Accident Prevention Prerequisite for the safe operation of the Sorvall ST 16/16R is a work environment in compliance with standards, directives and trade association safety regulations and proper instruction of the user. The safety regulations contain the following basic recommendations: • Maintain a radius of at least 30 cm around the centrifuge. • Implementation of special measures which ensure that no one can approach the centrifuge for longer than absolutely necessary while it is running. • The mains plug must be freely accessible at all times. Pull out the power supply plug or disconnect...

• Never open the lid until the rotor has come to a complete stop and this has been confirmed in the display. • The lid emergency release may be used in emergencies only to recover the samples from the centrifuge, e.g. during a power failure (see section “Mechanical Emergency Door Release” on page 7-2). • Never use the centrifuge if parts of its cover panels are damaged or missing. • Do not touch the electronic components of the centrifuge or alter any electronic or mechanical components. • Please observe the safety instructions. Please pay particular attention to the following aspects: • Location:...
