HazarDS, precautIonS anD lImItatIonS of uSe 8 HAZARDS, PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF USE 8.1 Cautions The following precautions must be observed: Never try to bypass the safety lid lock while the rotor is spinning. Do not try to open the lid until the display returns to stand-by mode. Only use a correctly grounded mains supply.
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 can cause sufficient force to dam- age the drive shaft and the rotor chamber. HuMax 5K | User manual...
