LOCATION OF UNIT: The Model 7500 Portable Eyewash should be installed in close proximity to potential accident areas. It should be clearly identified, free from obstructions and easily accessible. May be wall or shelf mounted. NOTE: Personal wash units shall be protected from freezing and shall not be exposed to ambient temperatures exceeding 38⁰C (100⁰F). INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1: Mount unit to wall utilizing “J” bracket (supplied). Note: ¼” mounting hardware not supplied. Unit can also be mounted on shelf. Make sure portable eyewash unit is level from front to back and left to right before securing bracket to wall. Eyewash nozzles should be between 33 inches (83.8 cm) and 45 inches (114.3 cm) above the floor when eyewash arm is in the active (lowered) position (See Installation Drawing Page 7 of 7). IMPORTANT: Filled eyewash unit is heavy (approximately 140 pounds). Wall bracket anchors, (Quantity-3, not supplied), or shelf must be strong enough to support the filled eyewash and the weight of a worker leaning on eyewash. STEP 2: Install drain hose (supplied), if desired. STEP 3: Fill up to fill line (make sure that no debris or contaminants of any kind are present in the flushing fluid). Make sure unit is level from front to back and left to right. If installed as indicated, eyewash unit will provide 15-minute duration of flow. STEP 4: Take proper precautions to help prevent the growth of potentially harmful bacteria in eyewash tanks. (Refer to Maintenance Instructions). OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Instruct all employees in the use of this Emergency Eyewash. Personnel should be assigned to check eyewash liquid level daily. STEP 1: Lead patient to nearest eyewash station. Seconds can make the difference in preventing serious eye injury. STEP 2: Pull yellow eyewash arm firmly. Eyewash arm will drop to activate eyewash.

See STEP 3 for additional information regarding activated units. Frequency of inspection: Depending on environmental conditions, visual inspections should be performed on either a daily, weekly or monthly basis as some water loss will occur due to natural evaporation process. STEP 2: Take proper precautions to help prevent the growth of potentially harmful bacteria in eyewash tanks. We recommend either of the following procedures: A. Procedure 1: Use suitable Sterile Antimicrobial Preservative Model 9082 to help prevent the growth of bacteria in eyewash tank. Eyewash tank should be drained, flushed and refilled with clean potable water and Sterile Antimicrobial Preservative Model 9082 as directed by the preservative’s manufacturer. B. Procedure 2: Drain, flush and refill portable units with clean potable water at least once every week. Thoroughly cleanse tank at least once every month. NOTE: Acanthamoeba survive mild chlorination and are commonly found in tap water. Sterile Antimicrobial Preservative Model 9082 will prevent the growth of Acanthamoeba. Hot water, 158º F (70º C) or hotter will destroy Acanthamoeba but must be allowed to cool prior to use in eyewash units. STEP 3: After activating units for whatever reason, ensure the following steps are implemented: A. Refill tank with potable water to the watermark line. B. If water is discharged for any reason – follow Procedure 1 or Procedure 2 of Step 2 above to ensure that water quality is maintained.
