3.1.1 USE IN AREAS SUBJECT TO EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Safe Handling of WAGNER Spray Devices
Mechanical sparks can form if the device comes into contact with metal.
In an explosive atmosphere:
Do not knock or push the device or components and tools against steel or rusty iron.
Do not drop the device or components and tools.
Ignition temperature of the pumped product
Check that the ignition temperature of the pumped product is higher than the max.
permissible surface temperature.
Medium supporting atomizing
To atomize the product, use only weakly oxidizing gases, e.g., air.
Operation without uid
Avoid running the pump so that it sucks in air (without uid inside). The air, combined
with the vapor of ammable uids, can generate internal areas with an explosion hazard.
Periodically check that the pumps are working smoothly, paying special attention to
the presence of air in the pumped uid, which may be caused by damaged packings.
Avoid operating the pump with damaged packing.
Ensure that the separating agent tank is lled with sucient separating agent.
Surface spraying, electrostatics
Do not spray device parts using electrostatic equipment.
Cleaning
If there are deposits on the surfaces, the device may form electrostatic charges. Flames or
sparks can form during discharge.
Remove deposits from the surfaces to maintain conductivity.
Use only a damp cloth to clean the device.
National regulations
Ensure that the national explosion prevention rules and regulations are observed
when setting up the device.
