1. Critical Safety Overview
Throughout these instructions, this symbol is used to indicate that the instructions are
critically important to your safety and the safety of your system. Failure to follow the
instructions as written can result in a rapid release of high pressure CO
2
, potentially causing
equipment damage or harm to workers.
WARNING
Subcritical and Supercritical CO
2
systems operate under high pressure. Operators must be fully trained and
familiar with the systems. Failure to operate the systems correctly can result in equipment damage and/or bodily
injury.
WARNING
Subcritical and Supercritical CO
2
systems use large amounts of CO
2
during operation. Ensure that the system
is installed in a well-ventilated area to prevent buildup of CO
2
, which can cause asphyxiation. Always use a CO
2
monitor to ensure safe operations.
WARNING
Opening a vessel under pressure can result in a rapid release of pressure and ejection of material from inside
the vessel. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN A VESSEL UNDER PRESSURE! Always make sure a vent path for
the vessel is opened and the corresponding pressure gauge reads zero prior to loosening the vessel closure.
WARNING
Subcritical and Supercritical CO
2
systems are designed to operate indoors, in a temperature-controlled
environment. Extreme temperatures (below 60°F and above 80°F) will negatively impact the functionality of the
system. The environmental temperature range applies to the system, chiller, pump and CO
2
bottles.
WARNING
Only use Propylene Glycol and distilled water in the chiller and cooling system. Never use Deionized Water in
the chiller or cooling system.
WARNING
Extraction system components can weight in excess of 2000lbs and need to be moved carefully. Never attempt
to move system pieces without the proper equipment, failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Always wear safety glasses when operating and servicing the system.
