Electrical Safety Precautions

WARNING—Electric Shock or Damage to the Device

High voltages are present inside the device that could cause an electric
shock or damage to the device.

•

Do not make any changes to the electrical or grounding connections.

•

If you suspect any kind of electrical damage, disconnect the power
cord and contact Thermo Fisher Scientific Technical Support for
assistance.

•

Do not open the housing or remove protective panels unless
specifically instructed to do so in this manual.

•

Do not place liquid reservoirs directly upon the device. Liquid might
leak into the device and get into contact with electronic components
causing a short circuit. Instead, place liquid reservoirs in the solvent
rack that is available for the Vanquish system.

2.3.5

General Residual Hazards

Pay attention to the following general residual hazards when working
with the device:
