• Do not place dangerous material within 30cm around the centrifuge
• It is your responsibility to make sure to prepare necessary safety measures before using samples that
are toxic, radioactive or contaminated with pathogenic micro-organisms
• 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 notify the SLS
Service Centre 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 avoid 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
• Unauthorised repairs, disassembly, and other services to the centrifuge except by the SLS Service
Centre 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 the door is open
• Be careful not put your fingers or hands between the door and cover when the door is closing
• Do not move or relocate this centrifuge while it is running
• If fluid spills in the rotor chamber, please promptly clean and 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 be careful of the rotor
(1) Always check for corrosion and damages on the rotor surface before using it. Do not use the rotor if an
abnormality is found.
(2) Do not set the centrifuge speed beyond the allowable maximum speed of the rotorkits (rotor or
adapters). Make sure to run it below the allowable maximum speed.
(3) Do not exceed the allowable imbalance.
(4) Use the rotor and tubes within their actual capacities.
(5) If the rotor is attached with a lid, ensure it is tightened before operation.
• If any abnormal condition occurs during operation, please stop it immediately and contact the SLS
Service Centre. Notify the SLS Service Centre if a warning code if displayed
• Vibrations are likely to damage the centrifuge, contact the SLS Service Centre if abnormality observed
