LOADING DRY ICE
1. Before you begin loading dry ice, it is important that you have the protective gear
previously mentioned in the “Safety Precautions and Warnings” section (page 6).
This includes basic items such as earplugs or muffs (or both), eye protection, face
shield, heavy-duty gloves, long sleeves, long pants, and safety shoes. (pic 1)
2. Lift hinged metal lid to expose hopper. BE AWARE OF AND KEEP CLEAR OF
PINCH POINTS (pic 2)
3. Use a sturdy scoop or similar device to load dry ice pellets into the hopper. (pic 3)
Be careful not to inhale concentrated CO
2
gas during the loading process, as it will
temporarily rob you of oxygen. If overexposed, get fresh air immediately. Signs
of overexposure include dizziness, cold sweats, headaches, nausea, and heavy
breathing.
4. Close the lid on the hopper. This will prevent airborne contaminants from
inadvertently falling through the pellet screen to the ice and ultimately ending up
on the surface you are cleaning or damaging internal airlock parts. (pic 4)
