Safety Reminder
Symbol is the general international safety sign, please read carefully the following
safety precautions. Follow the instructions and procedures described in this manual to
operate this centrifuge safely.
⚫Read all safety Warnings and Cautions in this manual carefully.
⚫Safety messages are labeled as follows. The safety symbol is in combination
with words of “WARNING” and “CAUTION” to notify users the potential danger; Please
read those instruction carefully before using the centrifuge for the first time.
WARNING: Personal danger
Warning notes indicate any condition or practice, which if not strictly observed, could
result in personal injury or possible death.
CAUTION: Instrument damage
Caution notes indicate any condition or practice, which if not strictly observed or
remedied, could result in damage or destruction of the equipment.
NOTE: Need to be noted generally.
⚫Do not operate the centrifuge in a way which is not described in this manual. Please
contact our service personnel if you have any question.
WARNING:
⚫This centrifuge is not explosion-proof. Never use explosive or flammable samples.
⚫Do not install the centrifuge in or near places where inflammable gases are
generated or chemicals are stored.
⚫Make sure to prepare necessary safely measures before using samples that are
toxic, radioactive or contaminated with pathogenic micro-organisms.
⚫If the instrument, the rotor and or accessories that has been contaminated by
solutions with toxic, radioactive or pathogenic materials, clean it according to the
decontamination procedure that you specified.
⚫If the contaminated equipment requires service of Dynamica or authorized agency
of Dynamica, either at the customer’s site, Dynamica or at the agent facilities, sterilize
and decontaminate it in advance. Make sure to notify the service representatives of the
use of such materials.
⚫Do not touch the power cord or switch with wet hands to avoid electrical shocks.
⚫Users or any hazardous materials are recommended to keep 30cm away from the

ii
centrifuge when it is operating.
⚫Never forcedly release the door lock while the rotor is rotating.
Unauthorized repairs, disassembly, and other services applied to the centrifuge are
strictly prohibited.
CAUTION:
⚫The centrifuge must be located on the firm and level table.
⚫Be careful not to get your fingers or hands caught between the door hook and the
table when closing the door.
⚫When opening the door, make sure the angle between door and the shell is more
than 70 degree.
⚫Do not move or relocate this centrifuge while the rotor is rotating.
⚫If there is liquid in the chamber, dry it immediately to avoid contaminating the
sample.
⚫Keep the chamber clean and remove any objects before running the instrument.
⚫Cautions on rotors:
1）Always check for corrosion and damages on the rotor surface before using it. Do
not use the rotor or bucket if such abnormality is found.
2）Do not run this centrifuge over the allowable maximum speed of the rotor, buckets,
and adapters. If their maximum speeds vary, run it at the lowest maximum speed
among them.
3）Do not exceed the allowable imbalance.
4）Make sure the tubes and bottles within their actual capacities.
5）Make sure all the buckets are the same type at all times.
6）If the rotor is provided with a cover, make sure it is tightly rotated on the rotor
before the operation.
7）Use recommended rotors only.
⚫If any abnormal condition occurs during operation, stop it immediately and contact
our service representative. Notify the service representative the error code.
⚫Earthquakes may cause damage to the centrifuge. Contact our service
representative if abnormality observed.

3 Installation
This section describes the instructions that you should abide by when installing the
centrifuge to ensure your safety and the optimum performance.
WARNING:
•This centrifuge may be damaged if it is connected to an improper power source.
•Check if the power source meets the requirements.
•Must take out rotor before moving the centrifuge.
•When transporting the machine, need to use trolley or need 2 persons to move the
machine together.
3.1 Location
1）Locate this centrifuge on a firm and level table, ensure the four feet of this centrifuge
stand on the table firmly.Avoid installing on the slippery table that conveys vibration.
2）Ideal environment temperature is 20℃±5℃. Temperature should not be over 30℃.
Avoid direct sunlight to the instrument.
3）Keep clearances of 10cm on both sides of the centrifuge and 30cm behind it to ensure
its cooling efficiency.
4）Do not install near by a heat-generating device or waterworks from where may drip or
splash. Such location may cause sample temperature fluctuation or malfunction of the
centrifuge.
WARNING: Users or any hazardous are recommend keeping 30cm away from the
centrifuge when it is running.
3.2 Connection of the power cord and grounding
WARNING:
•Do not touch the power cord with wet hands to avoid electrical shocks.
•This centrifuge must be properly earthed.
1) This centrifuge is equipped with a 3P flat plug. Grounding can be done by plugging the
3P plug into the outlet.
2) Rating current of the outlet should be more than 10A, and its earth terminal is installed
properly.
