5. MAINTENANCE

5.1 Maintenance and cleaning

5.1.1 General

Care:
Maintenance of the centrifuge is confined to keeping the rotor, the rotor chamber and the rotor accessories clean
as well as to regularly lubricating the rotor insert bolts of a swing out rotor (if available).
The most suitable lubricant is the High TEF oil.
Lubricants containing molycote and graphite are not allowed.
Please pay special attention to anodized aluminum parts. Breakage of rotors can be caused even by slight damage.
In case of rotors, buckets or tube racks getting in touch with corrosive substances the concerned spots have to be
cleaned carefully.
Corrosive substances are for instance: alkalis, alkaline soap solutions, alkaline amines, concentrated acids,
solutions containing heavy metals, water-free chlorinated solvents, saline solutions, e.g. salt water, phenol,
halogenated hydrocarbons.
