LOCATION OF UNIT: The Model 7601.37 should be placed in close proximity to potential
accident areas. 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 – chec k 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 to p 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 injur ed 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.

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 cont ained 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.
