Advanced Bulk System
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
The OilSafe
®
Advanced Bulk System is designed for the storage of machinery lubricating oils and other NON-VOLATILE fluids. STORAGE OF FLUIDS
WITH A FLASHPOINT BELOW 150°F (65.5°C) IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
Components within this system consist of materials that may not be compatible with your fluid. ALWAYS consult your supplier and refer to the
fluid manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheet (“MSDS”) before introducing a fluid to this system.
WARNING!
When replacing tanks, a Whitmore employee must be present to participate in, or supervise the
removal of tanks on frames.
ALWAYS ensure the main power supply is first locked out and the system depressurized before any service is
performed on this system. NEVER connect or disconnect lines or change filter elements or undertake any service
work when this system is running or energized. SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR.
WARNING!
FAILURE TO FOLLOW System installation, safety and operating instructions may result in SEVERE INJURY
OR DEATH, damage to plant and equipment and void warranties.
CAUTION!
System Operating Pressure should NEVER exceed 300 PSI. Operating pressures can be regulated by
adjusting pump bypass relief valves located on pump heads to suit specific lubricant viscosities and
temperatures.
IMPORTANT:
ALWAYS REFER TO THIS MANUAL OR CONSULT YOUR SUPPLIER FOR MORE INFORMATION.
•
ALWAYS ensure that you wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (“PPE”) when operating this system.
•
ALWAYS ensure that all system hoses, filters and fittings are securely fastened and in good working condition.
•
THE OIL DRUM MUST ALWAYS BE VENTED TO ATMOSPHERE (preferably utilizing a Desiccant Air Breather).
•
When dispensing or recirculating ALWAYS ensure the grounding cable is connected to the drum or barrel before starting the pump.
•
ALWAYS ensure the system is appropriately grounded to earth utilizing relevant grounding equipment as specified and installed by your authorized
electrical personnel in accordance with your local and federal regulations and safety procedures.
•
Ambient room temperature where the system is installed should be in the range of 60°F (15°C) TO 80°F (26°C) with optimum room temperature being
70°F (21°C). For ambient temperatures below 60°F (15°C) consult the manufacturer or your supplier for the supply of electric blanket heaters for
oil barrels, pails and bulk tanks to ensure stability of lubricant viscosity, condition and system performance. Temperatures less than (<60°F / 15°C)
can result in lubricant viscosity increasing above the rated ISO Code you specified at the time of order. Such adverse viscosity changes can cause
higher system operating pressures than those set at the factory. System operating pressure should never exceed 300 PSI as this can cause a gasket
failure on the spin-on filter resulting in a high pressure oil leak. Normal system operating pressure should be less than 240 PSI. Operating pressures
above 240 PSI will necessitate adjustment of the pump pressure relief bypass valve located on the pump head. Contact the manufacturer for more
information prior to commissioning the system if the ambient room temperature will ever fall below 60°F (15°C).
