Inspections Before Start
Always verify that the admittance panel retainers and the press bars of the snap-open access
ports function correctly. If an admittance panel or a snap-open access port fails to close firmly,
stop using the unit immediately and request repairs.
Be sure to perform the relevant checks before putting the unit into service. Failure to do so may
result in failures being overlooked, which may cause a serious accident.
Before using the unit, check it carefully for any faults, contamination, and missing or defective parts to ensure
it can be operated safely
