Safety

DANGER

Hazard: Flammable or explosive gases entering, or present near, the system, which is not explosion-proof

Consequence: Fire or explosion

Avoidance: Do not use flammable or explosive gases near the system. After cleaning or disinfection, ventilate the room sufficiently before turning the power supply back ON.

WARNING

Hazard: Starting maintenance and inspection work while the breaker and system power switches on the distribution board are still ON

Consequence: Source states only "(To ensure safety.)" without detailing the specific harm for this item — treat as a live-power hazard while working on the system during maintenance/inspection

Avoidance: Before starting maintenance and inspection work, turn OFF the breaker and all the system power switches on the distribution board.

WARNING

Hazard: Pouring or spraying liquids such as water or detergent onto the system

Consequence: Malfunction or an electrical short, possibly resulting in personal injury or electrical shock

Avoidance: Do not pour or spray liquids onto the system. Apply cleaning or disinfecting agents to a cloth that has been moistened and thoroughly wrung out, never directly to the system (see Steps).

NOTICE

Hazard: Cleaning or disinfecting the system with unspecified disinfectants/lubricants, in an unspecified manner or frequency, or with organic solvents (such as paint thinner) or abrasive cleansers — source labels this callout CAUTION, but the stated consequence is finish/equipment damage only (no personal injury stated), so FSELIB classifies it NOTICE per Z535 usage

Consequence: Discoloration or cracking of the surface finish, or damage to rubber or plastic parts (equipment/cosmetic only — no injury stated in source)

Avoidance: Use only the specified disinfectants and lubricants, in the specified manner and frequency. Do not clean the system with organic solvents (such as paint thinner) or abrasive cleansers.
