MAINTENANCE

Good maintenance is essential to safe and
productive operation. Schedules should be
established by the user, based on the following
general information and observations of the initial
production requirements. The ITW Ransburg
maintenance and safety information should be
made available to each operator.

Normal fire protection measures are necessary,
including proper storage of paints and solvents
and the proper disposal of waste. Ready access
to appropriate fire extinguishing equipment is
required. For details, consult the appropriate
NFPA safety information, your local fire codes,
local painting equipment standards. Reference
OSHA, NFPA-33, and your insurance carrier's
information for additional information.
