symbol on our machine or in this manual, be alert to
the potentially of personal injury.

Follow recommended precautions and safe operating
practices.

Understand Signal Words

A signal word - DANGER, WARNING, OR CAUTION
is used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identi­fies the most serious hazards.

DANGER

Safety signs with signal word DANGER or WARNING
are typically near specific hazards.

General precautions are listed on CAUTION safety
signs. CAUTION also calls attention to safety mes­sages in this manual.

WARNING

CAUTION

Follow Safety Instructions

Carefully read all safety messages in this manual and on your machine safety signs. Keep safety signs in
good condition. Replace missing or damaged safety signs. Learn how to operate the machine and how to
use the controls properly . Do not let anyone operate the machine without instructions. Keep your machine in
proper working condition. Unauthorized modifications to the machine may impair function and/or safety and
affect the machine life.

CO2(Carbon Dioxide) Warning

CO2Displaces Oxygen. Strict Attention must be observed in the prevention of CO2(carbon dioxide)
gas leaks in the entire CO2and soft drink system. If a CO2gas leak is suspected, particularly in a
small area, immediately ventilate the contaminated area before attempting to repair the leak. Person­nel exposed to high concentration of CO2gas will experience tremors which are followed rapidly by
loss of consciousness and suffocation.

Shipping, Storing, Or Relocating Unit

CAUTION: Before shipping, storing, or relocating this Unit, the syrup systems must be sanitized and
all sanitizing solution must be purged from the syrup systems. All water must also be purged from
the plain and carbonated water systems. A freezing ambient temperature will cause residual water
remaining inside the Unit to freeze resulting in damage to internal components of the Unit.
