Safety Precautions
viii
Warning signs (adhesive aluminium plates) are available to indicate hydrogen gas use.
Ask your Shimadzu representative for more details about the attachment. Signs are
supplied free of charge to sites in which they are mandatory.
For safety, use a hydrogen generator if at all possible.
When high pressure gas will be used, take care to provide
adequate ventilation, and check for gas leakage using soapy
water, etc. prior to starting operations.
Do not release hydrogen gas directly from the high-pressure
gas cylinder into the air.
When gas usage ends, immediately shut off the main supply
valve of the cylinder.
Inspect the pressure gauge at least once every three months.
