FOREWORD

PRECAUTIONARY DEFINITIONS

The precautionary instructions found in this section and throughout this manual are indicated by specific 
symbols. Understand these symbols and their definitions before operating this equipment. The definitions of 
these symbols are as follows:

CAUTIONS 

- Text with a “CAUTION” indicator explains possible safety infractions that could have the 

potential to cause minor to moderate injury or damage to equipment.

WARNINGS -

 Text with a “WARNING” indicator explains possible safety infractions that will 

potentially cause serious injury and equipment damage.

DANGERS 

- Text with a “DANGER” indicator explains possible safety infractions that are imminently 

hazardous situations that would result in death or serious injury.

NOTE:

 Throughout this manual, “

NOTE

” may be found. These notes are helpful information to aid in the  

             particular area or function being described.

  Read, understand and practice the precautionary and operating instructions. Know the limitations associated 

with the Hydrocollator SS-2, M-2, M-4 Heating Units. Observe the cautionary and operational decals installed 
on the unit.

 The thermostat is extremely sensitive and the slightest adjustment will alter the temperature several 

degrees. The recommended operating temperature is 160° F to 166° F (71° to 74°C). The temperature of the 
water should be checked with a thermometer after every adjustment, before using the HotPacs. Always 
allow sufficient time for the water temperature to stabilize.

  Always keep the water level over the top of the HotPacs to avoid burning or scorching of the packs.

  Never allow the HotPacs to dry after use.

  Check water level daily as it has a natural loss due to evaporation.
