1-1. Intended Use of Manual
This manual is for qualified service personnel who are familiar with
factory methods for performing repairs, adjustments and calibra-
tions.
Warnings, Cautions, and Notes are used throughout this manual to
emphasize important and critical instructions. Service personnel
are expected to be familiar with their meaning (see page ii) and to
read them before servicing the centrifuge.
1-2. Service Decontamination
Policy
If a centrifuge or rotor that has been used with radioactive or
pathogenic material requires servicing by Sorvall personnel, either
at the customer’s laboratory or at a Sorvall facility, comply with the
following procedure to ensure the safety of all personnel:
1. Clean the centrifuge or rotor to be serviced of all encrusted
material and decontaminate it prior to servicing by the Sorvall
representative or returning it to the Sorvall facility. There must
be no radioactivity detectable by survey equipment.
The SORVALL

ries Catalog contains descriptions of commonly used decon-
tamination methods and a chart showing method compatibility
with various materials. This service manual contains specific
guidance about cleaning and decontamination methods appro-
priate for the centrifuge or rotor it describes (see paragraph 7-1).
Clean and decontaminate your centrifuge or rotor as follows:
For TC6

tabletop centrifuges:
a. Remove rotor from the rotor chamber.
b. Remove motor cover and wash with appropriate
decontaminant.
c. Decontaminate door, rotor chamber, chamber door seal,
and drive, using an appropriate method.
W A R N I N G
Because of the character-
istics of the samples likely to be pro-
cessed in this centrifuge, biological
or radioactive contamination may oc-
cur. Always be aware of this possibil-
ity, and take normal precautions. Use
appropriate decontamination proce-
dures should exposure occur.
W A R N I N G
To avoid personal injury, all
replacement and calibration proce-
dures should be performed by quali-
fied service personnel.
