This checklist details important electrical and safety considerations. Please read and observe all the following.
Although your processor is designed to work in a wet environment, it is not designed to be totally immersed in water. Any electrical equipment placed close to water may be dangerous, if improperly used. At a minimum, observe these instructions. Contact JOBO to clarify any safety concerns not addressed in this manual, or any you do not fully understand. (See Section 1, Introduction, on how to Contact JOBO.)
- Keep these instructions available for reference.
- Do not use the processor until you read and understand all the warnings contained in this manual.
- Observe all warnings in this manual.
- If any precautionary information is not clearly understood, contact JOBO for assistance before proceeding.
- Do
not use the processor if:
- A grounded power outlet is not used (a ground fault interrupt is strongly recommended)
- The power cord is frayed or damaged
- The ground connection of the power cord is damaged
- Fuses of the wrong rating are substituted for correct ratings (see Appendix)
- If the processor has been dropped or damaged (have it checked by a qualified service technician).
- The top cover or hardware is removed.
- Water or chemicals has gotten inside the motor head.
- There is not at least five inches (15 cm) of water in the lower trough.
- Use an extension power cord only if required. Be sure the cord is undamaged, grounded and rated at least 500 Watts at 120 Volts.
- Route all power cords to avoid contact with water. Position cords to prevent stretching or pinching. Avoid placing cords where they could be tripped on, stepped on, or accidentally unplugged.
- Avoid splashing or spilling of water or chemicals on the motor head of the processor or power cord connections.
- Do not leave the processor running unattended for overnight or longer.
- Unplug the processor if it is not being used.
- Do not attempt to modify or remove any part or function of the processor.
