CAUTION
FOR PERSONAL PROTECTION DURING OPERATION:
• Put on a safety helmet, safety boots, safety gloves and a safety belt, before any
installation work is started.
• Conduct all required lock-out, tag-out or similar required procedures prior to inspection
or repair.
• When using the fall prevention wire to prevent Knocker from falling, be sure to secure
shackle with appropriate tie to prevent shackle screw from loosening from percussion
during operation.
CAUTION
FOR LONGER SERVICE LIFE:
• When installing the air line, include a filter or filter/regulator prior to the Solenoid
valve to minimize dust getting into the Solenoid valve, which may inhibit the Knocker
from operating properly.
• Make sure the force of impact does not exceed the maximum level, as excessive
impact may damage the vessel it is mounted on.
• When applying continuous impact at short cycles, allow an interval of at least one
second. An interval of less than one second may lead to damage or operation
problems.
• Only start air lines after checking that there is no foreign substance, chips, or slag
on the piping materials.
• Flush with the air pressure of 44 psi or more, to clean any debris or contamination
in the piping.
• Use air that passed through an air filter 5 micrometers or less. Moisture or dust in
line will potentially cause poor operation and air leakage.
• The line should connect to the IN side in the direction of the flow and to the IN port
displayed on the product.
• Do not use in an area with corrosive explosive gas.
• When using a sealant, be careful to keep from inside the line, and seal to prevent
external leaks. When wrapping sealing tape around the screw part, wrap the tip of
the screws leaving 2 to 3 threads. Also, when using a liquid sealant, coat leaving 2
to 3 threads. Do not coat the female screws of the equipment. Tighten and check
for air leaks.
• In cold areas, please protect against freezing. (Air should not freeze)
• Avoid placing a heavy load on the lines.
• Operation air should contain some moisture or light oil. Operating using dry air may
shorten the product’s life cycle.
