number will be issued. Please reference the R.G.A. number on the paperwork packed with

REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS MADE TO THE CENTRIFUGE BY AN
UNAUTORIZED PARTY WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
Problem Solving:

a) Check to determine if centrifuge is plugged in.
b) Check that lid is properly closed.
d) Check that Power switch in the back of unit is in the “on” position.
e) Check that the power indicator light (with the switch) is lit. A failure of the
power light to illuminate could indicate a need for a new fuse when the unit is
properly plugged in, switch is turned on and the lid is closed.

sure that there is no paper or debris in the rotor or rotor chamber. Make sure
the load is balanced in the rotor.
