Safety Notice
Warnings and Cautions Found in this Manual
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury, operate the Biomek NX instrument only with
all protective shields in place.
WARNING
To prevent injury, use proper decontamination procedures.
• Wipe up all spills on the deck immediately.
• Approximately every six to twelve months, schedule a Beckman Coulter
service call to lubricate the linear rail.
CAUTION
If service is required, contact a Beckman Coulter Service Engineer.
WARNING
Do not remove tower covers to access electrical wiring or fuses. Change only the
fuses that are accessed from the outside of the instrument, without removing
covers. Contact a Beckman Coulter Service Engineer if further access is required.
WARNING
Turn off and unplug power to the instrument before changing fuses. Failure to do
so can cause electrical shock or equipment damage.
CAUTION
CAUTION: To prevent damage due to electrical static discharge (ESD), wear a wrist
ground strap when handling a multichannel head.
CAUTION
Before removing the fourth shoulder screw, take hold of the head firmly to make
sure it does not fall once all screws are removed.
WARNING
The gripper may bend if not taught (framed) properly with the AccuFrame.
WARNING
Do not connect or disconnect any cable while power is applied to the Biomek NX.
