1-2. Safety Precautions
Before using the instrument, please read this operation manual to ensure correct usage. Incorrect handling of the
instrument could possibly result in personal injury or physical damage on the instrument or its accessories.
1. ALWAYS locate the instrument on a flat, rigid and stable floor capable of withstanding the weight of the
instrument and its spinning operation.
2. ALWAYS make a safety zone of 30 cm around the centrifuge to indicate that neither hazardous
materials nor persons should be permitted within the area during operation.
ALWAYS position the instrument with enough space on each side of instrument to ensure
proper air circulation.
3. ALWAYS install the instrument within a temperature and humidity controlled environment. (Permissible
ambient temperature: +5°C ~ +35 °C, Relative humidity: ≤ 85%)
4. Before connecting the power, check the rated voltage.

5. Should not use unapproved rotors and accessories.
Only use rotors from GYROZEN Co., Ltd. with appropriate centrifugal tubes and suitable
adaptors to embrace sample containers tightly enough inside rotors.
6. Before operating the instrument, check if the rotor and the rotor lid are securely fastened.
Should operate the instrument with a rotor properly installed and secured to the motor shaft.
7. Mount the rotor on the motor shaft properly, check it with spinning manually.
8. Do not stop the rotor by touching with hand during the instrument is running.
9. Emergency lid open should be performed only when spinning is completely stopped.
10. Should not exceed the rated speed or specific gravity. Samples whose density is greater than 1.2g/ml
must have reduced maximum rotational speed to avoid rotor failure.
11. The sample content should not exceed 80% of total capacity of a tube. Otherwise, it would cause
spillage of sample fluid and even the tube breakage.
12. ALWAYS load the tubes symmetrically with evenly weighted samples to avoid rotor imbalance. If
necessary, use the water blank to counterbalance the unpaired sample.
13. The operation speed should not exceed the highest value of the individual guaranteed g-forces of each
centrifuge, rotor, bucket or adaptors and sample container, especially the guaranteed g-force of sample
container should not be neglected.
14. The rotors should be cleaned and kept dry after every use for longer life and safety.
15. ALWAYS disconnect the power supply prior to maintenance care and service to avoid electrical shock.
16. ALWAYS use proven disinfection procedures after centrifuging biohazardous materials.
17. Should not centrifuge flammable, toxic, radioactive, explosive, or corrosive materials.
18. When it is necessary to use toxic or radioactive materials or pathogenic micro-organisms which belong
to the Risk Group II of WHO: “Laboratory Bio- safety Manual,” should follow national regulations.
Do not place dangerous materials within 30 cm distance around the instrument, and that is also
recommended by IEC 61010-2-020.
Use the emergency lid open function only when the lid button on the control panel is dumb
under the condition of complete stop of rotor running.
Never try to open or move the instrument if it is not completely stopped.

the proper temperature & humidity. (Permissible ambient temperature: +5°C –+35 °C, Relative
humidity: 30% ~ 85%)
4. Install the instrument at the place without any kinds of corrosive gases.
3-2. Electricity Requirement
1. Check the proper voltage of your instrument and connect to adequate power outlet.
2. If the power input is more than +/- 10% of the recommended voltage or fluctuates frequently, it may
cause malfunction of the instrument and often result serious damage.
3-3. Unpacking

The lid is not automatically opened after finishing operation to keep the sample at proper
temperature.
Power Failure: If there is any power failure during operation, lid is not opened with [LID] button. Lid
can be opened only when the operation is completely stopped and the power is on again. If you want
to open the lid at the power failure, please refer to „5-11. Emergency Lid Open‟.
4-3. Rotor Coupling and Disassembling
Action

12
Multi-purpose/ Large Capacity, High Speed Centrifuge 1736R/ 1096R
4-3-1. Swing-Out Rotor
2. Mount a proper rotor into the motor shaft.

hole of the rotor.
To assemble the rotor: Rotate the Rotor Locking Tool clockwise
until tightly assembled.
To disassemble the rotor: Rotate the Rotor Locking Tool
counterclockwise.
4. Hang the appropriate buckets into the rotor.
Load the identical bucket at each wing for safety. (Do not leave a
vacant wing without bucket. All wings should hold identical
bucket. )
Remove dirt and water drop around hooks of rotor and hanging
part of bucket.
5. Spin the rotor manually to check if bucket swinging is free enough and ever. If they do not swing freely,
apply the Lubricant (grease) to the linking area.
4-3-2. Fixed Angle Rotor
2. Mount a proper rotor into the motor shaft.

the wheel caster clockwise or counterclockwise until the device
is well balanced.
4-5. Positioning of Sample Tubes
1. Before loading sample tubes, check the water drop or dirt in the rotor hole or inner adaptor.
If there is a water drop or dirt in the rotor hole or inner adaptor, remove it with soft dry cloth.
2. Tubes should be placed in the rotor with same amount of samples at symmetrical positions.
Only use appropriate centrifugal tubes and do not exceed the speed beyond the tube‟s max.
g-force.
For safety, fill the sample for 70~80% in the tubes.

position. Otherwise, it results noise and vibration, which eventually damage the instrument
☞For safety, the „Imbalance Cut Off‟ function will be occurred, if there is imbalance of loading tubes (Error 8,
Imbalance error). Please refer to 7. Trouble Shooting.
