•  Do not operate the system dry. Always 

ensure that it contains sufficient water.

•  Remove from the vicinity of the system 

anything that could ignite 

the hydrogen (naked flame, 

materials that can become 

charged with static electricity, 

substances with a catalytic action).

•  Remove from the vicinity of the system 

all substances that could spontaneously 

ignite with increased oxygen 

concentration.

•  Tell you students about any potential 

dangers and carefully supervise 

experimentation.

General Safety Precautions

•  Hoses, plugs and tanks are used for 

pressure compensation. They must 

not be fixed or secured with clamps, 

adhesive, etc.

•  Do not position any solar modules and 

lights in use closer than the minimum 

permitted distance (50  cm between 

H-TEC Education solar modules and the 

H-TEC Education Spotlight, or see other 

manufacturers’ stipulations).

•  The surface of solar modules can get 

very hot during extended operation.

H-TEC Education does not accept responsibility for injuries or damage sustained in the event of 

these Safety Precautions not being followed.
