WARNING: USE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTS
Risk of injury. During some application cycles the system can possibly exceed OSHA
1910.95 Occupational Noise Exposure Limits, the EU noise directive 2003/10/EC or
other regional noise limits. The noise level depends upon the process, duty cycle,
installation or environment in which the system is being operated. A sound pressure
survey must be conducted after installation. If necessary, set up controls to make
sure that the relevant limits are not exceeded during operation and that precautions
are taken to prevent personnel from exposure to high noise levels during operation.
WARNING: HOT SURFACES
Risk of burn injury. The pump exhaust will heat up when the pump is in operation. Do
not touch the pump surface.
