It isimportant to review ALL Safety Precautions before operating or servicing the unit.

WARNING – PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD:

WARNING – LACERATION AND/OR EYE INJURY HAZARD:

WARNING – LACERATION HAZARD:

WARNING – ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD:

WARNING – SLIPPING HAZARD:

Use a forklift to move unit.

Unit weighs approximately 440 lb (200 kg). At least two people are required to move unit.

Wear eye protection and always use a tool specifically designed for cutting bands. Bands used tosecure this crate can cause personal injury when cut and tension is released.

Wear gloves to protect your hands when removing bolts or nails.

Do not insert power cord into wall receptacle until so directed. Electrical shock can cause serious injury.

Fasteners and star washers are used to ensure protective bonding continuity. Always reinstall any starwasher which may have been removed during installation or servicing.

Allow instrument tray to fully drain prior to moving to next cleaning station. Excess water spillage maycause electric shock hazard and produce personal injury.

To prevent slips, keep floors dry. Promptly clean up any spills or drippage. If spills or drippage are deter-gents or other chemicals, follow safety precautions and handling procedures set forth on detergent orchemical label and /or Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
