Danger of Pressure
Safety requires that a decompressed air shutoff valve be mounted on
the back pressure regulator supply circuit to allow trapped air to
escape when the supply is shut off.
Without this precaution, the residual air from the engine may cause
the back pressure regulator to operate and cause a serious accident.
Similarly, a
product purge valve
must be installed on the product
circuit so that it can be purged (after shutting off engine air and
decompressing it) before any intervention on the equipment. These
valves should remain closed for air and open for the product during
the procedure.
Injection hazards
"HIGH PRESSURE" technology requires the utmost care.
Operation can cause dangerous leaks. There is a risk of product
injection into exposed parts of the body, which can lead to serious
injury and the risk of amputation:
An injection of product into the skin or other parts of the
body (eyes, fingers ...) must be treated urgently by
appropriate medical care.
Do not look at the gun nozzle when it is under pressure.
Never direct the jet to another person.
Never attempt to stop the jet with the body (hands, fingers
...) or with rags or similar.
Fire hazards, explosion,
electric arc, static
electricity
Improper grounding, insufficient ventilation, open flames or sparks can
cause an explosion or fire which could result in serious injury.
To avoid these risks, especially when using back pressure regulator, it is
imperative:
To connect the equipment, the parts to be treated, the
cans of products and cleaners to the ground,
To ensure good ventilation,
Keep the work area clean and free of rags, papers, solvents,
