High pressure liquids and gases are potentially hazardous.  Energy stored in these liquids and gases 
can be released unexpectedly and with extreme force.  High pressure systems should be assembled 
and operated only by personnel who have been instructed in proper safety practices. 

 

 

This instrument is not to be operated in any other manner than that specified by the manufacturer.
