8.3 Service
In the event of service work that requires the removal of the panels,
there is a risk of electric shock or mechanical injury. Only qualified
specialist personnel is authorised to perform this service work.
The centrifuge is subject to high mechanical stress. In order to be
able to withstand this high level of stress, high-quality components
were used during the production of the centrifuge. Nevertheless, wear
cannot be excluded and it may not be visible from the outside.
Especially the rubber parts that are – among other things – part of the
motor suspension, are subject to ageing.
This is why we recommend having the centrifuge checked by the
manufacturer during an inspection once per year in the operating
state and once every three years in the dismantled state. Rubber
parts should be replaced after three years or a maximum of 15,000
cycles.
