3.6. Manual Lid Unlocking Procedure
In the event of mains non-availability or power failure, opening of the lid is prevented by the lid locking
safety device. It is recommended that the user waits for the mains to be switched back on so that this safety
device enables the lid to be unlocked.
Manual lid unlocking must only be done by someone informed of the possible danger and of the necessary
precautions.
Rotating parts are a risk as they could come in contact with the user or be ejected. There is
particularly high risk of injury if:
- The user attempts to manually stop the rotor
- Any object falls inside the centrifugation chamber while the rotor is running.
Manual lid unlocking may be necessary under a very limited number of conditions, such as the urgent
recovery of critical samples that could be damaged if left in the centrifuge rotor.
In this case the lid can be opened by using the special tool supplied with the centrifuge.
Always set the power switch to the OFF position before performing this manual procedure, even in
the case of a mains power outage.
Should the emergency occur due to power failure during centrifugation wait at least 10 minutes for the end
of the rotor rotation. In spite of the absence of noise, the rotor could still be rotating when you need to
open the lid manually. Upon opening, lift the lid by hand and observe the rotor (be careful in this
operation): if it is still rotating, close the lid and wait.
The protection sticker must be replaced after it has been pierced (item N° 85241772).
