Lifting
The instrument exceeds the weight one person can lift safely. Two or more people are required to lift the instrument safely. Refer
to the Technical Specifications for the weight. Always lift the instrument from the base and follow any unpacking instructions
provided with the instrument.
Voltage
Access to the rear panel is necessary. The instrument must be detached from all voltage sources before service, repair, or
exchange of parts. For normal operation, the instrument is to be grounded through the AC line cord and power supply provided.
Failure to do so can result in a potential shock hazard that could result in serious personal injury.
Use only fuses with the rated current and of the specified type as listed on the rear panel label on the instrument. The instrument
must only be operated with the voltage specified on the rear panel label of the instrument and with the grounded AC line cord
and power supply provided.
Solvents
Observe safe laboratory practices when handling solvents. If working with hazardous solvents or flammable liquids, ensure that
there is proper ventilation and that adequate protection such as safety glasses, gloves, and protective clothing are used.
If dangerous liquids are used, precautions should be taken to limit potential hazards from leaks and/or spillage through the use
of a non-flammable tray or use of a fume hood, etc.
If there is the potential of explosive gases being developed, a fume hood or other means should be used to safely manage that
risk.
Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheets for the solvents before use.
Probes
Keep hands clear of probe to avoid risk of personal injury by piercing while operating the instrument. Because the probe
installed on the Z-arm may contain dangerous substances, do not interfere in the work area of the instrument until it has
completed its procedures.
Replacement Parts
Be sure to use only replacement parts mentioned in the user’s guide. Do not repair the instrument or change parts not listed in
the user’s guide.
