Equipment
Equipment Equipment Equipment Equipment
High voltage equipment is utilized.
Arcing in areas of flammable or
combustible materials 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 coating
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.

Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents
for example: methylene chloride
and 1,1,1,-Trichloroethane are not
chemically compatible with the
aluminum that might be used in
many system components. The
chemical reaction caused by these
solvents reacting with aluminum
can become 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 sup-
plier. Any other type of solvent may be used with
aluminum equipment.
Improper operation or maintenance
may create a hazard.
Personnel must be properly trained
in the use of this equipment.
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, operation
maintenance, and housekeeping. Reference OSHA,
NFPA-33, and your insurance company requirements.
