INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. When filled with flushing fluid, the Porta Stream II
weighs approximately 150 lbs. Provide the necessary
equipment or personnel to install or remove the filled
Porta Stream II from the mounting bracket.
2. Install the mounting bracket so the Porta Stream II is
level.
3. Read all warning notices on the saline concentrate
bottle before mixing.
4. Wear suitable eye protection and gloves when
mixing the concentrate.
5. Do not add any product or material to the solution
of saline concentrate and water.
INSPECTION
An individual or department must be assigned the
task of checking all self-contained eyewash units
on a weekly schedule to ensure the unit is in proper
operating condition with adequate levels of flushing
fluid. Records of these weekly inspections should
be kept with the unit. Eyewash units containing
saline solution or water with an additive should be
cleaned and refilled per the solution manufacturer's
recommendations. Units containing just water need
to be cleaned and refilled once a week. Use of a
fluid beyond the expiration date may result in serious
personal injury.
NOTE: The S-9876 Saline Concentrate contains
a specially formulated salt compound. There
may be a white residue if solution has dried on
the Porta Stream II surfaces. The white residue
can be removed by wiping with a damp cloth.

16 gallons of liquid under the Porta Stream II.

into empty container.
3. Once there is no flow from nozzles, open fill cap on
top of unit and turn upside down over container to
empty any remaining fluid.
4. Partially fill unit with clean tap water and agitate
thoroughly. Turn upside down over container to
empty fluid.
5. Replace fill cap on top of unit. Partially fill unit

NOTE: If nozzles are blocked, they may
be opened by inserting a pin to remove
obstructions. If obstructions cannot be
removed, contact Uline Customer Service
at 1-800-295-5510 for replacement nozzles
(H-1142-NOZ).
