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 because the liquid handler must be detached from all voltage sources before service, repair,
or exchange of parts.
For normal operation, the liquid handler is to be grounded through the AC line cord 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 of the instrument.
The instrument must only be operated with the voltage specified on the rear panel label of the instrument using a grounded
AC line cord.
Probes
While operating the liquid handler, keep hands clear of probe to avoid risk of personal injury by piercing.
Because the probe installed on the Z-arm may contain a dangerous substance, do not interfere in the work area of the
instrument until the liquid handler has completed its procedures.
Solvents
Observe safe laboratory practices when handling solvents. If dangerous liquids are used, adequate protection such as proper
ventilation, safety glasses, etc., should be used.
Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheets for the solvents before use.
Replacement Parts
Be sure to use only replacement parts mentioned in this user’s guide. If it is necessary to change parts not listed, please contact
your local Gilson.
