MAINTENANCE

Good preventive maintenance is essential for
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 proper disposal of waste. Ready access to
appropriate fire extinguishing equipment is re-
quired. For details, consult the appropriate ITW
Ransburg and/or NFPA safety information, your
local fire codes, local painting equipment stan-
dards, and the OSHA Act of 1970 as well as
your insurance carrier's recommendations.
