PERSONAL SAFETY

Flushing ozone from the system
Safety warnings regarding ozone gas are found at the
beginning of this manual. The Ozone System produces
a large amount of ozone, which can be inadvertently
"stored" within the Ozone Generators, manifolds, and
ozone lines.
Eventually the ozone (even while in the system) will
safely revert back to oxygen, but in the right conditions
the ozone can remain in the system for 24 hours or
even longer. In the event that maintenance must
be performed on the components in contact with
ozone, the following is recommended for reducing the
possibility of exposure to the ozone.
Whenever possible it is recommended that the machine
run with maximum permissible air flow for at least 10
minutes with the Ozone Output OFF in order to flush out
residual ozone.
In most circumstances, a very small amount of ozone
will be contained within the system after shutdown;
therefore, exposure will be minimal.
If the machine cannot be operated prior to maintenance
or repair, a waiting period of 12 to 24 hours (if ozone
has been produced recently) is recommended to allow
the ozone to decay by reverting back into oxygen.
Isolating energy sources
The Ozone Generator has electrical and mechanical
hazards, and maintenance or repair should not take
place unless all energy sources have been turned off,
disconnected, and/or drained.
