Product Service 1-800-522-7658 4
Original instructions
Do not position the CentriVap so that it is difficult to remove
the power cord from the unit or to operate the power switch.
Do not use any detachable power cord that is not adequately
rated for the unit.
Location and Exhaust Requirements
The CentriVap Complete should be located on a surface that is stable, flat and
level.
WARNING: The CentriVap should be located within a fume hood if
hazardous or flammable solvents are used. Heating of materials could lead
to the liberation of hazardous gases. In all cases, regardless of the solvent
used, it is strongly recommended that the vacuum pump is vented in a fume
hood. An accessory secondary trap is available to minimize the exhausting of
solvents into the atmosphere. This does not, however, negate the need to
exhaust the vacuum pump into a fume hood. Failure to properly vent the
CentriVap will expose personnel to potentially harmful chemicals.
The CentriVap has not been evaluated by an approval agency for the use of
biological, radio toxins or flammable liquids or materials.
Space Requirements
Refer to Appendix C: CentriVap Specifications for dimensional drawings of the
CentriVap.
No person or any hazardous material should be within 12 inches of the CentriVap
while it is operating.
