1 Safety- and user instructions
1.1 General safety precautions
In order to put the device into operation as quickly as possible and free from de-
fects, it is necessary that you read this manual carefully before using this device.
Highest safety precautions should be used when dispensing corrosive, poisonous,
radioactive or hazardous chemicals.
■ Observe the general safety regulations for handling chemicals (e.g. protecti-
ve clothing, protective goggles).
■ Use the dispenser only with regard to the chemical resistance of materials
and for the purpose for which is intended.
■ Always check the device for leak tightness and a firm position of the plug
and socket connection before you use it.
■ Never use force. Breakage of any part will lead to hazardous exposure for
the user as well as for other persons.
■ Clean the device every day.
■ The temperature of the dispenser and reagent should not exceed 40°C (104 °F).
■ The user is responsible for checking that the device is suitable for his application.
■ The proper and secure function is only guaranteed by using the supplied
discharge tube (see page 20, component no. 6). Do not use any other
discharge tube.
■ Never use damaged or deformed tubes. If the valve is damaged, the
discharge tube might drop.
■ The discharge tube should never face the user and a collection vessel
should be placed underneath.
■ Check all screw fittings approximately one hour after each assembling or
disassembling for tightness. Temperature variations might lead to material
expansions and therefore to leakages.
■ If you are unsure about dispensing a specific chemical solution, please cont-
act your distributor.
