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 equipment
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 supplier.
Any other type of solvent may be used with aluminum
equipment.

Fire Hazard
Improper or inadequate opera-
tion and maintenance procedures
will cause a fire hazard.
Protection against inadvertent
arcing that is capable of causing
fire or explosion is lost if any
safety interlocks are disabled
during operation. Frequent
power supply shutdown indicates
a problem in the system requir-
ing correction.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the
spray area and tested periodically.
Spray areas must be kept clean to prevent the
accumulation of combustible residues.
Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
The high voltage supplied to the atomizer must be
turned off prior to cleaning, flushing or maintenance.
When using solvents for cleaning:
Those used for equipment flushing should have flash
points equal to or higher than those of the coating
material.
Those used for general cleaning must have flash
points above 100
o F (37.8 o C).
Spray booth ventilation must be kept at the rates
required by NFPA 33, 2000 Edition, OSHA and local
codes. In addition, ventilation must be maintained
during cleaning operations using flammable or
combustible solvents.
Electrostatic arcing must be prevented.
Test only in areas free of combustible material.
Testing may require high voltage to be on, but only as
instructed.
Non-factory replacement parts or unauthorized
equipment modifications may cause fire or injury.
The paint process and equipment should be set up
and operated in accordance with NFPA 33, NEC, and
OSHA requirements.
