SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
DANGERS:
NEVER apply AC voltages directly to the EXTERNAL POWER
INPUT receptacle on the front panel. The application of AC voltages can
result in injury and death of the operator and destruction of the unit. Use
only the AC/DC Power Supply/Converter supplied with the unit to power
unit from an AC source.
NEVER short or connect the terminals of the battery terminals together.
Shorting of the battery terminals causes rapid internal heating of the
battery resulting in the explosion of the battery and severe injury to or the
death of the operator.
The AC/DC Power Supply/Converter is rated for INDOOR USE ONLY. DO
NOT use the AC/DC Power Supply/Converter in an outdoor environment
to either charge the battery or power the drive. Electrical shock, severe
injury and/or death is possible if this warning is ignored.
DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE THE BATTERY. THE BATTERY MAY
EXPLODE CAUSING SEVERE INJURYORDEATH OF THE PERSONNEL IN THE
AREA. (Dispose of the old battery by recycling.)
CAUTIONS:
Do not reverse the connections to the battery. If the battery
connections are reversed, damage to the unit will occur.
Fully charge the unit before using for the first time. Damage to the internal
battery can result if the battery is in a fully discharged state and operation
of the unit is attempted.
Immersion or submersion of the unit will result in improper operation and
possible damage to the unit.
Use of pump heads, tubing sizes and formulations other than those
specified in this manual, or the mounting and use of two or more pump
heads concurrently will result in improper operation and possible damage
to the unit.
WARNINGS:
Tubing breakage may result in fluid being sprayed from the
pump. Use appropriate measures to protect the operator and equipment.
Turn drive off, remove all the power to the unit, including the AC/DC Power
Supply/Converter, Automotive Power Adapter or other external power
source if present before removing or installing pump head or tubing. Place
the Mode of Operation Switch (RUN/CHARGE) in the “CHARGE” position
and all other switches in the off position. This will help prevent accidental
activation of the drive mechanism so fingers or loose clothing will not get
caught in the pump drive mechanism.
