hAzArDS, prECAuTIONS AND lImITATIONS Of uSE 8 HAZARDS, PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF 8.1 Cautions The following precautions must be observed: - Never try to bypass the safety lid while the rotor is spinning. - Only use a correctly grounded mains supply. Special attention to the following is necessary: - Installation of the unit: Proper ventilation, levelling of the centrifuge, rigidity and stability of the bench.
Dry the rotor with a soft, absorbent, non-woven cloth or tis- deterioration to the bea- sue. Drying may be finished off with a warm air jet (e.g. a hair- rings. dryer). Don´t clean the Lid with alcohol to pre- vent dolling HumaMax Micro | User manual...
hAzArDS, prECAuTIONS AND lImITATIONS Of uSE 8.3 Contamination Hazards Our centrifuges are used in medical research, where haz- ardous substances, including radioactive chemicals, are fre- quently found. Always use the appropriate decontamination procedures where the rotor is exposed to these chemicals. Examples of commonly used techniques are outlined below.
- Do not attempt to override the lid interlock assembly. - Load and lock the rotor only in the recommended way. As the centrifuge starts to spin, an improperly loaded rotor could cause sufficient force to damage the drive shaft and the rotor chamber. HumaMax Micro | User manual...
