GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AquaTank TM is Ransburg's Waterbase Isola-
tion Tank used for electrostatic, waterbase spray
applications. The AquaTank isolates nonflam-
mable materials from ground, allowing the material
to be electrostatically charged and deposited on a
target. There is no isolation cage required since
the AquaTank contains the voltage within the tank.
The 76103-02 and -05 are agitators used to keep
water-based material in suspension without shear-
ing in the LAQU5010 and LAQU5030 AquaTank
assemblies. Both agitator assemblies may be
ordered factory installed in new tanks, or may be
retrofitted into an existing AquaTank. The agitator
unit is designed to allow the tank to be filled from
the bung adapter.
> Without filter/separator, dirt or other
contaminants may enter your material
and destroy the finish of a product.
NOTE
> Use this product only with materials
which are considered water reducible and
have a flashpoint above 100 o F (37.8 o C).
(See NFPA-33.)
> For use with materials which do not
sustain burning longer than specified in
accordance with ASTM D 4206.
> If you are not sure of the flash point of
the material, refer to the Material Safety Data
Sheets provided with the material.

> Air pressures that are higher than the
pressure rating, or changes to the pressure
feed tank, can cause the tank to rupture or
explode.
> A safety valve protects the tank from
overpressurization. Prior to each use, with
no voltage to the tank, pull ring on the safety
valve to make sure it operates freely and
relieves air pressure. If the valve is stuck,
does not operate freely, or does not relieve
air pressure, it must be replaced. Do not
eliminate, make adjustments, or substitutions
to this valve.
> Changes to the air tank will weaken it.
Never drill into, weld, or change the tank in
any way.
> Maximum working pressure: LAQU5030
is 55 psig; LAQU5010 is 80 psig.

!
> Waterborne, waterbase, and water
reducible coating are considered the
same. Although they may not be highly
flammable, their residues are consid-
ered combustible.
