overfilling does not occur.
WARNING All hoses may contain alcohol under pressure. Wear proper personal protective
equipment such as safety goggles and gloves when handling any part of the machine and
working around alcohol.
WARNING Component wear varies depending on the amount of usage. Inspect all nuts, bolts,
and gaskets before each use. If there is any question about the integrity of a component, replace
it immediately.
CAUTION The facility must provide adequate ventilation/exhaust, as determined by the Engineer
of Record, to maintain the local atmosphere below 25% of the Lower Flammability Limit (LFL).
CAUTION Alcohol vapor is heavier than air and can settle in low places.
CAUTION DO NOT use or store equipment or containers where they could be exposed to high
temperatures. Relief valves can open allowing alcohol to escape. DO NOT artificially heat
equipment or containers above 125°F.
CAUTION This system is NOT equipped with an overfill prevention device. Ensure proper fill
levels prior to operation.
CAUTION All system containers must be checked for accidental pressurization. Depressurize
prior to opening.
CAUTION DO NOT allow children or non-trained operators to tamper with or play near the
equipment.
