Before You Start
Safety Information 1
1-5
• The instrument is intended for indoor use only.
• The bath is a precision instrument. Although it has been
designed for optimum durability and trouble free operation,
it must be handled with care. Position the bath before the
tank is filled with fluid by rolling it into place. DO NOT
attempt to lift the bath. Due to the weight of the compressor,
it may require two people to safely move the bath. The area
containing the compressor will be heavier than the rest of
the bath. DO NOT move a bath filled with fluid (see Moving
or Uncrating the Bath in Chapter 5).
BURN HAZARD:
• Extremely cold temperatures may be present in this
equipment. Freezer burns and frostbite may result if
personnel fail to observe safety precautions.
• High temperatures may be present in this equipment. Fires
and severe burns may result if personnel fail to observe
safety precautions.
• The drain tube and dust cover of the Fluid Expansion
Reservoir may be hot. Handle them carefully and always be
sure the drain tube is fully inserted into the elbow of the
dust cover.
• The drain tube of the Fluid Expansion Reservoir is not
designed to handle large flow rates encountered by
overfilling the tank. It is intended for expanding fluid rates
from heating only. Fill tank only until the level reaches the
top of the baffle (see Figure 4-1).
ELECTRICAL HAZARD:
• These guidelines must be followed to ensure that the safety
mechanisms in this instrument will operate properly. This
instrument must be plugged into a 115 VAC, 60Hz (230 VAC, 50Hz
optional), AC only electric outlet. The power cord of the instrument
is equipped with a three-pronged grounding plug for your protection
against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle. The receptacle must be
installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a
qualified electrician. DO NOT use an extension cord or adapter plug.
• DO use a ground fault interrupt device. This instrument contains a
fluid. A ground fault device is advised in case fluid is present in the
electrical system and could cause an electrical shock.
• Always replace the power cord with an approved cord of the correct
rating and type. If you have questions, contact an Authorized
Service Center (see Authorized Service Centers in Chapter 1).
• High voltage is used in the operation of this equipment. Severe
injury or death may result if personnel fail to observe the safety
precautions. Before working inside the equipment, turn off the
power and disconnect the power cord.
