Hose grounding
It is very important that the hoses used for both air and fluid dispensing be a grounding type and
that ground continuity is maintained at all times during operation. Regular checks of the hose
ground resistance (with a resistance meter using a suitable range) and a comparison to the
manufacture’s specification will ensure that the ground is within specifications. If it is not within
specified limits it should be replaced immediately.
Solvent cleaning
While cleaning the system with solvent, secure the metal part of the dispensing valve in contact
with a grounded metal pail to minimize the possibility of splashing/spraying of chemicals on the
skin, in the eyes and around static sparks. Use low fluid pressure for additional safety.
Hazards from moving parts
Use the pressure Relief Procedure to prevent the pump from starting un-intentionally or
unexpectedly. Be aware of moving parts that present a pinching hazard to fingers or other body
parts. Stay clear of these moving parts at all times when starting or operating the pump.
Safety standards
Safety standards have been established by the United States Government under the
Occupational Safety and Health Act. These standards should be consulted as they apply to the
hazards and type of equipment being used.
