Before connecting the VGA 77, make sure the voltage selector is
correctly set for the mains supply to which you are connecting
the accessory (see Figure 2 on Page 23).
A blown fuse should be replaced with one of the same size and rating
stated in the text near the fuse holder.
Chemical Hazards
Vapor generation methods of analysis involve the generation of toxic
hydrides and use materials which are toxic, highly corrosive or
otherwise hazardous. Careless, improper, or unskilled use of such
materials can cause serious personal injury.
Always ensure that laboratory safety practices governing the use,
handling and disposal of such materials are strictly observed. These
safety practices should include the wearing of appropriate safety
clothing.
In the VGA 77 system, highly concentrated acids are pumped under
pressure. If a leak occurs, acid could be sprayed from the system,
causing serious personal injury. Always wear approved safety glasses
warranted to protect the eyes.
Never pump concentrated sulfuric acid through the VGA 77 system.
