6.2.1 Service notes
The rotor part no. 12034 consists of polypropylene. The life essentially depends
on compliance with the chemical resistance tables of the producer (e.g. Bayer,
BSAF).
The centrifuge and the rotors should not be exposed to intensive UV radition and
longer thermal stress. Cleaning should be done using mild detergents.
If required the rotor can be removed. After reinstallation please tighten the rotor
tie-down screw properly.
In the event of material changes (cracks) or deformation and uneven run the
rotor must no longer be used and the manufacturer should be informed
accordingly.
With increasing temperature the chemical resistance of plastics will reduce.
The chemical resistance must be checked beforehand!
Careful maintenance increases life time and avoids premature failure of the rotor.
Corrosion or resultant damages which are caused by insufficient care do not
constitute a warrantly claim.
6.3 Rotor Trunnion Pins
The trunnion pins of the rotor should always be greased as only this ensures
evenly swinging of buckets and thus quiet run of the centrifuge (part no. 70284
Grease).
