990 CLD Leak Detector Hazards
This product must only be operated and maintained by trained personnel.
Before operating or servicing equipment, read and thoroughly understand all operation/
maintenance manuals provided by Vacuum Technologies. Be aware of the hazards
associated with this equipment, know how to recognize potentially hazardous conditions,
and how to avoid them. Read carefully and strictly observe all cautions and warnings. The
consequences of unskilled, improper, or careless operation of the equipment can be serious.
In addition, consult local, state, and national agencies regarding specific requirements and
regulations. Address any safety, operation, and/or maintenance questions to your nearest

WARNING
The mechanical components of leak detectors are typically
cleaned with alcohol, methanol, or other solvents.
When heated, sprayed, or exposed to high-temperature
equipment, these solvents become flammable and explosive,
causing serious injury or death. Do not use these solvents near
a high-temperature source. Ventilate the working area with a
blower and use in a large, well-ventilated room.
Alcohol, methanol, or other solvents are irritants, narcotics,
depressants and/or carcinogens. Their inhalation and/or
ingestion may produce serious side effects. Prolonged or
continued contact with the skin will result in absorption
through the skin and moderate toxicity. Always ensure that
cleaning operations are carried out in large, well-ventilated
rooms, and wear eyeshields, gloves, and protective clothing.
CAUTION
Use powder-free butyl or polycarbonate gloves to prevent skin
oils from getting on vacuum surfaces.
NOTE
Do not clean any aluminum parts with Alconox
®
. Alconox is
not compatible with aluminum and will cause damage.
NOTE
During reassembly, always use Loctite
PST
(teflon-impregnated pipe thread compound) on pipe threads.
