2. Operator responsibility – Safety instructions
The products of JULABO ensure safe operation when installed, operated, and maintained according to common
safety regulations. This section explains the potential dangers that may arise when operating the circulator and
also specifies the most important safety precautions to preclude these dangers as far as possible.
The operator is responsible for the qualification of the personnel operating the units.
The personnel operating the units should be regularly instructed about the dangers involved with their job
activities as well as measures to avert these dangers.
Make sure all persons tasked with operating, installing, and maintaining the unit have read and understand
the safety information and operating instructions.
When using hazardous materials or materials that could become hazardous, the circulator may be operated
only by persons who are absolutely familiar with these materials and the circulator. These persons must be
fully aware of possible risks.
