must be observed when operating and servicing this equipment.
WARNING – PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD:
Only fully qualified service personnel should assemble and/or make adjustments to this equipment. Assembly
or adjustments done by inexperienced, unqualified personnel could cause personal injury or result in costly
damage.
Regularly scheduled preventive maintenance, in addition to the faithful performance of the minor maintenance
described within this manual, is required for safe and reliable operation of this equipment. Contact STERIS to
schedule preventive maintenance.
When moving the unit, use a forklift.
WARNING – ELECTRIC SHOCK AND BURN HAZARD:
Disconnect all utilities to unit before servicing. Do not service the equipment unless all utilities have been properly
locked out. Always follow electrical safety-related work practice standards.
Disconnect main power switch before opening cover and working on electrical components.
For continued protection against fire hazard replace only with same type and rating of fuse.
WARNING - CHEMICAL BURN AND/OR EYE INJURY HAZARD:
When filling bottles, always wear gloves that are appropriately resistant to the chemicals being used.
Wear gloves and eye protection when using a descaling product. Avoid contact with eyes or skin. If spilled or
splashed, flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes. If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Administer an alkali
with plenty of water. Seek medical attention immediately.
Liquid descaler is corrosive and can cause adverse effects to exposed tissues. Do not get into eyes, on skin,
or attempt to swallow. Avoid breathing of mists.
• Read and follow the precautions and instructions on the descaler label and in the Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) prior to use.
• Wear protective clothing, gloves, and face shield when using descaler. If descaler contacts skin or eyes,

WARNING – HEALTH HAZARD:
Vapors from solvent can be harmful. Use with adequate ventilation. Follow directions on the container.
WARNING - SLIPPING HAZARD:
To prevent slips, keep floors dry. Promptly clean up any spills or condensation
CAUTION – POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
Use non-abrasive cleaners when cleaning unit. Follow directions on containers and rub in a back-and-forth
motion (in same direction as surface grain). Abrasive cleaners will damage stainless steel. Cleaners rubbed in
a circular motion or applied with a wire brush or steel wool can be harmful to stainless steel. Do not use these
cleaners on painted surfaces.
When removing adhesives from stainless steel, use a solvent specially formulated for that purpose. Rub in a
back-and-forth motion (in same direction as surface grain). Solvent rubbed in a circular motion or applied with
a wire brush or steel wool on assemblies can be harmful to stainless steel. Do not use solvents on painted
surfaces.
When choosing chemicals, to be added to the water, choose ones which have low viscosity and which have no
abrasives or particles that would tend to gum or clog the Acid Proportioner System.
