Chemical Hazards
The MagnaTran 7 robot does not make use of any hazardous chemicals. However, it
may be recommended that Isopropyl alcohol be used for cleaning sections of the
product during routine maintenance procedures.
DANGER
Some chemicals may leave a flammable or toxic residue.
Robot arms and all surfaces inside the vacuum environment could
have very hazardous contamination as a result of exposure to process
gases.
Decontamination certification should be obtained prior to perform-
ing a repair on or near these surfaces.
Personal protective equipment such as gloves, eye wear, respirators,
self-contained breathing apparatus, etc. may also be required.
When a chemical is used during servicing the robot, the standard precautions for use
of that chemical must be observed. These safeguards include sufficient ventilation,
proper disposal of excess chemical and wipes and any other precautions specified for
use of hazardous chemicals within the facility where the robot is being used.
WARNING
Whenever any cleaning fluid is used during service of the robot, the
facilities’ environmental procedures must be followed regarding the
storage, handling, and disposal of this fluid along with any affected
apparatus.
The robot may be used in a high temperature environment. Allow the
robot to completely cool before performing maintenance involving
volatile chemicals.
