SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The Micro Precision Steam Cleaner is our latest design and as such has been designed to be safe
for the user. A safety pressure relief valve is employed to protect the system and its' operators,
and will relieve pressure at 300 psig.
NEVER
bypass a safety device! There are high temperatures and high pressures of both saturated
and superheated steam present in the system. The delivery system for the aforementioned steam
is via an operator held and controlled wand. Va-Tran Systems, Inc. cannot control the applications
of, and/or operation by, the purchaser, and therefore cannot be held responsible for injuries,
accidents, or losses resulting from the use or misuse of the Micro Precision Steam Cleaning
System.
Steam exits this product from 212
to 350
Fahrenheit, at pressures from 25 to 250+ psig. If used
improperly, serious burn injury is possible.
NEVER
aim the exiting steam jet at people, and
NEVER
engage in 'horseplay' while operating this product. It is also possible to be burned by hot
water in the range of 140
to 212
Fahrenheit exiting the wand once the steam-generating chamber
has cooled. The following Safety Requirements are mandatory while operating this product:
Use only De-Ionized (DI) or Distilled Water in the Micro Precision Steam Cleaner. Use of any
other fluids will void any and all warrantees, both written and implied. Tap water contains
excessive minerals and calcium that can concentrate in the plumbing and cause excessive
pressures, reduced flow rates, and/or an explosion hazard. Other fluids, especially those with
flash points could cause explosions resulting in serious bodily injury or death.
Wear eye protection. A face shield is preferable, but safety glasses may be substituted.
Wear protective gloves as needed.
Wear a protective apron as needed to protect clothing from becoming soiled.
A skid-free rubber mat is recommended in cleaning area to prevent slip hazards.
Hearing protection is advised in areas where this product is operated in close quarters.
Avoid breathing any airborne contaminants that may be injurious. We recommend using
breathing protection. Consult an MSDS for any contaminants that you may be cleaning, and
use that information as a guideline for exposure levels and protective equipment.
This cleaning system has no 'steam shut-off' device. This means steam will exit the wand
nozzle until the steam-generating chamber is empty. Hold the wand safely until all steam has
exited the cleaning nozzle.
Never aim this gun at people. Do not engage in 'horseplay' when operating the MPS-I-302
Steam Cleaning System.
The item being cleaned should be grounded to prevent an electro static discharge (ESD) from
being generated.
