appreciable material, financial and environmental damage.

Important paragraphs which must be adhered to in practice as they enable the product to be used in a technically correct and

efficient manner.

The following directions should enable the person responsible for the product, and the person who actually uses the equipment, to anticipate and

avoid operational hazards.

PermitteD use: The products are intended to be used for the detection and localization of underground metallic services: cables and metallic pipes. Utili-Gen is for

indoor use only.

rePair: The products contain no user serviceable parts and do not require regular maintenance. Only Utili-Finder authorised service workshops are entitled to repair

these products.

Do not

• Use products with obviously recognizable damage or defects

HazarDs of use

High mechanical stress, high ambient temperatures or immersion into fluids can cause leakage, fire or explosions of the batteries.

WARNING

Precautions: Protect the batteries from mechanical influences and high ambient temperatures. Do not drop or immerse batteries into fluids.

During the transport, shipping or disposal of batteries it is possible for inappropriate mechanical influences to constitute a fire hazard.

C CAUTION

Precautions: Before shipping the product or disposing of it, discharge the batteries by running the product until they are flat.

The depth reading might not reflect the real depth when the Utili-Finder picks up the signal induced into the service by the Utili-Gen. This signal is

radiated from the centre of the service, readings with larger diameter pipes will read shallow.

WARNING

Precautions: Always compensate depth reading for service size.

The absence of a positive indication does not guarantee the non-existence of a service.

Services without a detectable signal may be present.

CAUTION

The Utilifinder cannot locate non-metallic services such as plastic pipes, typically used by the water and gas utilities.

Precautions: Always excavate with care.

When transporting or shipping batteries, the person in charge of the product must ensure that the applicable national and international rules and regulations are

observed. Before transportation or shipping contact your local passenger or freight transport company.

WARNING

• If polymer parts are burnt, poisonous gases are produced which may impair health

• If batteries are damaged or are heated strongly, they can explode and cause poisoning, burning, corrosion or environmental contamination

• By disposing of the product irresponsibly you may enable unauthorised persons to use it in contravention of the regulations, exposing themselves and third parties
