Section 1 Safety

Other than water, before using any fluid, or when performing maintenance where contact
with the fluid is likely, refer to the manufacturer's MSDS and EC Safety Data sheet for
handling precautions.
Ensure the tubing you select will meet your maximum temperature and pressure
requirements.
Never operate damaged or leaking equipment.
Never operate the unit without fluid in the reservoir.
Never operate the unit or add fluid to the reservoir with panels removed.
Never operate the unit with the immersion circulator removed from the bath.
Do not mount the immersion circulator backwards on the bath; the line cord could contact
the reservoir fluid. Ensure the electrical cords do not come in contact with any of the
plumbing connections or tubing.
Operate the unit using only the supplied line cords, never operate equipment with damaged
cords.

Ensure all communication and electrical connections are made prior to starting the unit.
If the unit's power cord is used as the disconnecting device, it must be easily accessible at
all times.
Always turn the unit off and disconnect the supply voltage from its power source before
moving the unit or before performing any service or maintenance procedures.
Ensure, that no toxic gases can be generated by the fluid. Inflammable gases can build up
over the fluid during usage.
Transport the unit with care. Sudden jolts or drops can damage the unit's components.
Ensure the fluid is at a safe temperature (20°C to 55°C) before handling or draining.
Drain the unit before it is transported and/or stored in near or below freezing temperatures,
see Draining in Section 3.
Do not clean the unit with solvents, a soft cloth and water is normally sufficient.
Refer service and repairs to a qualified technician.
Performance of installation, operation, or maintenance procedures other than
those described in this manual may result in a hazardous situation and will void the
manufacturer's warranty.
