1.40.

ALWAYS USE CORRECT PRESSURE RATED ACCESSORIES.

Do Not use air reservoirs or moisture separator tanks that are not rated for use in compressed air
applications. Air reservoirs and moisture separator tanks larger than 6 inches inside diameter must
have an ASME code stamp.

An air reservoir or moisture separator tank is a Pressurized Vessel. The compressed air inside a
pressurized vessel contains a dangerously high level of energy which can explode propelling
objects and result in serious injury or death to operating personnel. Air reservoir and moisture
separator tanks must be ASME coded tanks.

1.41. NEVER AIM BLAST NOZZLE TOWARDS ANY PERSON.

Do Not aim the blast nozzle towards yourself or any person. A system malfunction or a blocked
blast nozzle that clears can trigger accidental start up resulting in injury to personnel.

1.42. NEVER USE ABRASIVE NOT INTENDED FOR BLAST EQUIPMENT.

Do Not use abrasive blast media containing free silica. Silica can cause silicosis or other related
respiratory damage. Verify that the abrasive is intended for use in blasting equipment. Personal
protective equipment, including airline filters and respirators, must be used for all abrasive blasting
operations. Observe all applicable local, state, and federal safety regulations. See Sections 3.8, 3.10,
and reference OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134.

1.43.

CHECK ABRASIVE FOR DEBRIS.

Do Not use blast abrasive that contains trash or other debris. Trash or debris can create a blockage
and cause equipment malfunction. Screen recycled abrasive to remove trash.

1.44. STOP OPERATION IMMEDIATELY IF ANY ABNORMALITY IS DETECTED.

Do Not operate this equipment if anything abnormal is seen during operation. Stop operation
immediately for inspection. Refer to Section 8.0 for maintenance and inspection details.

1.45. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE LIFT EYES.

Do Not load the lifting eyes above the rated capacity. Do Not lift the blast vessel by any point other
than the lifting eyes or designated lift points. Do Not lift the blast vessel while it is pressurized. See
Section 2.6.

1.46. AVOID WET ENVIRONMENTS.

Do Not expose this equipment to rain. Do not use this equipment in wet conditions. AirPrep
Systems operated outdoors must be protected from weather.

1.47.

AVOID CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS.

Do Not locate this equipment in corrosive atmospheres as rapid deterioration of fan shroud, cooling
coil, fan and motor may take place resulting in reduced life.

1.48.

AVOID EXTREME TEMPERATURES.

Do Not expose AirPrep Systems fan motors to extreme temperatures. The motors furnished are
built for fan duty only. Consideration should be given to the installation location so motors are not
subjected to extreme temperatures. AirPrep Systems with air motor have a maximum operating
temperature of 250°F (121°C). Refer to the motor nameplate for AirPrep Systems with electric
motors. Do Not operate AirPrep Systems below 35°F (1°C).
