used, tell the patient before starting or stopping the 
turbine and before changing the water or aeration 
level.

matched, properly grounded and polarized. Verify that the

Keep  patient  hair,  gown  strings  and  other  loose  items 
away  from  the  impeller  housing  to  avoid  entanglement 
and injury.

Keep    the  area  around  the  turbine  clear.  The  turbine 
requires a minimum of 24" (610mm) of clearance.
