PRESSURE REGULATOR
Lubricate the o-rings in the pressure regulator
every 100 hours. Use only o-ring lubricant (Part
#13-003).
VACUUM HOSES
To ensure maximum hose life, SAPPHIRE
SCIENTIFIC recommends that you wash out
the hoses with fresh water daily. Microban QGC
cleaner as the best product for cleaning and
sanitizing the wands and hoses as well as other
parts of the system
BATTERY
!
Explosive gases, Dangerous acid!
Batteries contain sulfuric acid. To prevent acid
burns, avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Batteries also produce explosive hydrogen gases
while charging. To prevent fire or explosion,
charge batteries only in a well ventilated area.
Keep sparks, open flames, as well as any other
sources of ignition away from batteries at all
times. Remove all jewelry prior to servicing
batteries. Keep batteries out of the reach of
children.
Before disconnecting the negative (−) ground
cable, ensure that all switches are in the OFF
position. If ON, a spark could occur at the
ground connection terminal which could cause
an explosion if hydrogen gas or gasoline
vapors are present. ALWAYS disconnect the
negative (−) terminal first.
1. If you do not have a maintenance free sealed
battery, check the fluid level in the battery at
least once a week. If low, fill to the
recommended level ONLY with distilled water.
DO NOT overfill the battery. Early failure or
poor performance will result due to loss of
electrolyte.
2. Keep cables, terminals and external surfaces of
the battery clean and dry. A buildup of corrosive
acid or grime on the external surfaces could
cause the battery to self-discharge.
3. Battery terminals should be cleaned every 100
hours to prevent corrosion buildup. Wash the
cables, terminals and external surfaces with a
mild baking soda and water solution. Rinse
thoroughly with fresh water. DO NOT allow
baking soda to enter the battery cells, as this will
destroy the electrolyte, resulting in battery failure
HIGH PRESSURE SOLUTION
HOSES
Inspect your high-pressure solution hoses for
wear after the first 100 hours. Thereafter, inspect
every 25 hours. If the hoses show any signs of
damage or impending rupture, replace the hoses.
!
NEVER attempt to repair high-pressure
solution hoses. Repairing high-pressure
solution hoses may result in severe burns and
serious injury.
All high-pressure solution hoses must be rated
for 3000 PSI at 250 deg. F. Thermoplastic
hoses do not meet this requirement and should
not be used. Severe burns and injury may
result if the hoses do not meet these
requirements.
