− Never modify the electric circuit. − Do not bypass or make inoperative built-in safety devices. − Do not modify presettings on safety components. − Replace fuses that have blown only by the same type of fuse: Value, switch-off characteristics. AGFA d-lab.3 2003-06-01 /PN 9008...
Page 20: For The Operation
− Repairs on electrical components − Maintenance jobs / removal of parts and covers not described in this documentation − Use original Agfa spare parts: Only these parts have been tested for their safety and usability − When replacing electrical components: Observe the data given in the circuit and wiring diagrams.
Page 21: Handling Photochemicals
Information about the regulations in force can be obtained from: − The country’s authorities in charge − The nearest Agfa subsidiary Disposal Spent Processing Solutions The processing solutions in use are usually only slightly water polluting (Water pollution class 1).
