MAINTENANCE
Good maintenance is essential to safe and productive
operation. Schedules should be established by the

observations of the initial production requirements.
The Ransburg maintenance and safety information
should be made available to each operator.
Normal fire protection measures are necessary, includ-
ing 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, and local painting equipment
standards. Reference OSHA, NFPA-33, and your insur-
ance company information.
