4 Safety Warnings
System Pressure
NEVER exceed the maximum reservoir pressure of 6.9 bar gauge (100 psi). The
maximum supply pressure to the reservoir regulator must not exceed 10.4 bar
gauge (150 psi).
BE SURE that all dispensing equipment and accessories are rated to withstand the
maximum operating pressure of the reservoir.
If an EFD five-micron filter regulator #2000F755 is not used, be certain your plant
air is properly filtered and dry. Oil or particulate in the air supply line can cause
erratic performance and can contaminate the fluid to be dispensed if it is not properly filtered.
Fluid Compatibility
BE SURE that all fluids, including their vapors, contained in the reservoir are com-
patible with all materials on the wetted materials list on page 14 of this manual.
Read the fluid manufacturer’s literature, including the MSDS (Material Safety Data
Sheet) and observe all warnings before pouring the fluid into the reservoir.
Fill Level
DO NOT overfill the reservoir. The recommended maximum fill level is 38.1 mm
(1.5") below the top of the liner.
Tipping and Dropping Hazard
BE SURE that the reservoir is placed on a hard, level surface and that all tubing
lengths are of sufficient length to allow free motion of all movable components
attached to the reservoir. DO NOT pull on tubing to move the reservoir.
Tipping the reservoir or otherwise supporting it on its side can cause fluid to enter
both the pressure regulator and pressure relief valve and interfere with their normal
function. A damaged pressure regulator and/or damaged pressure relief valve
may lead to an over-pressure condition within the reservoir. If the reservoir tips
or the pressure regulator and/or pressure relief valve otherwise become blocked,
they must be replaced with EFD supplied or approved parts before returning to
service.
Dropping the reservoir from any height can damage the pressure regulator, pressure
relief valve, and fittings and/or compromise the integrity of the reservoir body and
cover. A damaged pressure regulator and/or damaged pressure relief valve
may lead to an over-pressure condition within the reservoir. A damaged
reservoir body and/or cover can be an explosion hazard. If the reservoir falls
from any height, it must be thoroughly inspected for cracks or damage to the pressure regulator and/or pressure relief valve. If damage to a component is suspected,
it must be replaced with EFD supplied or approved parts before returning to service.
