2.5 Safety Precautions for Maintenance
Do not modify the Instrument without permission. Modification
could cause unexpected hazards.
Use consumables and replacement parts (including screws)
only specified by Kyowa Medex Co., Ltd.
Before servicing the Instrument or removing any of its parts
(fixing faults, replacing parts, inspecting, repairing, etc.), turn
the power switch off and be sure to disconnect the power plug
from the socket to avoid getting electric shock.
When disconnecting the power plug from the socket, always
grip and pull on the plug itself, not on the cable.
Use fuses of the only specified type. Use of non-specified fuses
could cause the Instrument to malfunction or, in some cases,
start a fire.
Using the power cable plug (plugging it in and unplugging it) to
turn the power on and off may cause the plug to overheat.
Always use the power switch (or the Main Breaker).
This Instrument weighs approximately 56 kg. Handle it with
extra care when moving. Note that moving the Instrument
should be done by two or more people.
The ends of the Mixing Spatula, Sample Pipette and Reagent
Pipette attached to the injection assembly are sharp and could
cause injury.
The ends of the Mixing Spatula, Sample Pipette and Reagent
Pipette attached to the injection assembly come into direct
contact with Samples (stool samples) and Reagents, so
incorrect handling of those parts could cause infection with
pathogens or poisoning with reagents. Wear medical rubber
gloves while working, and take extra care to avoid infection.
