1.2 Safety Precautions:

Failure to follow these instructions will result in serious injury or death.
• Electric Shock: To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is present near the electrical equipment. Unless a
situation is encountered that is explicitly addressed by the provided maintenance and troubleshooting sections, DO NOT attempt repairs yourself,
refer to an authorized service facility.
• GROUNDING: This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This system is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided with this system – if it does not fit in
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. DO NOT use any type of adapter with this system.
• GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION: To comply with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and to provide additional
protection from the risk of electric shock, this system should only be connected to a properly grounded, grounding-type controller receptacle that is
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or to a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding
30 mA. Inspect operation of GFCI as per manufacturer's suggested maintenance schedule.
• DO NOT operate the disinfection system if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
• DO NOT use this disinfection system for other than intended use (potable water applications). The use of attachments not recommended or sold by
the manufacturer / distributor may cause an unsafe condition.
• DO NOT install this disinfection system where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
• DO NOT store this disinfection system where it will be exposed to the weather.
