Service
Attention!
In the event of service work that requires the removal of the panels, there
is a risk of electric shock or mechanical injury. Only qualified specialist
personnel is authorised to perform this service work.
The centrifuge is subject to high mechanical stress. In order to be able to
withstand this high level of stress, high-quality components were used during the
production of the centrifuge. Nevertheless, wear cannot be excluded and it may
not be visible from the outside. Especially the rubber parts that are – among other
things – part of the motor suspension, are subject to ageing.
This is why we recommend having the centrifuge checked by the manufacturer
during an inspection once per year in the operating state and once every three
years in the dismantled state. Rubber parts should be replaced after three years
or a maximum of 15,000 cycles.
