Spray Area Fire Hazard
Improper or inadequate oper-
ation and maintenance proced-
ures will cause a fire hazard.
Protection against inadvertent
arcing that is capable of caus-
ing fire or explosion is lost if any
safety interlocks are disabled
during operation. Frequent
power supply shutdown indi-
cates a problem in the system
requiring correction.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the spray
area and tested periodically.
Spray areas must be kept clean to prevent the accumula-
tion 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 °F (37.8°C).
Spray booth ventilation must be kept at the rates required
by NFPA-33, OSHA, and local codes. In addition, ventila-
tion 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.
If used, the key switch bypass is intended for use only dur-
ing set-up operations. Production should never be done
with safety interlocks disabled.
Never use equipment intended for use in waterborne
installations to spray solvent based materials.
The paint process and equipment should be set up and
operated in accordance with NFPA-33, NEC, and OSHA
requirements.
