7.4 Notes for engineers
The Engineer will pay special attention to the most important parts of the machine
and check that they are not damaged in any way. These include:
1. Motor anti vibration ring.
2. The motor shaft.
3. All Centrifuge accessories and especially their structural components. Check
they are all free from corrosion.
4. All metal parts. Check they are free from cracks and abrasions.
5. Screws. Check that all screws are tight.
6. Earth connections. Check they are all connected inside the equipment.
7. Rubber sealing rings between the rotor and lid. Check they are in a good
condition.
IMPORTANT!
Please carry out a safety PAT test for earth bonding, insulation and
earth leakage whilst carrying out the service.
7.5 Repairing your centrifuge
Your Kestrel should provide you with years of trouble free centrifugation. However,
there are occasions when, for various reasons, you centrifuge may need to be
repaired. Warranty repairs will be carried out by authorised service personnel (such
as Henderson Biomedical Ltd in the UK) or in an authorised service work shop
designated by MSE CENTRIFUGES Ltd.
The user will be responsible for the disinfection and decontamination of the unit prior
to any service engineer visit or if unit is to be sent back to an MSE CENTRIFUGES
Ltd authorised work shop.
The centrifuge will only be accepted if the disinfection / de-contamination certificate
is forwarded to the repair shop and a copy of the certificate accompanies the
Centrifuge.
Information about authorised service workshops can be obtained from the
Manufacturer.
