GENERAL SAFETY
1.
Never allow motor to be submerged in any liquid or
operated while wet.
2.
Never touch unit with wet hands or while standing in
a wet environment until power is turned off to unit.
3.
Always use a properly grounded power supply to unit.
4.
Use wire/extension cords should be underwriters
laboratories listed. The proper fuse size should always
be used.
5.
All wiring should be performed by a qualified
electrician and follow all electrical and safety codes as
well as the most recent national electrical code (NEC)
and the occupational safety and health act (OSHA).
6.
Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot
surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
Replace or repair damaged or worn cords
immediately.
7.
Disconnect power before servicing unit. If power
disconnect is out of sights, lock it in the open position
and tag it to prevent unexpected application of
power.
8.
Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are
designed to operate at high temperatures.
9.
Never operate unit around explosive fumes or liquids
or in an explosive atmosphere.
GROUNDING
A ground screw is provided on the Liquid Inlet Body
marked with a ground symbol. A ground wire should be
clamped under the screw head and connected to earth
ground via an approved grounding method. Likewise, a
ground wire should be affixed to the tank and terminated
at an earth ground.
DANGER:
It is not sufficient to ground only the
tank washer or the tank itself because the
electrical continuity between the tank wash
unit and tank cannot be guaranteed. A separate ground
connection from both the tank wash unit and the tank
itself should be made. Failure to follow this instruction
can result in buildup of static charge between the tank
and the tank washer parts which could cause a sudden
discharge of current with a resultant explosion or fire.
You may be killed or seriously injured if you do not
follow these instructions.
HIGH IMPACT SPRAYS
This tank washer may be equipped with solid stream
nozzles which concentrate the flow energy into a small
area for maximum impact and cleaning efficiency.
Operation at high pressure increases their effectiveness
but also creates a hazard if the proper precautions are
not followed.
WARNING: INJURY HAZARD FROM
HIGH IMPACT SPRAYS.
High impact sprays can cause severe injury. The liquid
pressure to the tank washer should never be turned on
while the unit is outside the tank. Failure to follow this
instruction can result in fluid penetration through
clothing and into the human skin causing severe injury,
possibly resulting in amputation or death . If any part of
the body comes in contact with the spray stream,
immediately consult a physician.
OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
It is your responsibly to operate this product at
recommended speeds, loads and temperatures.
Run the unit within the specified pressures and flow
rates for the liquid and air motor to ensure safety. To
maintain proper operations do not run the unit dry,
always keep liquid flow on before stopping the air motor.
DANGER : DO NOT USE TO SPRAY FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS--SUCH USE COULD RESULT IN FIRE OR
EXPLOSION CAUSING BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
Sound level from motor may exceed 85db(A). Check
compatibility of service fluid with materials used to
construct this product. Use a pressure gauge to monitor
liquid pressure (see 290E-EP-1 for flow rate data). Ensure
that the pumping system has monitor controls and
emergency shut off system in case of pressure spike
which can cause harm to this product. Failure to follow
this instruction can result in burns, eye injury or other
serious injury.
