3.1 Unpacking of the Centrifuge
Open case. Take out the box containing accessories. Remove packaging
material. Lift centrifuge upwards with a lifting device or with several persons.
When lifting or carrying the centrifuge please always reach under the instrument
from the side.
Attention: The instrument is heavy!
Please keep case for possible transport of centrifuge later.
3.1.1 Transport Safety Device
The SIGMA 4-15C has a transport safety device which must be removed before
start-up. The transport safety device blocks the drive system.
The transport safety device screws are accessible from the outer underside.
Lift the left or front side of the centrifuge to put a suitable object ā for example a
block of wood- between the table and the bottom of the centrifuge.
Attention: Danger of injuries!
The star grip transport safety device screws become apparent. Unscrew by hand
and totally remove.
After that, line centrifuge up and continue start-up.
The transport safety device screws should be stored for possible despatch
(service, repairs).
