SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SECTION I - INTRODUCTION
To ensure that the safety potential of this equipment is achieved, make sure equipment is installed according to written
instructions.
WARNING
Do not modify this equipment without permission from Ramvac. Unauthorized modification will void the warranty
and could result in serious injury. If this equipment is modified, appropriate inspection and testing must be
conducted to ensure continued safe use of equipment.
Exhaust from dental vacuum systems can be hazardous. Make sure the exhaust pipe is terminated outside of your
building according to Ramvac's written instructions.
Nitrous oxide and oxygen can be safetly scavenged in the small concentrations typically encountered in dental
analgesia. The additional air drawn into a properly installed and operated vacuum unit will dilute these agents.
Never use the vacuum to remove pure nitrous oxide, oxygen or other oxidizing agents directly from the storage
vessle or supply hoses. Large concentrations may cause a fire in the vacuum unit and may cause an exhaust
hazard.
Never use this equipment in an OXYGEN RICH ENVIRONMENT. Large concentrations may cause a fire in the
vacuum unit and may cause an exhaust hazard.
CAUTION
Never use the vacuum for housekeeping functions.
Never use the vacuum to collect lab dust.
