The following hazards may occur during the normal use of this equipment. Please
read the following chart before using the equipment.
HAZARD CAUSE SAFEGUARDS
Fire Solvents and coangs can be highly ammable
or combusble, especially when sprayed.
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air free
of accumulaons of ammable vapours.
Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
Fire exnguishing equipment must be present in the spray
area.
Fire-
Pressure tank
Vapours from ammable liquids can catch re or
explode.
Keep tank at least 10 feet away from sources of ignion.
Ignion sources include hot objects, mechanical sparks,
and arcing (non -explosion proof) electrical equipment.
Explosion Hazard –
Pressure Tank –
Stac Electricity
Stac electricity is created by the ow of uid
through the pressure tank and hose. If all parts
are not properly grounded, sparking may occur.
Sparks can ignite vapours from solvents and the
uid being sprayed.
Ground the pressure tank by connecng one end of 12
gauge (minimum) ground wire to the pressure tank and
the other end to a true earth ground. Local codes may
have addional grounding requirements.
See illustraon g 3 on page 7 for grounding and
grounding hardware required.
Explosion Hazard –
Pressure Tank –
Rupture
Making changes to a pressure tank will weaken
it.
Never drill into, weld, or modify the tank in any way.
Do not adjust, remove, or tamper with the safety valve. If
replacement is necessary, use the same type and rang of
valve.
Explosion Hazard –
Galvanized Tanks –
Material Compability
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents – for
example 1-1-1 Trichloroethane and methylene
chloride – can chemically react with aluminium
parts and components and cause an explosion
hazard. These solvents will also corrode the
galvanized tank coang.
Read the label or data sheet for the material. Do not use
materials containing these solvents with galvanized
pressure tanks. Stainless steel tank models may be used
with halogenated solvents.
Refer to specicaons chart to ensure that uids are
chemically compable with the tank weed parts. Before
placing uids or solvents in tank, always read
accompanying manufacturer’s literature.
General Safety Improper operaon or maintenance may create
a hazard.
Operators should be given adequate training in the safe
use and maintenance of this equipment. Refer to Pressure
Systems Safety Regulaons 2000 Approved Code of
Pracce (UK) or relevant naonal regulaons in the
country of use.
WARNING
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
To reduce the risk of injury, follow the pressure relief procedure below
 Before checking or servicing any part of the spray system
 Before aempng removal of ll port cap or tank cover
 Whenever the tank is le unaended
1. Turn o the main air supply to the tank.
2. Close the air inlet valve located on the tank air manifold.
3. Bleed o air in the tank by turning the air relief valve (5) thumb screw counter clockwise. Wait unl all the air has
escaped through the valve before removing the pressure tank cover or ll port cap.
4. Leave the air relief valve open unl you have reinstalled the tank cover or ll port cap.
High pressure can cause
serious injury.
Pressure is maintained in
a pressure tank aer the
system has been shut
down.
Always follow this
procedure to relieve
pressure from the tank.
