15.2 Safety Considerations
The NEG pump becomes very hot when in operation. The
software-controlled sequence to remove the NEG pump
provides a cool-down period; this sequencing must not
be bypassed. In addition to the danger of burns from
handling the hot flange, the reactive metal alloys within
the pump can ignite if exposed to atmospheric pressure
while hot. If this should occur, drop the pump into a
bucket of sand and cover with more sand. If this is not
practical, set the pump, on its black plastic base, on a
non-flammable surface. The NEG pump will burn out in a
few minutes.
WARNING - Risk Of Electric Shock
Whenever accessing the internal components of the
Service Module, always disconnect the power cord and
remove the battery to reduce the danger of electrical
shock.
WARNING - Risk Of Electric Shock
The cover of the HAPSITE should never be removed
while the Service Module is connected, while the battery
is installed, or when the external power supply is
connected as high voltages may be present.
