3.0 Equipment Safety
WARNING
Magnum Venus Plastech suggest that personal safety equipment such as EYE
GOGGLES, GLOVES, EAR PROTECTION, and RESPIRATORS be worn when servicing or
operating this equipment. Ear protection should be worn when operating a fiberglass
chopper to protect against hearing loss since noise levels can be as high as 116 dB
(decibels). This equipment should only be operated or serviced by technically trained
personnel!
WARNING
Never place fingers, hands, or any body part near or directly in front of the spray gun
fluid tip. The force of the liquid as it exits the spray tip can cause serious injury by
shooting liquid through the skin. NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE GUN SPRAY TIP OR
POINT THE GUN AT OR NEAR ANOTHER PERSON. (TREAT THE GUN AS IF IT WERE A
LOADED PISTOL.)
3.1 Emergency Stop Procedures
The following steps should be followed in order to stop the machinery in an emergency situation
1. The ball valve located where the air enters the power head of the resin pump, should be
moved to the “OFF” or closed position. To do this, simply rotate the lever on the ball valve
90 degrees. Doing this will cause all the system air to bleed out of the system in a matter of
a few seconds, making the system incapable of operating
NOTE: Step 2 is a precautionary step and should be followed whenever the above
mentioned ball valve is activated to the stop mode. Failure to do so, can damage the
regulators and components on reactivating to the “ON” position.
2. Turn all system regulators to the “OFF” position (counter-clockwise) position
NOTE: Verify that the Catalyst relief line, located on the catalyst manifold, and the resin
return line, located on the resin filter, are secured relieving catalyst and resin fluid
pressure.
3. Catalyst pressure in the catalyst pump can be eliminated by rotating the ball valve on the
catalyst manifold 90 degrees to the “open” or “on” position.
Note: The “open” or “on” position is when the ball valve handle is parallel (in line) with
the ball valve body. The “closed” or “off” position is when the ball valve handle is
perpendicular (across) the ball valve body.
4. Resin pressure in the resin pump can be eliminated by rotating the ball valve on the resin
filter 90 degrees to the “open” or “on” position. Place a container under the ball valve to
catch any resin that is ejected out of the valve.
