SAFETY NOTICES
CAUTION：
Install the rotor carefully and securely on the drive shaft (crown) in the rotor
●
chamber. Always place the rotor pin in the drive hole (crown hole) apart from
the crown pin.
Take care not to get your hands or fingers caught in the door of the
●
centrifuge.
Maximum rotor speed depends on the tubes or adapters to be used. Follow
●
the instructions on the rotor instruction manual.
Approximately even quantities of sample in the tubes are sufficient for
●
balancing, and extremely different sample quantities must be avoided.
Clean the inside of the drive hole (crown hole) of the rotor and the surface of
●
the drive shaft (crown) of the centrifuge once a month.
Storing the rotor on the shelf is permitted if the shelf is taken necessary
●
countermeasures against earthquakes not to drop the rotor.
Do not pour any solution such as water, detergent, or disinfectant directly into the
●
rotor chamber. Be careful not to leak the sample. Failure to do so might cause
the bearings of the drive unit and/or the sensors to corrode or deteriorate.
Use the rotor log book to manage the life of the rotor with an optical disk.
●
It is important to manage the life of the rotor. The life of each rotor is specific
●
and dependent upon the frequency and the total running time. Do not use
rotors whose lives have expired. If used, the machine can be seriously
damaged. (Follow the rotor instruction manual.)
For details of the Zonal centrifugation, see the Zonal Rotor instruction manual.
●
Do not press the touchscreen with a sharp-pointed object such as a ballpoint
●
pen.
Be sure to remove the rotor from the rotor chamber when centrifuge is not
●
used for a long time or when the machine is moved. Otherwise the drive shaft
(crown) may be damaged.
○
Safety during installation and maintenance
DANGER：
To avoid electrical shock hazards, follow below when servicing the
●
centrifuge.
1) Be sure to turn off the POWER switch and turn off the distribution board of
2) Be sure to turn off the POWER switch and unplug the power cord from the
WARNING：
When a power failure occurs during operation, it takes 10 hours or more for
●
the running rotor to stop completely because the rotor chamber is
depressurized and has less air to stop the rotor. Be sure to leave sufficient
time before opening the door of the rotor chamber.
For maintenance and repairing of the rotors, tubes, etc., see the rotor
●
instruction manual and the rotor, tube, bottle, and cap instruction manual.
After installation and before any test-run, this ultracentrifuge always needs
●
the internal check by a Hitachi Koki authorized sales/service representative.
Repairs, disassembly, and other modifications to the centrifuge are strictly
●
prohibited unless performed by a Hitachi Koki authorized sales/service
representative.
your centrifuge room if your centrifuge is equipped with a three wire
power cord. Then wait at least three minutes and then remove the covers
