1. General Considerations
1.1 Safety

Follow precautions and all the safety requirements described on this user manual
to prevent any damage and failure of equipment and loss of lives.
1. The centrifuge should be installed on flat surface to maintain level.
2. Check the voltage to be used, before connecting the centrifuge to the power source.
3. Only use rotors, parts, and accessories provided by Hanil Scientific Inc.
Hanil Scientific Inc. is not responsible for damages of the device and accidents caused by
using parts and accessories not recommended.
4. Do not exceed the maximum rated speed of the rotor or buckets in use.
5. Make sure to prepare necessary safety measures before using samples that are toxic or
radioactive samples or pathogenic or samples or infectious blood.
6. Substances that may generate volatile or explosive vapor can not be centrifuged.
7. The balancing work of samples should done in advance before operation.
8. To ensure safe use of the device, do not expose the device to strong acids, strong bases,
cesium, salt, or alkaline detergents.
8. If the centrifuge is contaminated by toxic or radioactive samples or infectious blood
samples, remove contaminants completely and take needful actions such as ventilation
or isolation of centrifuge.
9. Before operation, rotor and chamber should be dry.
10. Do not attempt to slow or stop the spinning rotor by hand.
11. Only centrifuge with rotor and rotor lid firmly tightened.
12. Do not block vents.
13. When serving the centrifuge, be sure to remove contaminants in advance.
14. Please contact the place of purchase or Hanil Scientific Inc. for product repairs.
15. According to IEC61010-2-020 maintain a 30cm “clearance envelope” around the
centrifuge while the rotor is spinning.
16. Turn the power switch off after using the device.
17. Unplug the power plug before cleaning or left unused for a long period of time.

3.1 Packing Inspection

•Check packing conditions carefully, before unpacking.

•Contact Hani lScientific Inc. immediately if damages found.
•Check the delivery for completeness.

•You can get contact details on packing boxes and the back of the manual.

3.2 Installation
3.2.1 Selecting the location

Installation on hard and flat ground.

• Centrifuge should be installed on hard and flat place.
• If the centrifuge is installed in an inclined place, the shaft may be bent due to the
weight of the rotor.

Goodventailation.
• For air circulation and safety, maintain a 30cm“clearance envelope”around the
centrifuge while the rotor is spinning.

Constant temperature/humidity
• Centrifuge equipped with the sensitive electronic software which is fragile with
humidity and temperature.
•Must avoid direct ray or heater and be put in the ambience of controlled temp.and air.

Avoid the corrosive gas

• Install the centrifuge in a place where corrosive gas is not generated.
• Sulfur dioxide gas and chlorine gas may cause corrosion.

Leveling
• The shaft should be put exactly vertical on the hotizontaliy flat ground by
the leveling tool
