2.5.3 Incorrect handling of the rotors
WARNING! Risk of injury from improperly attached rotors and rotor lids.
Only centrifuge with rotor and rotor lid firmly tightened.
If there are any unusual noises when the centrifuge is started up, the rotor or rotor lid may
not be properly attached. Immediately press the start/stop key to stop centrifuging.
CAUTION! Risk of injury due to asymmetric loading of the rotor.
Load rotors symmetrically with identical tubes.
Only load adapters with suitable tubes.
Always use the same type of tubes (weight, material/density and volume).
Check symmetric loading by balancing the adapters and tubes used with scales.
CAUTION! Risk of injury from overloaded rotor.
The centrifuge is designed for the centrifugation of material with a maximum density of
1.2 g/mL at maximum speed and filling volume and/or load.
Do not exceed the maximum load of the rotor.
NOTICE! Damage to rotors from aggressive chemicals.
Rotors are high-quality components which withstand extreme stresses. This stability can be
impaired by aggressive chemicals.
Avoid the use of aggressive chemicals, including strong and weak alkalis, strong acids,
solutions with mercury, copper and other heavy metal ions, halogenated hydrocarbons,
concentrated saline solutions and phenol.
Due to the manufacturing process, color variations may occur on rotors marked "coated".
These color variations do not effect service life or resistance to chemicals.
NOTICE! If handled incorrectly, the rotor may fall.
The swing-bucket rotor may fall if the buckets are used as handles.
Remove the buckets before inserting and/or removing a swing-bucket rotor.
Always use both hands to carry the rotor cross.
