Safety Considerations; Before You Begin - Davey microlene MCS Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Safety Considerations

Although your UV system has been manufactured to the highest safety standards,
care must be followed when operating and/or maintaining your system.
1. Before servicing this equipment, disconnect the power cord from the electrical
outlet.
2. Energy given off by the UV lamp is harmful to your eyes and skin.
NEVER look directly at an illuminated UV lamp without adequate eye
protection and always protect your skin from direct exposure to the UV light.
3. For complete disinfection, use ONLY genuine replacement parts.
4. Do not operate the unit if it has any damaged or missing components.
5. To avoid possible electrical shock, use only with a properly grounded electrical
outlet.
6. Never perform any maintenance to the system unless you are comfortable in
doing so. Contact the manufacturer for service instructions if required.
7. Do not use this system for any purpose other than what it was intended for.
Misuse of this system could potentially cause harm to the user or others.
8. Your system is intended to be installed indoors and away from leaking
plumbing. DO NOT plug the unit in if the system or any of the components are
wet.
9. The disinfection system should be directly installed into a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI). If the use of an extension cord is required, the cord must
be manufactured with a minimum of 16 gauge wire and care should be taken
to avoid potential tripping hazards.
10. We recommend that a licensed plumber or certified technician install the
system.
