2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
⚫ The machine can be only operated by the trained and authorized person.
⚫ The maintenance can be only conducted by trained person, SciQuip or its authorized
agency.
⚫ The maintenance spare parts shall be provided by the manufacturer and SciQuip, and
users are not allowed to replace them without authorization.
⚫ It’s prohibited to use any materials that may cause overpressure, combustion or
explosion in the equipment. Any uncontrolled cultivation of toxic or pathogenic
organisms is not recommended for this equipment.
⚫ The loading volume must not exceed 1/3 of the total volume of the flask.
⚫ Reduce the loading or the shaking speed until the equipment runs smoothly, if loud
noises or strong vibrations occur.
⚫ Do not expose equipment to inappropriate ambient conditions, such as temperature,
or humidity outside the stated operating range.
⚫ The power supply of the incubator shall be well grounded so as to prevent operators
from electric striking.
⚫ The electrical supply circuit to the incubator must confirm to all national and local
electric codes. Check the serial-data plate for voltage, cycle, phase and amperage
requirements before you connect the unit.
⚫ Do not pull out the plug when the unit is in use. Never drag on the wire to unplug the
unit.
⚫ A separate branch circuit is recommended to prevent loss of samples due to
overloading or failure of other equipment on the same circuit.
⚫ A surge protector is recommended to avoid power-related faults.
⚫ In case of malfunction or burning smell, the unit must be unplugged immediately .Use
a circuit breaker to cut off the power supply. Continuance of abnormal state will end up
with fire as a result of overheating.
⚫ The electric power supply must be cut off in following situations:
◼ When the insulation is damaged.
◼ When opening the door of electrical power box. Opening the top/back cover
without cutting off power supply might result in electric shock.
◼ When replacing the fuse. Replacing the fuse without cutting off the power supply
will probably result in electric shock.
◼ When a malfunction occurs, mishandling will result in the further damage of the
equipment or accidental injury.
◼ If you do not use the unit for a long period of time.
