3.5.2 Incorrect handling of the device
3.5.3 Incorrect handling of the rotors
WARNING! Device lid can crush. Keep hands clear.
Do not reach between the device and lid when opening or closing the device lid.
NOTICE! Damage from knocking against or moving the device during operation.
If the rotor bangs against the rotor chamber wall, it will cause considerable damage to the
device and rotor.
Do not move or knock against the device during operation.
WARNING! Risk of injury from improperly attached rotors.
Only operate the device if the rotor has been mounted properly.
If there are any unusual noises when the device is started up, immediately press the start/
stop key to stop concentrating.
CAUTION! Risk of injury due to asymmetric loading of a rotor.
Load rotors symmetrically with identical tubes or plates and buckets.
Always load all positions of a swing-bucket rotor with buckets.
Only load adapters with suitable tubes or plates.
Always use tubes or plates of the same type (weight, material/density and volume).
Ensure that tubes that are located opposite each other contain liquids with the same rate of
evaporation. Otherwise an imbalance can occur and the concentration may automatically
stop.
Check that loading is symmetrical by balancing the adapters and tubes or plates used with
scales.
The device automatically detects imbalances during operation and stops the run immediately
with an error message and a signal tone. Check the loading, balance the tubes and re-start the
centrifugation.
CAUTION! Risk of injury from overloaded rotor.
The device is designed for the concentration of substances with a max. density of 1.2 g/mL at
maximum speed and volume.
Observe the maximum load for each rotor (adapter, tube and contents) per rotor bore or
per bucket, and do not exceed this limit.
