4 Notes on safety
No claim of warranty will be considered by the manufacturer unless ALL instructions in this manual
have been followed.
• The centrifuge should be installed on a good, stable base.
• Before using the centrifuge absolutely check the rotor for firm placement.
• When the centrifuge is running, according to EN / IEC 61010-2-020, no persons, dangerous
substances or objects may be within the safety margin of 300 mm around the centrifuge.
• Rotors, suspensions and accessories that possess traces of corrosion or mechanical damage or
if their term of use has expired may not be used any longer.
• The centrifuge may no longer be put into operation when the centrifuging chamber has safety-
related damages.
• With swing-out rotors the trunnions must be regularly lubricated (Hettich Lubricating Grease No.
4051) in order to ensure consistent swinging out of the hangers.
• For centrifuges without temperature control, when the room temperature is increased and/or if the
device is frequently used, the centrifuging chamber could be heated up. Therefore, it can't be
ruled out that the sample material might be changed due to the temperature.
• Before the initial operation of your centrifuge you should read and pay attention to the operating
instructions. Only personnel that has read and understood the operating instructions are allowed to
operate the device.
• Along with the operating instructions and the legal regulations on accident prevention, you should also follow the
recognised professional regulations for working in a safe and professional manner. These operating instructions
should be read in conjunction with any other instructions concerning accident prevention and environmental
protection based on the national regulations of the country where the device is to be used.
• This centrifuge is a state-of-the-art piece of equipment which is extremely safe to operate. However, it can lead to
danger for users or others if used by untrained staff, in an inappropriate way or for a purpose other than that it
was designed for.
• The centrifuge must not be moved or knocked during operation.
• In case of fault or emergency release, never touch the rotor before it has stopped turning.
• To avoid damage due to condensate, when changing from a cold to a warm room the centrifuge must either heat
up for at least 3 hours in the warm room before being connected to the mains, or run hot for 30 minutes in the
cold room.
• Only the rotors and accessories approved by the manufacturer for this device may be used (see chapter
"Anhang/Appendix, Rotoren und Zubehör/Rotors and accessories"). Before centrifuge vessels are used which are
not listed in the chapter "Appendix, Rotors and accessories", the user must make sure they can be used by
asking the manufacturer.
• The centrifuge rotor may only be loaded in accordance with the chapter "Loading the rotor".
• When centrifuging with maxim revolutions per minute the density of the materials or the material mixtures may not
exceed 1.2 kg/dm3.
• The centrifuge may only be operated when the balance is within the bounds of acceptability.
• The centrifuge may not be operated in explosion-endangered areas.
• The centrifuge must not be used with:
− inflammable or explosive materials
− materials that react with one another producing a lot of energy.

EN
AB5005EN_SA Rev.02 / 05.2022 11/61
• When centrifuging hazardous substances or mixtures, which are toxic, radioactive or contaminated with
pathogenic microorganisms, suitable measures must be taken by the user.
Fundamentally, centrifuge containers with special screw closures must be used for hazardous substances. For
materials of risk groups 3 and 4, in addition to sealable centrifuge containers, a bio-safety system must be used
(see the "Laboratory Bio-safety Manual" from the World Health Organization).
In a bio-safety system, a bio-seal (sealing ring) prevents droplets and aerosols from escaping.
If the hanger of a bio-safety system is used without the lid, the sealing ring must be removed from the hanger to
prevent damage to the sealing ring during the centrifugation run.
Damaged bio-safety systems are no longer microbiologically sealed.
If a bio-safety system is not used, a centrifuge is not microbiologically sealed for the purposes of the standard EN
/ IEC 61010-2-020.
When closing a bio-safety system, follow the instructions in the chapter "Closing biosafety systems".
For the available bio-safety systems, see the chapter "Appendix, Rotors and accessories". If in doubt, you can
get the information you need from the manufacturer.
• The centrifuge must not be operated with highly corrosive substances which could impair the mechanical integrity
of rotors, hangers and accessories.
• Repairs must only be carried out by personnel authorised to do so by the manufacturer.
• Only original spare parts and original accessories licensed by the Andreas Hettich GmbH & Co. KG company are
allowed to be utilised.
• The following safety regulations apply:
EN / IEC 61010-1 and EN / IEC 61010-2-020 as well as their national deviations.
• The safe operation and reliability of the centrifuge can only be guaranteed if:
− the centrifuge is operated in accordance with the operating instructions,
− the electrical installation on the site where the centrifuge is installed conforms to the demands of EN / IEC
stipulations.
• Meeting the country-specific requirements concerning occupational safety with regard to the use of laboratory
centrifuges at the workplaces provided for this purpose by the user is the responsibility of the user.

