SAFETY NOTICE
This safety notice summarizes information basic to the safe operation of the equipment
described in this manual. The international symbol displayed above is a reminder that all
safety instructions should be read and understood before installation, operation, mainte-
nance, or repair of this instrument. When you see the symbol on other pages, pay special
attention to the safety information presented. Observance of safety precautions will also
help to avoid actions that could damage or adversely affect the performance of the
equipment.
Safety During Installation and/or Maintenance
Locate the ultracentrifuge in a clean, safe, uncluttered environment.
Any servicing of this equipment that requires removal of any covers can expose parts
which involve the risk of electric shock or personal injury. Make sure that the power
switch is off and the ultracentrifuge is disconnected from the main power source, and refer
such servicing to qualified personnel.
Do not replace any ultracentrifuge components with parts not specified for use on this
instrument.
Electrical Safety
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this instrument uses a three-wire electrical cord and
plug to connect this equipment to earth-ground. To preserve this safety feature:
• Make sure that the matching wall outlet receptacle is properly wired and earth-
grounded. Check that the line voltage agrees with the voltage listed on the name-rating
plate affixed to the instrument.
• Never use a three-to-two wire plug adapter.
• Never use a two-wire extension cord or a two-wire non-grounding type of multiple-
outlet receptacle strip.
Do not place containers holding liquid on or near the chamber door. If they spill, liquid
may get into the instrument and damage electrical or mechanical components.
Safety Against Risk of Fire
Fuses protect certain electrical circuits within this instrument against overcurrent condi-
tions. For continued protection against the risk of fire, replace only with the same type and
rating specified.
This instrument is not designed for use with materials capable of developing flammable or
explosive vapors. Do not centrifuge such materials (such as chloroform or ethyl alcohol)
in this instrument nor handle or store them within the required 30-cm (1-ft) area
surrounding the ultracentrifuge.
