VOLTAGE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. 
 
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS DEVICE TO RAIN 
OR MOISTURE. DANGEROUS HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE. 
 
READ AND UNDERSTAND HOW MOVING PARTS ARE CONTROLLED BEFORE OPERATING THE 
MACHINE.  KEEP  YOUR  FINGERS  AWAY  FROM  MOVING  PARTS;  NEGLECTING  TO  DO  SO  MAY

2.  Do  not  block  any  ventilation  openings.  Install  the  machine 

in  accordance  with  the  manufacturer’s 

instructions. See Site Preparation in section 1.5 for details. 

 

3.  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades 

with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong, which 
is  provided  for  your  safety.    If  the  provided  plug  does  not  fit  into  your  outlet,  consult  an  electrician  for 
replacement of the obsolete outlet or contact Biorep Technologies, Inc. at (305) 330-4449. 

 

4.  Protect the power cord, the power entry module, and the plug from being walked on or pinched to avoid 

damaging them. 

 

5.  Refer all servicing of the machine  to qualified personnel.  Servicing is required when the apparatus has 

been  damaged  in  any  way,  for  example:    the  power-supply  cord  or  plug  is  damaged,  liquid  has  been 
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, or if the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, 
has been dropped, or does not operate normally for any reason.
