maintaining the instrument.

The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service,

SAFETY

Safety Interlocks

The instrument is configured with one of two safety interlocks. One interlock is used when the

rotating cover is installed on the instrument, and the other interlock is an external sensor and

is used when the instrument is located in a hood.

The safety interlocks prevent the instrument from operating when the rotating cover or hood

door is open.

When the instrument is installed in the hood, the external sensor must face the door of the

hood and be located within 15 cm (6 in) of the door.

Pipette Heads

The instrument is capable of generating significant forces that could cause potential injury

to the user. For an instrument with the rotating cover installed, the safety interlock in the

cover will disable the instrument movement if the cover on the instrument is open. For an

instrument installed in a hood, the external safety interlock sensor mounted on the instrument

will disable the instrument movement if the hood door is open.

Tip Waste Container

The tip waste container may contain residues of flammable or infectious liquids in ejected

tips.

If you use flammable liquids (e.g., ethanol 98%), treat the waste before disposing of it in

accordance with your laboratory guidelines.

Dispose of infectious material, waste, or tips in accordance with national and local safety

regulations.

SAFETY

Tray

The moving tray is capable of causing injury by pinching. For an instrument with the rotating

cover installed, the safety interlock in the cover will disable the instrument movement if the

cover on the instrument is open. For an instrument installed in a hood, the external safety

interlock sensor mounted on the instrument will disable the instrument movement if the hood

door is open.

Liquids

Observe safe laboratory practices when handling liquids. If working with biological samples

or chemical substances, ensure that there is proper ventilation, and wear personal protective

equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses, gloves, and protective clothing at all times.

Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheets for solvents before use.

Replacement Parts

Be sure to use only replacement parts specified in this user’s guide. Do not repair or change

parts which are not listed in this user’s guide. If it is necessary to change parts not listed,

please contact your local Gilson representative.

UNPACKING

Unpacking

PIPETMAX is delivered with most major components already assembled. Keep the original

packaging if PIPETMAX must be returned to the factory.

These instructions assume that you have already cut the shipping straps and tape and have

cut open the box.

1. Remove the open-ended cardboard box.

2. Remove the box of accessories and open it.

3. Lift the printed, outer cardboard box up to remove.

CAUTION

It is recommended that two people lift PIPETMAX out of the box as it weighs

approximately 24.9 kg (55lbs.).

4. Grip PIPETMAX at the recesses near the base. There is one recess in the front, one in

the back, and one on each side. Use these recesses when lifting PIPETMAX out of the

foam-lined, cardboard tray.

NOTICE

Do not attempt to lift PIPETMAX from the cover or from the X-arm (the horizontal arm).

Always lift the instrument from its base.

5. Place PIPETMAX with cover on a lab bench.

PIPETMAX is configured with one of two safety interlocks. One interlock is internal to

the rotating cover installed on the instrument, and the other interlock is an external

sensor used when the instrument is located in a hood. The safety interlocks prevent the

instrument from operating when the rotating cover or hood door is open. If PIPETMAX

was ordered without a rotating cover, it must run in a hood. When the instrument is

installed in the hood, the external sensor must face the door of the hood and be located

within 15 cm (6 in) of the door.
