Handling Precautions
Installation and Preparation Before Use
WARNING
Do Not Use Flammable or Explosive Gases or Vapors.
Do NOT use flammable or explosive substances, or materials containing such substances. This
may cause an explosion and/or fire. The substances that must not be used are listed on Page 32 for
reference.
Abnormal Condition
If you notice smoke or unusual odors coming from the product, immediately stop using it and contact
the dealer or your nearest Yamato Scientific representative office to ask for an inspection. Leaving it
as is may cause a fire or electrical shock. Do NOT repair the product yourself--this is highly
dangerous.
Do Not Place Hands, Tools or the Like Inside Incubator While It Is Shaking.
Do not place your hand, a tool, or the like inside the incubator while it is shaking. This is very
dangerous. Since the shaking table has a great inertia, if your hand or any part of your body is
pinched immediately after stopping the operation or while it is shaking at a slower speed, you will be
injured.
Even if the door safety function is on, it takes nearly ten seconds for the shaking to stop after the door
is opened. Do not touch the table or anything on the table until after the shaking stops completely.
Intrusion of Foreign Matter
Foreign matter which intrudes or is accidentally introduced inside the incubator may affect the internal
mechanism such as hindering the action of the shaking table or V pulley, and lead to a failure. If
foreign matter gets inside the incubator, immediately turn off both the power switch on the front panel
and the earth leakage breaker at the rear and shut off the supply power, and then remove the matter.
Leaving it as is may cause an equipment failure, fire, or electrical shock.
CAUTION
Approaching Thunderstorms
If a thunderstorm approaches in the distance, immediately turn off the power on the front panel (and
earth leakage breaker at the rear) and shut off the supply power. Leaving the power turned on may
cause a fire or electrical shock.
During Power Failure
While the earth leakage breaker or the power switch is turned off, or during a power failure, the
temperature setpoint is backed up by a built-in battery. The shaking speed is retained since it is set
with a knob. These features allow an automatic restart with the previous set values after a power
recovery.
