VSpin User Guide
Damage hazards
!! DAMAGE HAZARD !! Do not use harsh abrasives, corrosive cleaning agents,
or metal brushes to clean any VSpin components or accessories. Do not use
any concentration of bleach (sodium hypoclorite). Do not allow cleaning agents
to contact any electrical or sensitive mechanical components.
!! DAMAGE HAZARD !! Plates occasionally break apart inside the VSpin, and
the plate fragments need to be removed so they do not interfere with moving
parts and potentially damage the VSpin.
!! DAMAGE HAZARD !! Do not tamper with or adjust the VSpin rotor mounting
screw, which fastens the rotor to the central motor axle. It is located on the
bottom of the rotor. Contact Automation Solutions Technical Support if you
think the rotor mounting screw requires maintenance. The VSpin is designed to
have a permanently attached rotor, unlike many manual centrifuges that can
have interchangeable rotors.
