General Safety Considerations
Your Bead Bath™ and its recommended accessories have been designed and tested to meet strict safety
requirements.
For continued safe operation of your bead bath, always follow basic safety precautions including:
Read this entire manual before using the Bead Bath™.
Be sure you follow any city, county, or other ordinances in your area regarding the use of this unit.
Use only approved accessories. Do not modify system components. Any alterations or modifications
to your bead bath may be dangerous and will void your warranty.
The Bead Bath™ is designed for use with Lab Armor® Beads only. Do not use liquids in Bead Bath™
tank.
Always plug the unit’s power cord into a grounded electrical outlet that conforms to national and local
electrical codes. If the unit is not grounded, parts such as knobs and controls may conduct electricity
and cause serious injury.
Do not connect the unit to a power source of any other voltage or frequency beyond the range stated
on the power rating overlay at the rear of the unit.
Do not modify the power cord provided with the unit. If the plug does not fit an outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Avoid damaging the power cord. Do not bend it excessively, step on it, place heavy objects on it. A
damaged cord can easily become a shock or fire hazard. Never use a power cord after it has become
damaged.
Do not position equipment in a manner that prohibits access to power cord.
Do not attempt to move the unit during operation or before the unit has been allowed to cool.
