Enclosed are pictogram labels that indicate "slip hazard" and "refer to instructions for use." The customer is instructed to apply these two labels to the carboys above the spigot as a reminder to laboratory personnel to keep the spigot in the full "off" position when not in use and to refer to the instructions for use for maintenance. In addition, the letter advises that there is an electrical shock warning for the power strip that is part of their system to indicate that it should be mounted off of the floor. This power strip is intended to connect the computer components of the staining system and should not be placed on the floor where fluid might contact it. Also included is a warning label for shock hazard to apply to their power strip.
