MAINTENANCE

4.1

Cleaning

This section describes the proper method for cleaning your centrifuge.
Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
1.
2.
Note: If glass breakage is an on-going condition, we recommend that all
the plastic shields be replaced. Microscopic particles of glass become
embedded in the plastic shields. These particles can come in contact with
new glass tubes, creating a pressure point that may result in recurring tube
breakage.
3.
Note: To remove the rotor, lift it straight up off its drive shaft. The rotor is
held in place by spring clips that line up flat to the surface on the drive
shaft. To reinstall the rotor, line up the clips with the flat surface and
press it as far down the shaft as it will go.
Warning: Never use any of the chemicals listed in Table 1 for cleaning.
Never use a cleaner that contains abrasives. Check your cleaner to be sure
none of its ingredients will damage the unit.
4.2

Fuse Change

To change the internal fuse(s), open the cover and remove the rotor and
shields. Close the cover. Unplug the centrifuge, carefully place the
machine on its cover and remove the baseplate (four bolts - 1/4 inch
socket). The fuses have the following values:
For 120 VAC (Cat. No. 448 & 458) - one 2.5A Slo-Blo part number 65767
For 240 VAC (Cat. No. 449 & 459) - two 1.25A Slo-Blo part number 42517
Release the latch, open the cover and unplug the unit.
Check the chamber for spills or broken glass. If present, wipe out
the chamber with a water-dampened sponge.
Clean the outside of the unit, the rotor and the chamber with warm
water, mild detergent and a sponge.
