Safety Precautions
The CryoStar is heavy and requires a minimum of two people to safely unpack and
maneuver it.
The CryoStar has a high centre of gravity and care should be taken when moving.
Do not tip the CryoStar more than 30° from the upright position.
After moving the CryoStar, wait at least 8 hours before switching on to allow the
refrigerant to settle - failure to do so may cause damage to the unit.
Note
The packing materials should be carefully stored for use in any future instrument shipment.
