Nitrogen gas for venting when installed in a system. Ensure all gases used are vented
as specified by the facilities local environmental regulations.
WARNING
Whenever any gases are vented, the facilities’ environmental proce-
dures must be followed regarding the storage, handling, and disposal
of gases.

Whenever any gas is used during service of the MagnaTran 7 robot, the facilities’ stan-
dard precautions for use of that gas must be employed.
DANGER
Harmful gases may reside in the system the MagnaTran 7 robot is
installed in. Under certain circumstances, some gases can leave a
flammable or poisonous residue, refer to the Facilities’ Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for these gases and follow the facilities’
