Warning: Risk of Injury
Take care when lifting inspection chamber covers. Breaking the seal and lifting
can put a lot of strain on the body and lead to back injuries.
Warning: Risk of Injury
Follow any site-specific safety requirements and be vigilant for open inspection
chambers as these can be trip and fall hazards.
Warning: Confined Spaces
A confined space is one which is both enclosed, or largely enclosed, and which
also has a reasonably foreseeable risk to workers of fire, explosion, loss of
consciousness, asphyxiation, or drowning. Drainage workers frequently
encounter confined spaces, and may be exposed to hazardous gases, fumes, or
vapours, which can result in serious poisoning or asphyxiation. Before entering
any confined space, you must ensure that the atmosphere is safe to enter and
you have emergency arrangements in place, including letting someone know that
you are okay and you have not been overcome by fumes, and what they need to
do in an emergency.
Warning: Risk of Electric Shock
While this equipment is designed for outdoor use, the user is responsible for
ensuring the plugs and sockets are dry and clean when connecting the CCU to
an external power source to prevent the risk of an electric shock.
Warning: Risk of Electric Shock
The system should only be operated under battery power. Do not use the
Maxprobe System when it is connected to an external power source.

Battery Safety Precautions

The battery is positioned securely within the Maxprobe CCU case. This provides the battery
with significant protection from adverse conditions, so the battery will not pose a hazard to
operators or co-workers during normal use. Do not tamper with the case or battery. In the
unlikely event that the battery is exposed (for example, through severe damage to the CCU
case), please read the following safety precautions carefully:
Warning: Risk of Damage to the Eyes
In the event that the battery leaks and the fluid gets into one's eye, do not rub the
eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated
the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.
Warning: Explosion or Fire Risk
Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the specified device.
When the battery is used in devices aside from the specified device it may
damage the performance of the battery or reduce its life expectancy, and if the
device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery to become
hot, explode, or ignite and cause serious injury.
