or have any troubles with this centrifuge, ASK FOR HELP.
⚫The precautions described in this User manual are carefully developed in an attempt to cover
all the possible risks. However, it is also important that you are alert for unexpected incidents.
Be carefully operating this centrifuge.

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.
⚫Do not place dangerous material within 30cm around the centrifuge.
⚫Make sure to prepare necessary safety measures before using samples that are
toxic, radioactive or contaminated with pathogenic micro-organisms at your own
responsibility.
⚫If the instrument, 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 are specified.
⚫If you require services at site, please sterilize and decontaminate it in advance,
and then notice the service center involved in the details of the particular materials.
⚫Do not handle the power cord or turn on or off the POWER switch with wet hands
to void electrical shocks.
⚫For safety purposes, do not enter within 30cm around this centrifuge while it is in
operation.
⚫While the rotor is rotating, never forcedly release the door lock.
⚫Unauthorized repairs, disassembly, and other services to the centrifuge except by
our service center are strictly prohibited.

CAUTION
⚫This centrifuge must be located on one firm and level table.
⚫Make sure the centrifuge is horizontal before running.
⚫Make sure the angle between the door and cover is greater than 70 degrees when open
the door.
⚫Be careful not put your fingers or hands between the door and cover when the door off.
⚫Do not move or relocate this centrifuge while it is running.
⚫When there is fluid in the rotor chamber, please promptly dry with a dry cloth to avoid
sample contamination.
⚫Ensure to remove any objects and fragments of the tubes dropped inside the rotor
chamber before running this centrifuge.
⚫Cautions on rotors
1）Always check for corrosion and damages on the rotor surface before using
it. Do not use the rotor if such abnormality found.
2）Do not set the centrifuge speed override the allowable minimum speed of
the rotor kits (rotor or the other adapters). Make sure to run it below the allowable
minimum speed.
3）Do not exceed the allowable imbalance.
4）Use the rotor and tubes within their actual capacities.
5）If the rotor is provided with a lid, ensure it is tightened before the operation.
⚫If any abnormal condition occurs during operation, please stop it immediately and contact
our service center. Notice the service the alarm code if displayed.
⚫Earthquake damage is likely to the centrifuge, contact our service center if abnormality
observed.

4. Installation
This section describes the instructions that you should abide when install the centrifuge to ensure your
safety and the optimum performance. Before moving the centrifuge, the rotor must be removed.
WARNING：
●Incorrect power supply may damage centrifuge.
●Make sure the power source conforms to the required power supply
before connecting.
4.1 Location
（1）Locate this centrifuge on a firm、flat and level table, ensure the four feet of this centrifuge
stand on the table firmly. Avoid installing on the slippery table-board that conveys vibration.
（2）Ideal ambient temperature is 20℃±5℃, avoid placing the centrifuge in direct sunlight if
temperature exceeds 30℃.
（3）Keep clearances of at least 10cm on both sides of centrifuge and at least 30cm behind it to
ensure its cooling efficiency.
（4）No heat or water resource nearby, otherwise easily cause sample temperature increase or
centrifuge failures.
4.2 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 grounded properly.
（1）This centrifuge is equipped with a 3P flat plug; grounding can be done just by plugging the
3P plug into the outlet.
（2）A cover 10A outlet which has a good ground is required, and meet with local safety
requirements.

7. Rotor Preparation
7.1 Prepare the sample
7.2 Inject the sample into tubes.
CAUTION：Excessive sample may cause leakage in the centrifuge tube, keep the
actual capacity.
◼Do not exceed the actual capacity specified in the instruction manual.
7.3 Keep the tubes balance
◼See Table 7.1 for allowable imbalance of each rotor.
◼Although this centrifuge can accept sample balancing by eye, we recommend that you use this
centrifuge in a well-balanced condition to prolong its life expectancy.
◼Never intentionally run the centrifuge under unbalanced condition even though the allowable
imbalance is not exceeded.
7.4 Inspect the rotor
CAUTION：
●Any abnormality such as corrosion or scratches are found, stop using the rotor and
contact our service center.
●Only manufacturer’s rotors which claimed can be used with the unit are allowed.
