Proper and Improper use

Solvents

The mechanical components of leak detectors are typically cleaned with
WARNING
alcohol, methanol, or other solvents.
When heated, sprayed, or exposed to high-temperature equipment, these
solvents become flammable and explosive, causing serious injury or death.
Do not use these solvents near a high-temperature source. Ventilate the
working area with a blower and work in a large, well-ventilated room.
Alcohol, methanol, or other solvents are irritants, narcotics, depressants
and/or carcinogens. Their inhalation and/or ingestion may produce serious
side effects. Prolonged or continued contact with the skin results in
absorption through the skin and moderate toxicity. Always ensure that
cleaning operations are carried out in large, well-ventilated rooms, and wear
eye shields, gloves, and protective clothing.
To clean the leak detector enclosure and the Touch Panel display use only a
soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap.
DO NOT USE EXCESS WATER OR CLEANING SOLVENTS OF ANY KIND.
Avoid splashing any cleaning solvents into the unit through the ventilation
openings or Front Panel buttons. Wipe the surface with a dry lint-free cloth.
Do not clean any aluminum parts with Alconox®. Alconox is not compatible with
CAUTION
aluminum and will cause damage.
