Transporting the Centrifuge
•
Due to its weight (see
“Technical Data”
on
page 1-3
), the centrifuge should be carried by several
people.
•
The centrifuge can be damaged by impacts.
•
Transport the centrifuge upright and if at all possible in its packaging.
Location
The centrifuge should only be operated indoors.
The set-up location must fulfil the following requirements:
•
A safety zone of at least 30 cm must be maintained around the centrifuge.
People and hazardous substances must be kept out of the safety zone while centrifuging.
•
The supporting structure must be stable and free of resonance, for example a level laboratory
bench.
•
The supporting structure must be suitable for horizontal setup of the centrifuge.
•
The centrifuge should not be exposed to heat and strong sunlight.
•
The set-up location must be well-ventilated at all times.
Aligning the Centrifuge
The horizontal alignment of the centrifuge must be checked every time after moving it to a different
location.
The supporting structure must be suitable for horizontal setup of the centrifuge.
CAUTION
Fix the castors.
WARNING
Always remove the rotor before moving the centrifuge.
WARNING
UV rays reduce the stability of plastics.
Do not subject the centrifuge, rotors and plastic accessories to direct sunlight.
CAUTION
If the centrifuge isn’t level, imbalances can occur and the centrifuge can be
damaged.
Do not place anything under the feet to level the centrifuge.
