NOTICE
It is your responsibility to ensure that all requirements are met for safety
reasons.
1. 1. Unpacking
The shipping carton should be inspected upon delivery. When received, carefully examine for any shipping
damage before unpacking. If damage is discovered, the delivering carrier should specify and sign for the damage
on your copy of the delivery receipt.
Open the carton carefully making certain that all parts (
) are accounted for before packaging materials
are discarded. Remove the packaging completely. After unpacking, if damage is found, report it to the carrier
and request a damage inspection. Dispose of the packaging in accordance with local waste disposal regulations.
Failure to request an inspection of damage within a few days after receipt of shipment absolves the carrier from
any liability for damage. You must call for a damage inspection.

Operate the centrifuge only indoors.
The set up location must meet these requirements:
Keep a safety zone of minimum 30 cm around the centrifuge. Refer to
Persons and hazardous substances must be kept out of this safety zone while centrifuging.
Centrifuges cause vibrations. Do not store sensitive devices or dangerous objects or substances in the safety
zone.
A
WARNING
Risk of impact. The centrifuge can crush objects and persons in a radius of 30 cm while
spinning. Keep a safety zone of 30 cm around the centrifuge for safe operation. Make sure that no one is in
the safety zone while the centrifuge is spinning.
The supporting structure must meet these requirements:
»
Be stable, solid, rigid and free of resonance.
»
Be applicable for horizontal set up of the centrifuge.
It is not allowed to put anything under the centrifuge to compensate an uneven surface.
Do not operate the centrifuge on carts or stand-alone shelving that could move during operation or are
inadequately sized for the centrifuge.
»
Hold the weight of the centrifuge.
The centrifuge cannot be leveled by itself. The supporting structure must be suitable for proper set up.
A
CAUTION
If you do not level the centrifuge, the centrifuge can crash because of imbalance. If you move
the centrifuge, you must level it again. Do not move the centrifuge with a rotor attached to the drive shaft
because damage can occur to the drive. Do not put anything below the centrifuge feet to level the centrifuge.
Do not expose the centrifuge, accessories and samples to heat and strong sunlight.
A
CAUTION
UV rays reduce the stability of plastics. Do not subject the centrifuge, rotors and plastic
accessories to direct sunlight.
