Environmental Equipment Return Guidelines
- All equipment must be thoroughly cleaned, purged of product and decontaminated prior to shipment
to CET.
NOTE: CET recommends the use of Personal Protective Equipment, Level C or D, as defined in
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120.
- Any equipment or parts shipped to CET must include this RMA form,
completely
filled out by the
customer; and the CET RMA number clearly marked on the outside of all packages and paperwork.
The following procedures are aimed at protecting people and the environment from potential contact
with hazardous materials.
Please be aware that CET reserves the right to refuse delivery of any
equipment improperly decontaminated. CET also reserves the right to add a fee of $500.00 to the
repair invoice of any equipment or parts not decontaminated to the satisfaction of CET.
Please follow your organization’s prescribed decontamination procedures, and then carefully observe
each step of the following procedure prior to shipping anything back to CET (check each step off as you
go). During decontamination, make sure personnel are wearing the appropriate protective clothing and
observing all safety precautions.
1. Use the Spill Buddy to pump through a good quantity of a cleaning fluid compatible with
the product it was used to recover. Make sure that the discharge tube is clipped to an
appropriate container, and that the petcock is open.
2. After it is apparent that you have flushed out any product remaining in the tubing, purge
the tubing by turning the PUMP ON switch on and off repeatedly until as much product
as possible has been removed. Then hold the Spill Buddy on its side and turn on the
PUMP ON switch a few more times to continue purging.
3. Remove the pump assembly from the probe as described on page 16.
4. With the petcock open, apply pressurized air to the petcock end of the discharge tubing.
Use LOW pressure (less than 20 lbs. psi) to blow out excess product. Make sure that
the Probe end is in a discharge container
and that the pump assembly has been
removed
before turning on the air.
5. Clean the Probe as described on page14, washing it thoroughly to remove
contamination while taking care not to damage the sensor bands by avoiding the use of
sharp tools or stiff brushes.
6. Lubricate the pump by turning it upside down such that the intake hole is up and
spraying a
non-flammable
commercially available lubricant such as 3-in-One® oil into
the intake hole. Also squirt lubricant into the product discharge nipple of the pump.
7. You may then either replace the pump into the Probe (see page 19) or place the pump
inside a sealed plastic bag to send with the Spill Buddy.
8. If you have not already done so, call CET at (802) 425-3710 to request an RMA number
AND an RMA form, if needed.
9.
Completely
fill out the RMA form. If at all possible, fax the form to us or scan it to attach
to an email so that our service department has it ahead of your equipment’s arrival.
