HAZARD CAUSE SAFEGUARDS

Fire

Solvents and coatings can be

highly flammable or combustible,

especially when sprayed.

1. Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air

free of accumulations of flammable vapors.

2. Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.

3. Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the

Pressure Tank –

Static Electricity

Static electricity is created by the

flow of fluid through the pressure

tank and hose. If all parts are not

properly grounded, sparking may

occur. Sparks can ignite vapors

from solvents and the fluid being

sprayed.

1. Ground the pressure tank by connecting 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 additional grounding requirements.

2. See illustration on page 6 for grounding and

2. Do not adjust, remove, or tamper with the safety

valve. If replacement is necessary, use the same type

and rating of valve.

Material Compatibility

Halogenated hydrocarbon

solvents – for example 1-1-1

Trichloroethane and methylene

chloride – can chemically react

1. 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.

chemically compatible with the tank wetted parts.

Before placing fluids or solvents in tank, always read

accompanying manufacturer’s literature.

General Safety

Improper operation or

maintenance may create a hazard.

Operators should be given adequate training in the safe

use and maintenance of the equipment (in accordance

with the requirements of NFPA-33, Chapter 15 in U.S.)

Users must comply with all local and national codes

governing ventilation, fire precautions, operation,

maintenance, and housekeeping (in the U.S., these are

1. Turn off the main air supply to the tank.

2. Close the air inlet valve located on the tank air manifold.

3. Bleed off air in the tank by turning the air relief valve (5) thumb screw counterclockwise. Wait until all

the air has escaped through the valve before removing the pressure tank cover or fill port cap.
