3.5.3 Incorrect handling of the rotors
WARNING!
Risk of injury from improperly attached rotors and rotor lids.
 Only centrifuge with rotor and rotor lid firmly tightened.
 If unusual noises occur when the centrifuge starts, the rotor or the rotor lid may not be
properly secured. Immediately press the start/stop key to stop centrifuging.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to asymmetric loading of a rotor.
 Load rotors symmetrically with identical tubes or plates and buckets.
 Only load adapters with suitable tubes or plates.
 Always use tubes or plates of the same type (weight, material/density and volume).
 Check that loading is symmetrical by balancing the adapters and tubes or plates used with
scales.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury from overloaded rotor.
The Centrifuge 5804/5804 R/5810/5810 R is designed for the centrifugation of centrifugation
material with a max. density of 1.2 g/mL at maximum speed and volume.
 Please note the information on each rotor on the maximum load (adapter, tube and contents)
per rotor bore and/or per bucket and do not exceed it.
NOTICE!
Damage to rotors from aggressive chemicals.
Rotors are high-quality components which withstand extreme stresses. This stability can be
impaired by aggressive chemicals.
 Avoid the use of aggressive chemicals, including strong and weak alkali, strong acids,
solutions with mercury, copper and other heavy metal ions, halogenated hydrocarbons,
concentrated saline solutions and phenol.
 If the rotor is contaminated by aggressive chemicals, clean it immediately using a neutral
cleaning agent. This applies to the rotor bores in particular.
 Due to the manufacturing process, color variations may occur on rotors marked "coated".
These color variations do not effect service life or resistance to chemicals.
NOTICE!
If handled incorrectly, the rotor can fall over.
The buckets of the A-2-DWP, A-2-DWP-AT, S-4-104, A-4-44, A-4-62, S-4-72, A-4-81 may not be
used as a handle.
 Before moving the rotor, remove the buckets.
 Always grip the rotor on the rotor cross using both hands.
NOTICE!
If handled incorrectly, the rotor can fall over.
 Always pick up the rotor F-35-48-17 with both hands.
 In order to hold the rotor safely, possibly you have to remove 3 to 4 sleeves from the opposite
outer row.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to chemically damaged rotor lids or caps.
Transparent rotor lids or caps made from PC, PP or PEI may lose their strength under the impact
of organic solvents (e.g. phenol, chloroform).
 If rotor lids or caps have come into contact with organic solvents, they should be cleaned
immediately.
 Regularly check the rotor lids and caps for damages and cracks.
 Replace rotor lids or caps which show cracks or milky stains immediately.
