• Facility variables (facility variables include the structure, atmosphere, and utilities)
• Unauthorized customer modifications to the equipment
• Operator experience and specialization
• Test specimens
Because of these variables (and the possibility of others), your system can operate under unforeseen
circumstances that can result in an operating environment with unknown hazards.
Improper installation, operation, or maintenance of your system can result in hazardous conditions that
can cause death, personal injury, or damage to the equipment or to the specimen. Common sense and a
thorough knowledge of the system’s operating capabilities can help to determine an appropriate and safe
approach to its operation.
Hazard Placard Placement
Hazard placards contain specific safety information and are affixed directly to the system so they are plainly
visible.
Each placard describes a system-related hazard. When possible, international symbols (icons) are used
to graphically indicate the type of hazard and the placard label indicates its severity. In some instances,
the placard may contain text that describes the hazard, the potential result if the hazard is ignored, and
general instructions about how to avoid the hazard.
The following labels are typically located on the HSM.

Warning
Sudden actuator movement can cause severe
personal injury or damage to equipment.
Drain line hose must be connected before applying
pressure to this service manifold.
