Care and Maintenance
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Perform the following procedures regularly to ensure satisfactory
performance and long service life of the centrifuge.
• Regularly inspect the interior of the rotor chamber for accumula-
tions of sample, dust, or glass particles from broken sample tubes.
Clean as required (see
CLEANING
, below), as these accumulations
can result in rotor vibrations.
• Regularly check the air intake and exhaust vents for obstructions.
Keep vents clear and clean.
• To prevent the rotor from sticking, lubricate the drive shaft with
Spinkote (306812) at least once a month (depending on usage),
and after each cleaning.

NOTE
Before using any cleaning or decontamination
methods except those recommended by the
manufacture, users should check with the
manufacturer that the proposed method will not
damage the equipment.
CLEANING
Frequent cleaning will ensure proper operation and prolong the life
of the centrifuge.
Always clean up spills when they occur to prevent
corrosives or contaminants from drying on component surfaces .
• To prevent accumulations of sample and/or dust, keep the interior
of the rotor chamber clean and dry by frequent wiping with a cloth
or paper towel. Remove the rotor and wash the bowl often, using a
mild detergent such as Beckman Solution 555™ (339555). Dilute
the detergent 10 to 1 with water. Rinse thoroughly and dry
completely. Spray the centrifuge bowl with antistatic solution and
wipe it clean. (Anti-static wipes are also available.)
• Clean the drive shaft, shaft cavity, threads, and the tie-down screw
at least once a week using a mild detergent such as Solution 555
and a soft brush. Dilute the detergent 10 to 1 with water. Rinse
thoroughly and dry completely. Lubricate the drive shaft with
Spinkote (306812) after cleaning.
