Warnings & Cautions
Warning
Never operate equipment near combustible gases/fumes.
Do not install or operate RE series unit near flammable or explosive gases/fumes. Unit is NOT fire or
blast resistant. Negligent use could cause a fire/explosion.
See
“List of Hazardous Substances (P.25).
Always ground equipment.
Always ground this unit properly to avoid electric shock.
In the event of motor overload, terminate operation immediately.
Motor may shut off if it overheats and temperature exceeds 90°C. When this happens, turn down
speed dial and power off immediately. The source of overheating must be eliminated before
attempting to restart.
*Lack of bearing lubrication, etc. may cause them to seize, tripping a safety device which
shuts off the motor when excessively overloaded and heated to beyond 90°C.
Exercise caution when installing/removing flask clamps.
Flask holding clamps use spring action to hold them in place. Careless installation or removal of
these can break glass when snapping into place. Install and remove with care.
Use a cold trap for decompression (vacuum).
When using a hydraulic rotary vacuum pump or Yamato Scientific
’s Handy Aspirator to decompress
the evaporation system, additional use of a cold trap (Yamato model CA301 or CA800) is strongly
recommended to protect vacuum pump from harmful substances and extend pump life.
Keep the vacuum seal in good repair.
Vacuum seal is a wear item and should be replaced at regular intervals to avoid vacuum leaks.
Greasing seal is not necessary, but recommend to extend seal life. Use silicon vacuum grease
and apply to rippled side of seal.
