Safety Precautions

Wash Down Models

(Model # 34000-10 thru -14, 34040-10

thru -14 & 34050-10 thru -14 only):


DO NOT directly connect the drain line to a sewer, drain system or place in a
vertical standpipe. This type of installation will not allow the drain to
function properly.

DO NOT use the wash down gun to clean up biohazardous material;
Disinfect any surface or material BEFORE using the gun.

ALWAYS wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye
and face protection when washing down the cabinet.

Ensure that the drain line is not kinked or obstructed, and flows to a floor
drain with an air gap.

The Drain Pump should only be operated to remove standing liquid in the
bottom of the cabinet.

Do not operate the pump dry for more than 5 minutes.

UV Lamp Models

(Model # 34000-00 thru -04, 34040-00 thru -

04 & 34050-00 thru -04 only):


NEVER expose ANY EVIDENCE, plastic or coated materials to ultraviolet
(UV) radiation. Never bypass the UV safety interlock that only allows the
UV light to work when the door is closed. UV exposure to the skin is
hazardous and can result in serious eye or skin injury.

NEVER expose UV Lamp or UV Lamp connections to liquids.

For all models:

Ensure that the cabinet is connected to electrical service in accordance with
local and national electrical codes. Failure to do so may create a fire or
electrical hazard. Do not remove or service any electrical components
without first disconnecting the cabinet from electrical service.

NEVER use this cabinet as a chemical storage cabinet.
When handling evidence, or working in the cabinet, always wear appropriate
personnel protective equipment.
NEVER attempt to dry evidence containing flammable gases or solvents in
the cabinet. An open flame should NOT be used in the cabinet.