14 Loading the rotor
Standard centrifuge containers of glass will not stand RCF values exceeding 4000 (DIN 58970, pg. 2).
• Check the rotor for firm seating.
• With swing-out rotors all rotor positions must be lined with identical hangers. Certain hangers are marked with
the number of the rotor position. These hangers may only be used in the respective rotor position. Hangers that
are marked with a set number (e.g. S001/4) may only be used in the set.
• The rotors and hangers may only be loaded symmetrically. The centrifuge containers have to be distributed
evenly on all rotor positions. For authorised combinations see Chapter "Anhang/Appendix, Rotoren und
Zubehör/Rotors and accessories".
In the case of angle rotors all possible rotor positions must be loaded, see chapter "Anhang/Appendix, Rotoren
und Zubehör/Rotors and accessories".
Rotor is loaded symmetrically. Not permitted!
Rotor is loaded asymmetrically.
Rotor is evenly loaded Not permitted!
Rotor is not evenly loaded
• When using blood bags, the following must be observed:
If the hangers are not filled to the same weight, the differences can be compensated with balance weights.
See the chapter "Rotors and accessories" for available compensation weights.
If there are not enough blood bag systems available to fully load the rotor, empty hangers can be equipped with
compensating inserts. If necessary, fine adjustment is carried out with the tare weights supplied.
See the chapter "Rotors and accessories" for available compensation inserts.
• On certain hangers, the weight of the maximum load or the weight of the maximum load and the maximum
weight of the completely loaded hanger is specified. This weight may not be exceeded. In case of exception, see
chapter " Centrifugation of materials or mixtures of materials with a density higher than 1.2 kg/dm3". The weight
specification of the maximum load includes the total weight of the adapter, centrifuge container and contents.
• In containers with rubber inserts, the same number of rubber inserts must always be among the centrifuge
containers.
• The centrifuge containers may only be filled outside of the centrifuge.

• The maximum filling quantity for the centrifuge containers specified by the manufacturer must not be exceeded.
In the case of angle rotors, the centrifuging
vessels may only be filled so far that no fluid
can be expelled from them while the centrifuge
is running.
Fluid
Centrifugal force
• When loading the angle rotors, no liquid may get into the angle rotors or centrifuging chamber.
• When loading the hangers and swing-out rotors and when swivelling out the hangers while the centrifuge is
running, no liquid may enter the hangers or the centrifuging chamber.
• In order to maintain the weight differences within the centrifuge container as marginal as possible, a consistent
fill level in the containers is to be heeded.
15 Closing biosafety systems
In order to guarantee that it is sealed, the lid to the biosafety system has to be firmly closed.
In order to prevent the packing ring from twisting when opening and closing the cover, the packing ring must
be lightly rubbed with a rubber care product.
For further details of available biosafety systems see chapter "Anhang/Appendix, Rotoren und Zubehör/Rotors
and accessories". If in doubt, you should obtain relevant information from the manufacturer.
Lid with clip lock
• Put the lid on the hanger and push down both clamps until they are underneath
the loops on the hanger.
• Fold down both clamps as far as they can go. The clamps have to lie flat against
the hanger.

16 HettLiner packing instructions
16.1 Packing before centrifugation
Note: Make sure that the plastic insert cannot tip over when loading and unloading the inserts (use loading aid 4509).
• Insert the blood bag (a) into the insert
(b).
• Hold the blood bag at the connections
(c) and push the support plate (d) on
the outer side of the blood bag from
top to bottom into the insert
• Make sure that the lower edge of the
support plate rests as completely as
possible on the floor.
• Fold the support plate outwards and
push it down until the folded edge of
the support plate is level with the
liquid level of the blood bag.
• The position of the loop (e) must be
observed so that it can be reached
after centrifugation!
• The upper edge of the support plate
must not protrude too far from the
insert during centrifugation due of the
risk of jamming with the rotor arms!
• If available, fold empty satellite bag(s) and pack differently depending on the appropriate accessories and
filling volume of the blood bag.
It is a good idea to fold the satellite bags and pack them on the outside between the folded support plate
and the outer wall of the insert.
→Make sure that the silicone plate does not slip while doing this!
→If necessary, the silicone plate can be held by the loop when packing the satellite bag and thus held
against it
→The position of the loop must be checked afterwards!
• Place the connections over the support plate so that the valves cannot break.
Make sure the tubes do not protrude from the insert!
→Stow tube sections protruding over the edge of the insert between the folded down support plate and the
insert wall.
• Balance weights should be placed between the folded down support plate and the bucket wall if needed.

16.2 Unpacking after centrifugation
• Pull the satellite bag out of the insert while holding the silicone plate in place with one hand.
• Slowly pull out the folded part of the support plate at the loop provided!
→Caution: Carefully return the support plate to its original shape!
→The folded part of the support plate can spring back and mix blood components.
• Remove the remaining blood bag from the insert either together with the support plate or after removing the
support plate!
