TBS Solvent Recovery Systems have been designed and manufactured to be ignition resistant if operated in 
a highly volatile environment (explosion proof). All units are shipped with a normal 15 amp Hospital 
Grade, ETL™ & UL approved electrical plug. Be advised that if you intend to operated your unit in a 
dangerously volatile environment an explosion proof plug must be installed with its special receptacle. 
Solvent Containment - TBS offers a stainless steel splash pan, designed for your equipment, to be placed 
on the floor under your recovery unit. This pan is recommended for use as a safety pan to prevent solvents 
from spilling onto the floors in case of an over flow due to operator error. 
Appropriate 3-gal containers for the collection of recycled solvents and run off waste are available from 
TBS. 
Safe Exposure Temperature - The temperature should be at 50°C or below, according to the top bulb 
thermometer, before the distilling chamber cover is opened. Opening the cover at a higher temperature will 
release solvent fumes into the surrounding air and can also cause burn injury to the operator. 
NOTE: Opening the cover sooner than one hour after the distillation cycle has finished wil cause the cover 
 gasket to swell.
