I. Safety Information Flo-Dynamics®TS650M™
Risk of fire or explosion. Gases produced by a battery are highly explosive.
• Wear safety goggles and protective clothing, user and bystander.
• This machine is equipped to operate on 12-volt DC power only. A power source greater
than this can result in serious injury to the user as well as damage to the machine.
• Do not smoke, place metal tools on battery or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery.
• Clean battery terminals before hooking the machine’s battery clips to them. During
cleaning, keep airborne corrosion from eyes, nose and mouth.
• Be sure both battery cables are tightly connected to the battery terminals as instructed
before proceeding with a fluid exchange.
• Never remove battery cables from the battery terminals while the machine is operating.
Only use the “EMERGENCY STOP” button located on the control panel to stop an
exchange.
Battery explosion can cause injury.
Risk of burns.
• Wear gloves when working near hot engine components.
• Do not touch hot exhaust systems, manifolds, engines, radiators, etc.
• The automatic transmission fluid coming from the vehicle along with some of the
machine’s components that the fluid comes into direct contact with (i.e. external: hoses
and quick-disconnect fittings; internal: hoses and all fittings) may reach temperatures
uncomfortable to the touch. Exercise caution in avoiding contact with these items.
Hot components can cause injury or discomfort.
Emergency Switching Off (ESO).
• The Battery Clips serve as an Emergency Switching Off (ESO) device for this equipment.
In the event of an emergency, if it is necessary to remove power from the Fluid Exchanger,
remove the battery clips from the car battery.
Ratchet mechanisms and tools may slip or break if dirty. Mismatched or partially worn parts can
cause ratchet or any tool to slip or break.
• Frequently inspect and clean any tools used, and lubricate all non-sealed ratchet
mechanisms with light oil.
• Do not replace worn parts individually. If adapter hose fittings become worn, see
“Appendix C – Replacement Parts” to order new hoses.
• The use of any other accessories not specified in this manual may create a hazard.
Tools that slip or break can cause injury.
