Care and Maintenance
5-1
Maintenance
To gain the most in safety, performance, and useful life from your
centrifuge, it is necessary to properly maintain it. Proper mainte-
nance is a simple and inexpensive way to help prevent major fail-
ures. In addition to the maintenance described below, a
Thermo
service contract, which includes a yearly Preventive Maintenance
visit, is recommended to keep your centrifuge in good condition.
Table 5-1 suggests a maintenance schedule.

Chapter 5: CARE and MAINTENANCE
This chapter describes routine maintenance procedures for your RC-5C PLUS Centrifuge. It also includes
cleaning and decontamination recommendations and the Service Decontamination Policy. As the user, it
is your responsibility to make certain these procedures and recommendations are followed. In addition to
these routine procedures, to keep your centrifuge in good working condition and ensure accurate test
results, we recommend that you have the centrifuge serviced and have the speed control, timer, tempera-
ture control, and rotor imbalance checked annually by a
Thermo
Field Service Engineer or other qualified
service personnel. If further service is needed, contact your
Thermo
Field Service Engineer.
W A R N I N G
There are no user-service-
able items inside the centrifuge. Be-
cause of the high voltages in the cen-
trifuge, anyone who is not properly
trained in electronics must not test or
repair the electrical circuits.
