Important Information Before You Begin

  • Observe the precautionary information on the containers.

  • Use ventilation with enough air circulation or exhaust to keep the mixing area free from strong odors (change 10 room-volumes of air per hour).

  • Wear rubber gloves, eye protection (visor goggles or face shield), and a chemically impervious apron when mixing chemicals.

  • To avoid release of irritating vapor(s), always follow mixing instructions.

  • Always measure and record the quantity of developer replenisher solution in the replenisher tank before mixing.

  • Be sure the tank has enough room to accept the additional amount of liquid volume to be mixed.

  • The concentrates must not be mixed without the recommended dilution.

  • The 5-gallon (19 litre) size consists of three (3) small containers of dry chemicals:

    • Part A
