2.2 Warnings
To avoid serious injury or death, read this manual
carefully before operating this unit. Contact the
manufacturer using contact information on the back
cover of this manual if you have any questions.
Eye protection: Proper eye protection must be worn
when operating the VCX-32HD.
Avoid fluid spillage: When disconnecting the quick
disconnect fittings, wrap a shop rag around fitting to
catch any residual fluid.
Do not leave the VCX-32HD running unattended.
Always disconnect from power/air source when the
VCX-32HD is not in use.
Do not drink antifreeze or coolant solution. If
swallowed, drink two glasses of water, induce
vomiting, and call a physician.
Avoid inhaling mist or hot vapors (Ethylene glycol
base). If inhaled, move to fresh air and call a
physician. Use the unit in locations with mechanical
ventilation that provides at least 4 air changes per
hour. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate
the work area before resuming work.
Do not store ethylene glycol based solutions in
open or unlabeled containers. Ethylene glycol causes
birth defects in laboratory animals; solution may taste
pleasant to animals, but is poisonous to them.
Contact with antifreeze/coolant may cause injury.
Hot antifreeze/coolant can burn skin and injure
eyes. Wear protective equipment, including safety
goggles and gloves, when operating this equipment. If
contact with eyes occurs, call physician immediately,
and flush eyes with cold water for 30 minutes. If
contact with skin occurs, thoroughly wash area with
soap and water.
Vehicle cooling systems which are hot, are under
pressure – opening a hot system, except as
described in this manual, can cause an uncontrolled
release of engine coolant. Do not open the radiator
cap, and do not remove hoses from a hot system
except as directed in this manual.
Do not pressurize the vehicle cooling system above
its pressure rating. Doing so may result in cooling
system failure and the release of engine coolant.
Never run a vehicle engine without adequate
ventilation. Breathing vehicle emissions can cause
sickness, injury, or death
The ignition key must be in the off position, unless
otherwise directed. To avoid unintentional engine start
up, use a lockout key and/or signage to alert
personnel that work is being performed.
The VCX-32HD is to be used with only antifreeze
and coolant. Do not use the VCX-32HD with any
other fluid.
Engine fluids (oil, fuel, and coolant) may be a
hazard to human health and the environment.
Handle all fluids and other contaminated materials
(such as filters and rags) in accordance with
applicable regulations. Recycle or dispose of engine
fluids, filters, and other contaminated materials
according to applicable regualtions.
Failure to understand and obey these warnings may
result in personal injury and / or property damage.
