Hazards and Precautions
Hazards
The following hazards are provided to help avoid injury:
Warning! Power Rating. The instrument’s power supply or power cord
must be connected to a power receptacle that provides voltage and
current within the specified rating for the system. Use of an incompatible
power receptacle may produce electrical shock and fire hazards.
Warning! Electrical Grounding. Never use a two-prong plug adapter
to connect primary power to the external power supply. Use of a two-
prong adapter disconnects the utility ground, creating a severe shock
hazard. Always connect the power cord directly to an appropriate
receptacle with a functional ground.
Warning! Service. Only qualified technical personnel should perform
service procedures on internal components.
Warning! Accessories. Only accessories which meet the manufacturer’s
specifications shall be used with the instrument.
Warning! Lubricants. Do not apply lubricants to the microplate carrier or
carrier track. Lubricant on the carrier mechanism will attract dust and
other particles, which may obstruct the carrier path and cause the
instrument to produce an error.
Warning! Liquids. Avoid spilling liquids on the instrument; fluid
seepage into internal components creates a potential for shock hazard
or instrument damage. If a spill occurs while a program is running, abort
the program and turn the instrument off. Wipe up all spills immediately.
Do not operate the instrument if internal components have been
exposed to fluid.
Warning! Unspecified Use. Failure to operate this equipment
according to the guidelines and safeguards specified in this manual could
result in a hazardous condition.
Warning! Direct Drain Waste. If installed, the direct drain waste
system pumps waste fluids from the washer directly into a sink or tank,
and, potentially into public waste water systems. Because the waste
may be a biohazard, you must ensure that you are in compliance with
your local or national government’s laws regarding safe disposal of the
waste.
