safety DireCtions
The symbols used in this manual have the following meanings:
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an unintended use which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an unintended use which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury and/or
appreciable material, financial and environmental damage.
Important paragraphs which must be adhered to in practice as they enable the product to be used in a technically correct and
efficient manner.
The following directions should enable the person responsible for the product, and the person who actually uses the equipment, to anticipate and
avoid operational hazards.
PermitteD use:
The products are intended to be used for the detection and localization of underground metallic services: cables and metallic pipes. Utili-Gen is for
indoor use only.
rePair:
The products contain no user serviceable parts and do not require regular maintenance. Only Utili-Finder authorised service workshops are entitled to repair
these products.
Do not
• Use products with obviously recognizable damage or defects
• Connect Utili-Gen to a electrical socket with recognizable damage or defects or when wet
• Open or modify the product using tools, for example screwdriver
• Disable electrical equipment safety systems
• Remove hazard notices
HazarDs of use
High mechanical stress, high ambient temperatures or immersion into fluids can cause leakage, fire or explosions of the batteries.
Precautions:
Protect the batteries from mechanical influences and high ambient temperatures. Do not drop or immerse batteries into fluids.
During the transport, shipping or disposal of batteries it is possible for inappropriate mechanical influences to constitute a fire hazard.
Precautions:
Before shipping the product or disposing of it, discharge the batteries by running the product until they are flat.
The depth reading might not reflect the real depth when the Utili-Finder picks up the signal induced into the service by the Utili-Gen. This signal is
radiated from the centre of the service, readings with larger diameter pipes will read shallow.
Precautions:
Always compensate depth reading for service size.
The absence of a positive indication does not guarantee the non-existence of a service.
Services without a detectable signal may be present.
The Utilifinder cannot locate non-metallic services such as plastic pipes, typically used by the water and gas utilities.
Precautions:
Always excavate with care.
When transporting or shipping batteries, the person in charge of the product must ensure that the applicable national and international rules and regulations are
observed. Before transportation or shipping contact your local passenger or freight transport company.
DisPosal
The product must not be disposed with household waste. Dispose of the product appropriately in accordance with the national regulations in
force in your country.
Always prevent access to the product by unauthorised personnel.
If the product is improperly disposed of, the following can happen:--
• If polymer parts are burnt, poisonous gases are produced which may impair health
• If batteries are damaged or are heated strongly, they can explode and cause poisoning, burning, corrosion or environmental contamination
• By disposing of the product irresponsibly you may enable unauthorised persons to use it in contravention of the regulations, exposing themselves and third parties
to the risk of severe injury and rendering the environment liable to contamination
• Improper disposal of silicone oil may cause environmental contamination
Precautions:
Product specific treatment and waste management information can be downloaded from the Utili-Finder website at www.utilifinder.com or received
from your Utili-Finder dealer.
