Fill tank and pressurize
NOTICE: DO NOT open the cover until the pressure gauge reads “0.”
1. Open the tank by pulling up on the wire handle located on top of the Quick-lock cover. Push down, rotate and remove. Make sure that
the interior of the container is clean. Fill the container with 12 gallons of tepid potable water.
2. Replace the cover and secure by pulling up on the cover and down on the wire handle.
3. After filling the tank with tepid water and before pressurizing the unit, open the activation valve to the full open position and remove the
dust covers from the eyewash heads.
4. Located beneath the pressure gauge is an air valve. Remove protective cover and begin to pressurize the unit by applying pressured
air through the valve. As soon as water begins discharging from the eyewash, close the activation lever completely. Finish pressurizing
the tank to 90 psi and replace the air valves protective cover.
If this is the initial startup of this unit or if the unit has been unfilled and/or un-pressurized for a prolonged
period of time the unit should be flushed out per the procedure below.
Prior to placing unit in service let unit stand for one hour. If there is a noticeable pressure drop, re-pressurize
and let stand for an additional hour. If unit continues to exhibit pressure loss DO NOT place unit in service and
consult the Troubleshooting guide found on page 6 of this manual.
CAUTION: Relief valve is designed to vent automatically at 100-130 psi to prevent the tank from over pressurizing.
If the gauge ever reads more then 130 psi immediately open the pressure relief valve manually by pulling
up on the relief valve tab until the pressure reads zero. Remove the unit from service and consult the
troubleshooting guide found on page 6 in this manual for steps to correct the problem. Return the unit to
service only when over-pressurization issue is corrected.
Flush tank
1. Be sure the unit is assembled, filled and pressurized according to Steps 1 & 3 above, (If this is the initial start up of the unit the body
wash spray head will not be attached to the drench hose activation valve at this time.)
2. Discharge the water through the eyewash for at least five minutes to flush the system.
3. Flush all remaining fluid in the tank.
4. Refill the tank and pressurize as described in Step 3 above.
5. Inspect the electrical components for any visible damage or fraying. Plug the heater jacket’s electrical cord into an appropriate
electrical outlet in accordance with state and local codes.

Filling the Tank
Maintenance
WARNING: Follow instructions of the preservative manufacturer for the proper use of water preservative.
Inspect eyewash unit
1. Visually inspect the pressure gauge weekly to ensure the unit is maintaining the proper pressure. If the unit is not working properly,
remove it from the hazard area immediately and refer to the troubleshooting instructions. For further assistance, contact the Bradley
Corporation.
Clean eyewash unit
When using potable water only:
1. Empty the tank any time from once per week to once per month, depending on the quality of your water supply. The manufacturer
is not responsible for variations in the water supply.
2. Clean the inside of the tank using warm water and mild soap. Rinse the tank thoroughly with warm water.
3. Refill the eyewash tank with tepid potable water.
When using potable water and water preservative (recommended):
1. Clean the inside of the tank using warm water and mild soap. Rinse the tank thoroughly with warm water.
2. Refill the eyewash tank with tepid potable water. Follow instructions of the preservative manufacturer for the proper use of water
preservative.
Troubleshooting
1. If pressure relief valve relieves prior to the required pressure, do the following (when in the unpressurized condition):
• Tighten the valve completely into the cap by turning the gray hex head portion of the pressure relief valve clockwise. Do not use
a wrench.
• Pull up on the relief valve ring and ensure that the ring is not preventing the valve from closing completely. Push on the center
pin of the relief valve to ensure that it is completely closed. Repressurize tank to required pressure. This may have to be done
several times to get the valve to seat completely.
2. If the pressurized tank loses pressure over time, check the connections with diluted liquid dish soap or children’s bubbles to identify
the leak location. Tighten the connection slightly and test again.
