FYRITE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The operator (s) of this instrument should thoroughly familiarize themselves with the
applicable safety precautions before handling or using the FYRITE for gas analysis.
Review Figures 1a,1b, 1c and 1d on this page. Make certain to follow the steps out-
lined below and read the
fl
uid handling precautions for your personal safety.
1) Always use protective equipment such as safety goggles, gloves, and protective
clothing as illustrated in Figure 1a.
2) Read the instruction manual thoroughly. When
fi
lling the FYRITE with the appli-
cable
fl
uid charge, use safety equipment and perform the operation in the vicinity
of running tap water (Figure 1b).
3) The
FYRITE
fl
uid should always be in the bottom reservoir before and during
sample introduction to the FYRITE. When venting the FYRITE to atmosphere,
hold the instrument in the vertical position and at a location away from your face
(Figure 1c).
4)
NEVER
vent FYRITE in the inverted position (with the plunger facing down-
ward). This will cause
fl
uid to spill, which is corrosive and contains harmful ele-
ments (Figure 1d).
NOTE:
In the event of
fl
uid spill - refer to Section 2.2 (FYRITE Handling
Precautions). For Maintenance - refer to Section 6.0.
