CAUTION.

There are

X-ray

hazards inside the main cabinet.

NOT

bypass any safety interlocks.

•

Check inside the machine for water ingress and the effectiveness of
the door seals.

•

Check the condition of all the fans inside the machine. Noisy or
vibrating fans should be replaced.

•

Check that the air filters are clean and free from debris. Clean or
replace as necessary. (Filters 1 & 2 are mounted on the frame).

Check roller bearings for heat, noise, or vibration. Contact

Thermo

Fisher Scientific

for replacement.

Check Roller
