or skin. If spilled or splashed, flush with water for 15 minutes. If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Administer
an alkali with plenty of water. Seek medical attention immediately.
CAUTION – POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
Always leave plenty of space between load and doors. Leaning load against doors will damage doors and also
prevent them from opening or closing.
Always use a silicone lubricant to lubricate squeeze tubes. Petroleum-based lubricants, such as Vaseline or
grease, will cause squeeze tubes to melt.
Avoid product damage. Always select a cycle appropriate for the items being processed.
Before operating the unit, always position manifolded Bottle Washing Cart and/or Central Header Manifold over
central water inlet connector. If manifolded accessory is not positioned correctly, damage may result and unit will

Safety Precautions and Symbols Operator Manual 920017-148
CAUTION – POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE (Cont'd):
Do not process load using Central Header Manifold or Bottle Washing Cart in a chamber where Automatic Floor
Tilting option is activated. If Automatic Floor Tilting is used, manifolded water inlet and washer will be damaged.
Keep away from doors to prevent load detection sensor from stopping doors from closing.
Remove all cellulose-type bedding from cages and pans before processing. Cellulose bedding can clog filters
and piping.
Use non-abrasive cleaners when cleaning unit. Follow directions on containers and rub in a back-and-forth motion,
in same direction as surface grain. Abrasive cleaners will damage stainless steel. Cleaners rubbed in a circular
motion or applied with a wire brush or steel wool on door and chamber assemblies can be harmful to stainless steel.
Do not use these cleaners on painted surfaces.
When choosing a chemical, select one with a low chloride content. Chloride is harmful to stainless steel and will
deteriorate washer.
