SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read all safety & usage information provided in this manual carefully before using the device.

• Never us·e. the centrifuge in any manner not specified in this manual .

• Always use recommended original rote.rs and spare parts for best results & product safety.

• The rotors must be loaded symmetrically. Each tube should be counterbalanced by another tube of same weight.

• Do not use centrifuge or rotor that have not been correctly installed or shows any si,gn of damage.

• The rotor must always be securely fastened. If the centrifuge makes unusual noise during operation, the rotor fitment needs to be checked. Switch OFF the device immediately by pressing STOP, check fitment & fasten it we,11.

• Never move the centrifuge during its operation.

• Prior to centrifugation, the tubes should be visually inspected for material damage. Damaged tubes must not be centrifuged. This is because broken tubes can result in sample loss and can create imbalance which can result in

• further damage to the centrifuge and accessories.

• Do not fill tubes while they are in the rotor. Liquid spillage may harm the device. If liquids are spilled on the rotor or rotor chamber, the centrifuge, must
  be cleaned carefully and properly before being used again.

•  The centrifuge may be used for the specified applications only. It must not be operated in a hazardous or flammable environment and must not be used to , centrifuge explosive or hi,ghly reactive substances. Also do not place the potential hazardous material within the clearance area/envelope.

• Equipment if used in any manne,r not specified iri this manual or by the manufacturer can re-suit in the lapse of the product warranty.

• Repairs must only be performed by the authorized service technician.

• Do not lean on the equipment. It may damage the equipment or even harm the operator.

• In the event of contamination caused by aggressive agents, the rotor must be cleaned immediately using a natural cleaning. liquid. This is particularly important for the bores of the tubes. If any damage is seen, contact the service technician.

• Before using cleaning or decontamination methods other than those mentioned by the manufacturer, contact the manufacturer to ensure that the intended method will not d.amage the centrifuge.

• For safety we have provided protective earthing with power supply. Make sure power supply is earthed,

MAINTENANCE AND Cl.JEAN ING

• The rotor and the outside of the centrifuge should be cleaned regularly with a mild wet (w’ith water) cloth.

• Ensure that while cleaning the unit is not plugged in.

• Wear protective glove & safety glass while operating & cleaning the device.

• The brushless motor in the centrifuge requires no ro,utine maintenance,. Any required service should be performed by authorized, qualified personnel only. Repairs performed by unauthorized personnel may void the warranty.

• Always keep the centrifuge housing, rotor chamber and rotor clean. All parts should b.e wip.ed down periodica1lly with a soft cloth.
  Note: Liquid should not co.me into contact with the motor.

• After cleaning, ensure that all parts are dry before re-u,se.

• Regul·arly cleaning of the· rotor is important.

• If t,he rotor chamber needs cleaning, clean w·ith cloth or sponge moistened w.ith a neutral detergent solution.

• Do not place the rotor into the cleaning solution.

• If corrosive, toxic or pathogenic bac.teria are accidentally spilled i.n the roto.r or rotor chamber the centrifuge must be decontaminated thr.oughly.

• Apply min.or Grease on the Motor sh.aft (Threaded Parts.,Grooves) at regular intervals

IMPORTANT NOTE:

• If the system get hangs or gets heated due to over current, switch OFF & switch ON (restart) the centri,fuge and check it again.
• Maintain 3 seconds gap between!J switch OFF and switch ON. Instant ON-OFF can lead to a reset, erasing last run memory.
• If the motor gets hot due to which there will be a fluctuation in speed value then allow the centrifuge to get cool for atleast 30 minutes. Do not do any operation for 30 minutes.
