g.
