Please read carefully!
The laboratory device Water jet pump can be used in combination with
hazardous materials, work processes and equipment. However, the
operating manual cannot cover all of the safety issues that may occur in
doing so. It is the user's responsibility to ensure compliance with the
safety and health regulations and to specify the corresponding
restrictions before use.
1. Every user must read and understand this operating manual prior to
using the device and observe these instructions during use.
2. Follow the general hazard instructions and safety regulations, e.g.
wear protective clothing, eye protection and protective gloves.
Observe special instructions for handling evacuated vessels, and if
necessary use a protective shield.
3. Only use evacuated vessels which are definitely made for work under
vacuum (e.g. desiccators and filter flasks).
4. Before evacuating, check all screw connections for absolute
tightness.
5. In case of water pressure failure, dirty water must not be sucked
back into the water mains. Therefore: Make sure that the water can
always drain away freely. (Observe the DVGW* guidelines).
6. Always perform work in a manner that does not endanger users or
other people.
7. Never use force! The fittings should be screwed by hand only
(without using tools).
8. Use only original accessories and original replacement parts. Do not
make any technical modifications. Do not dismantle the device any
further than is described in the operating manual!
