It should be clearly identified, free from obstructions and easily accessible. IMPORTANT: Personal wash units shall be protected from freezing, and internal temperatures shall not exceed 38⁰C (100⁰F). Be careful of direct sunlight. WARNING: Use only the handles and the tank skirt when lifting or moving this unit; doing otherwise may damage the unit. NOTICE: Due to differing environments and end user conditions, caution should be observed and the product should be regularly monitored for wear, corrosion, and/or rough service, which can shorten the life of the product. The product should be removed from service if any wear or detrimental service issues occur and should, at minimum, be inspected annually. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1: Verify that the tank is depressurized – check the pressure gauge and pull up on the relief valve ring. STEP 2: Remove the cover plate on the top of the tank. Use potable water to flush and drain the tank at least twice. STEP 3: Fill the tank with potable water to the top of the water level mark on the tube inside of the tank. A flashlight may be useful to locate the mark. If desired, add Sterile Antimicrobial Preservative Model 9082 as directed (see Step 3 under Maintenance section). STEP 4: Lock the cover plate back in position. STEP 5: Screw the eyewash assembly into the ball valve so that the eyewash is aligned with the push flag. Seal this joint with Loctite 680 (not supplied). STEP 6: Charge the tank with clean compressed air to 100 PSI through the tire-type air valve. STEP 7: The unit is ready for operation. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Self-adjusting flow controls assure a constant even flow of .4 gpm, for at least 30 minutes. Instruct all employees in the use of this Portable Emergency Eyewash. Personnel should be assigned to check eyewash liquid level and pressure before any work starts. STEP 1: Lead the injured to the nearest eyewash station. Seconds can make a big difference in preventing serious eye injury. STEP 2: Push the flag to activate the eyewash. STEP 3: Lower head until eyes enter eyewash stream. Use thumbs and forefingers to hold eyelids open so water can flow on surfaces and in folds surrounding eyeballs. STEP 4: Seek qualified medical attention immediately. 05/16 Model 7601.37 Page 3 of 6 MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT: Before refilling the tank with water: Bleed pressure from the tank by pulling the metal ring on the relief valve. Keep hands and face away from the relief valve as it discharges, and wear hearing protection. – OR – Activate eyewash and allow unit to drain normally. Note that air will continue to escape after the water supply has been exhausted. NOTE: Customer must use the supplied inspection tag to maintain a record of inspection dates and type of maintenance performed (e.g. adding Sterile Antimicrobial Preservative Model 9082, cleaning tank). STEP 1: When water is filled up to the water level mark on the tube inside the tank, the unit weighs approximately 400 lbs. Use good judgment to check the water level. See Step 4 for additional information regarding units that have been activated. STEP 2: Self contained eyewash equipment shall be visually checked to determine if flushing fluid needs to be changed or supplemented. See Step 4 for additional information regarding units that have been activated. STEP 3: Take proper precautions to help prevent the growth of bacteria in the eyewash tank. We recommend either of the following procedures: Procedure A: Use a suitable sterile antimicrobial preservative, such as Haws Model 9082, to help prevent the growth of bacteria in eyewash tank. The tank should be drained, flushed and refilled with potable water and Sterile Antimicrobial Preservative Model 9082 as directed by the preservative’s manufacturer. Procedure B: Drain, flush and refill tank with 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, 158⁰F (70⁰C) or hotter will destroy Acanthamoeba but must be allowed to cool prior to use in eyewash units. STEP 4: If tank pressure drops below 95 psi, ensure the following steps are implemented: A. Follow Procedure A or Procedure B of Step 3 above to ensure that water quality is maintained. B. Refill tank with potable water to the watermark line. C. Charge the tank with clean compressed air to 100 PSI through the tire-type air valve. 05/16 Model 7601.37 Page 4 of 6 TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM REPAIR CHECKLIST 1. No flow. 1. a. Tank empty.
