WARNING
3.4 Safety instructions on the operating supply
The unit was designed for operation with an ethylene glycol-water mixture.
Ethylene glycol is a colourless, slightly viscous, slightly volatile and hygroscopic liquid that can be
mixed with water. It has a sweetish smell and taste. Ethylene glycol vapours are heavier than air and
thus they may reach lower spaces. At ground level, the concentration may increase in quiescent air.
In case of high concentrations, there is a risk of suffocation due to the reduced oxygen percentage
in the breathable air.
The operating supplies must be prevented from escaping.
After skin contact, ethylene glycol causes a slight irritation with the risk of skin resorption.
Eye contact causes mucous membrane irritations. After being swallowed, the substance
produces states of agitation with disorders of the central nervous system as well as fatigue,
loss of consciousness, coordination disorders and kidney damage.
Keep ethylene glycol away from ignition sources, do not smoke!
Avoid the contact of ethylene glycol with open flames or hot surfaces. Be careful when
executing soldering and welding works!
During troubleshooting, avoid eye and skin contact as well as contact with clothes.
Use your personal protective equipment. Take off soiled or soaked clothes
immediately!
Further and more detailed information and direction for use and first aid as well as provisions resulting
therefrom are to be found in the corresponding
