Electrical
Equipment
High voltage equipment is uti-
lized. Arcing in areas of flamma-
ble or combustible mater-ials may
occur. Personnel are exposed to
high voltage during operation and
maintenance.
Protection against inadvertent
arcing that may cause a fire or
explosion is lost if safety circuits
are disabled during operation.
Frequent power supply shut-
down indicates a problem in the
system which requires correction.
An electrical arc can ignite coat-
ing materials and cause a fire or
explosion.
The power supply, optional remote control cabinet,
and all other electrical equipment must be located
outside Class I or II, Division 1 and 2 hazardous
areas. Refer to NFPA-33.
Turn the power supply OFF before working on the
equipment.
Test only in areas free of flammable or combustible
material.
Testing may require high voltage to be on, but only
as instructed.
Production should never be done with the safety
circuits disabled.
Before turning the high voltage on, make sure no
objects are within the sparking distance.
Explosion Hazard/
Incompatible
Materials
Halogenated hydrocarbon sol-
vents for example: methylene
chloride and 1,1,1,-Trichloro-
ethane are not chemically com-
patible with the aluminum that
might be used in many system
components. The chemical re-
action caused by these solvents
reacting with aluminum can be-
come violent and lead to an
equipment explosion.
Aluminum is widely used in other spray application
equipment - such as material pumps, regulators,
triggering valves, etc. Halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents must never be used with aluminum equip-
ment during spraying, flushing, or cleaning. Read
the label or data sheet for the material you intend
to spray. If in doubt as to whether or not a coating
or cleaning material is compatible, contact your
material supplier. Any other type of solvent may
be used with aluminum equipment.
Improper operation or mainte-
nance may create a hazard.
Personnel must be properly
trained in the use of this equip-
ment.
Personnel must be given training in accordance
with the requirements of NFPA-33.
Instructions and safety precautions must be read
and understood prior to using this equipment.
Comply with appropriate local, state, and national
codes governing ventilation, fire protection, opera-
tion maintenance, and housekeeping. Reference
OSHA, NFPA-33, and your insurance company
require-ments.
