Spray Area Fire Hazard
Improper or inadequate op-
er-ation and maintenance
pro-cedures will cause a fire
hazard.
Protection against inadver-
tent arcing that is capable of
causing fire or explosion is
lost if any safety interlocks
are disabled during opera-
tion. Frequent power supply
shut-down indicates a prob-
lem in the system requiring
correc-tion.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the
spray area and tested periodically.
Spray areas must be kept clean to prevent the accu-
mulation of combustible residues.
Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
The high voltage supplied to the atomizer must be
turned off prior to cleaning, flushing or maintenance.
When using solvents for cleaning:
Those used for equipment flushing should have flash
points equal to or higher than those of the
coating material.
Those used for general cleaning must have flash
points above 100 o F (37.8 o C).
Spray booth ventilation must be kept at the rates
required by NFPA-33, OSHA, and local codes. In ad-
dition, ventilation must be maintained during cleaning
operations using flammable or combustible solvents.
Electrostatic arcing must be prevented.
Test only in areas free of combustible material.
Testing may require high voltage to be on, but only
as instructed.
Non-factory replacement parts or unauthorized equip-
ment modifications may cause fire or injury.
If used, the key switch bypass is intended for use only
during set-up operations. Production should never
be done with safety interlocks disabled.
Never use equipment intended for use in waterborne
installations to spray solvent based materials.
The paint process and equipment should be set up
and operated in accordance with NFPA-33, NEC, and
OSHA requirements.
