LOCATION OF UNIT: The Model 7603 should be placed in close proximity to potential accident areas. It should be clearly identified, free from obstructions and easily accessible.

IMPORTANT: Eyewash unit s 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: Under ideal conditions, Model 7603 eyewash system should last for 1600 cycles or

30 years, whichever comes first. 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: Use potable water to flush and drain the tank. STEP 2: Apply a small bead of Dow Corning 832 sealant around the threaded end of the dip

tube, approximately at the second thread from the end of the tube. Thread and hand-tighten the dip tube into the bottom of the eyewash plumbing.

STEP 3: Fill the tank with 10 gallons of clean, potable water (note fill line on main label).

If desired, add Sterile Antimicrobial Preservative Model 9082 as directed (see Step 3 under Maintenance section).

STEP 4: Place the eyewash plumbing onto the tank opening, with the gasket sandwiched

between the two.

STEP 5: Install the clamp to secure and seal the bottom of the eyewash plumbing to the

tank opening. Tighten clamp bolts to 10 ft. lb. of torque. Tighten each bolt

incrementally until both sides are tightened appropriately. Insert cotter pins into holes in clamp bolts. NOTE: If the optional Haws Model 8901B was purchased for this unit, remove the

plug from the back of the 7603’s eyewash plumbing and install drench hose now.

Seal this connection with pipe joint sealant PST #567 (Loctite) (not supplied). STEP 6: Charge the tank with clean compressed air to 75 PSI through the tire-type air

valve. STEP 7: Attac h the supplied inspection tag to a convenient location on the tank.

The unit is ready for operation.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Self-adjusting flow controls assure a constant flow at or above .4 gpm, for at least 15 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 person 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. IMPORTANT: Do not use the optional drench hose simultaneously with the

eyewash. This will exhaust the water supply too quickly for thorough eye irrigation.

STEP 3: Lower head until eyes enter the 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: BLEED ALL PRESSURE FROM UNIT BEFO RE REMOVING CLAMP BOLTS.

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 the unit is filled with 10 gallons of water, it weighs approximately 123 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

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.
