Filling of the reactor with electrolyte
For the production of gas a certain amount of electrolyte
solution is required. When delivered, the unit is not filled with
electrolyte for reasons of safety.
The electrolyte is included in the delivery volume
Electrolyte is a strong caustic solution!
Risk of severe chemical burns on skin, mucous membranes
and eyes!
Risk of chemical burns of the mucous membrane caused by
inhaling of vapours!
Always wear protective gloves and goggles when handling
electrolytes to prevent chemical burns! Do not inhale the
vapours!
Store open containers with electrolyte at a safe place and keep
them out of reach of unauthorized persons, in particular of
children.
Please note! In order to avoid damages on the unit, use suitable
electrolyte and demineralized water only!
If in doubt contact the manufacturer or your supplier for
information.

1. Unscrew the closing cap from the filling duct (
see illustration
5.2.D
.) at the electrolyte reactor.
2. Place the clean funnel (included in the delivery volume) onto
the filling duct.
3. Carefully pour approx. 4/5 of the electrolyte (total quantity
see table in this section) into the filling duct of the reactor.
4. Carefully insert the glass float into the filling duct of the
reactor, with the thin end up. The tip of the float must be
flush with the edge of the duct.
5. If necessary refill liquid. The glass floating body must not
stand out from the edge of the duct by more than 5 mm.
Caution!
In case of an overfilling there is a risk of damage
to the unit. If the reactor has been overfilled the excess
electrolyte must be removed from the reactor (for this
carefully read and observe the relevant safety and
procedure instructions in
section 8.7
