P Preface
iv 75006476 LH-4000W Thermo Scientific
In order to ensure safe operation of the LH-4000W rotor, the following general safety
regulations must be followed:
•Do not remove the magnet at the rotor bottom.
•Do not use rotors which showany signs of corrosion and/or cracks.
•Use only with rotors which have been loaded properly.
•Never overload the rotor.
•Operate the rotor always with the lid closed.
•Use only accessories which have been approved by Thermo Fisher Scientific. Exceptions
to this rule are commercially available glass or plastic centrifuge tubes, provided they
have been approved for the speed or the RCF value of the rotor.
•Please observe the safety instructions.
Please pay particular attention to the following aspects:
•Rotor installation: Check that the rotor is locked properly into place before operating
the centrifuge.
•Always balance the samples.
