(3) The ultracentrifuge requires a clearance of more than 20 cm at its rear and a floor space of at least
90
x
90
cm (See Fig.6-1). Ensure the surrounding of the instrument has a free circulation of air. Avoid
installing the ultracentrifuge near any other heat-generating machine/equipment, which might
reduce the ultracentrifuge cooling capacity.
WARNING:
The centrifuge itself may move if the rotor fails during high-speed rotation. Make
sure there is a 30
cm area around the centrifuge that will allow for such movement
and do not allow individuals to enter into that area during operation. Also do not
place dangerous objects such as flammable or explosive materials on top of the
centrifuge or in the surrounding area.
