General precautions

Do not disassemble or modify the analyzer, except as otherwise instructed in this manual.

Before turning on the power switch, check that the power voltage is appropriate.

Do not use the cord set (power cable) and other accessories with other than the
corresponding analyzer.

Carbon monoxide is highly toxic and so a high concentration of it entering the respiratory
system or even, for example, inhaling a low concentration (10 ppm or less) of it for a long
period of time is extremely dangerous. Strictly observe the following.

Check that there is no leak from the span gas line.

Connect all exhaust ports to exhausts which output to a safe outdoor location.

Adjustment of this analyzer was performed before shipment from the factory.
