SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before operating, maintaining or servicing any
Ransburg coating system, read and understand all
of the technical and safety literature for your Ransburg products. This manual contains information
that is important for you to know and understand.
This information relates to USER SAFETY and
PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To
help you recognize this information, we use the
following symbols. Please pay particular attention
to these sections.
A WARNING! states information to alert you to a
situation that might cause serious injury if instructions are not followed.
A CAUTION! states information that tells how to
prevent damage to equipment or how to avoid a
situation that might cause minor injury.
A NOTE is information relevant to the procedure
in progress.
While this manual lists standard specications and
service procedures, some minor deviations may be
found between this literature and your equipment.
Differences in local codes and plant requirements,
material delivery requirements, etc., make such
variations inevitable. Compare this manual with
your system installation drawings and appropriate
Ransburg equipment
manuals to reconcile such differences.

!
> The user MUST read and be familiar
with the Safety Section in this manual and
the Ransburg safety literature therein
identied.
> This manual MUST be read and thoroughly
understood by ALL personnel who operate,
clean or maintain this equipment! Special
care should be taken to ensure that the
WARNINGS and safety requirements for
operating and servicing the equipment are
followed. The user should be aware of and
adhere to ALL local building and re codes
and ordinances as well as NFPA-33 SAFETY
STANDARD, prior to installing, operating,
and/or servicing this equipment.

> The hazards shown on the following
page may occur during the normal use of
this equipment. Please read the hazard
chart beginning on page 2.
Careful study and continued use of this manual will
provide a better understanding of the equipment
and process, resulting in more efcient operation, longer trouble-free service and faster, easier
troubleshooting. If you do not have the manuals
and safety literature for your Ransburg system,
contact your local Ransburg representative or

AquaTank - Safety
AREA
Tells where hazards
may occur.
Spray Area
HAZARD
Tells what the hazard is.
Fire Hazard
Improper or inadequate opera-tion
and maintenance procedures will
cause a re hazard.
Protection against inadvertent
arcing that is capable of causing
re or explosion is lost if any safety
interlocks are disabled during operation. Frequent power supply
shutdown indicates a problem in
the system requiring correction.
SAFEGUARDS
Tells how to avoid the hazard.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the
spray area and tested periodically.
Spray areas must be kept clean to prevent the accumulation of combustible residues.
Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
The high voltage supplied to the atomizer must be
turned off prior to cleaning, ushing or maintenance.
When using solvents for cleaning:
Those used for equipment ushing should have
ash points equal to or higher than those of the
coating material.
Those used for general cleaning must have ash
points above 100oF (37.8oC).
Spray booth ventilation must be kept at the rates
required by NFPA 33, OSHA, and local codes. In
addition, ventilation must be maintained during
cleaning operations using ammable or combustible
solvents.
Electrostatic arcing must be prevented.
Test only in areas free of combustible material.
Testing may require high voltage to be on, but only
as instructed.
Non-factory replacement parts or unauthorized
equipment modications may cause re or injury.
If used, the key switch bypass is intended for use
only during setup operations. Production should
never be done with safety interlocks disabled.
Never use equipment intended for use in waterborne
installations to spray solvent based materials.
The paint process and equipment should be set up
and operated in accordance with NFPA-33, NEC,
and OSHA requirements.

High voltage equipment is utilized.
Arcing in areas of ammable or

cur. Personnel are exposed to
high voltage during operation and
maintenance.
Protection against inadvertent
arcing that may cause a re or
explosion is lost if safety circuits
are disabled during operation.
Frequent power supply shutdown
indicates a problem in the system
which requires correction.
An electrical arc can ignite coat-
ing materials and cause a re or
explosion.
SAFEGUARDS
Tells how to avoid the hazard.
Personnel must be given training in accordance with
the requirements of NFPA-33.
Instructions and safety precautions must be read and
understood prior to using this equipment.
Comply with appropriate local, state, and national
codes governing ventilation, re protection, operation maintenance, and housekeeping. References
OSHA, NFPA-33, and your insurance company
The power supply, optional remove control cabinet,
and all other electrical equipment must be located
outside Class I or II, Division 1 and 2 hazardous
areas. Refer to NFPA-33.
Turn the power supply OFF before working on the
equipment.
Test only in areas free of ammable or combustible
material.
Testing may require high voltage to be on, but only
as instructed.
Production should never be done with the safety
circuits disabled.
Before turning the high voltage on, make sure no
objects are within the sparking distance.
Toxic Substances
3
Certain material may be harmful
if inhaled, or if there is contact
with the skin.
Follow the requirements of the Material Safety Data
Sheet supplied by coating material manufacturer.
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air
free of accumulations of toxic materials.
Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a chance
of inhaling sprayed materials. The mask must be
compatible with the material being sprayed and its
concentration. Equipment must be as prescribed
by an industrial hygienist or safety expert, and be
NIOSH approved.

This is a high voltage device that
can produce electrical arcs capable of igniting coating materials.
SAFEGUARDS
Tells how to avoid the hazard.
This system is intended for use with waterborne
coating formulations only.
Waterborne, waterbase and water reducible coatings
are considered the same. Although they may not
be highly ammable, their residues are considered
combustible.
Parts being sprayed must be supported on conveyors or hangers and be grounded. The resistance
between the part and ground must not exceed 1
megohm. (Reference NFPA-33.)
A safe distance must be maintained between the parts
being coated and the atomizer bell. A distance of at
least 1 inch for each 10 kV of power supply output
voltage is required at all times.
Parts must be supported so that they will not swing
and reduce the clearance specied above.
All electrically conductive objects in the spray area,
with the exception of those objects required by the
process to be at high voltage, must be grounded.
Unless specically approved for use in hazardous
locations, the power supply and other electrical
equipment must not be used in Class I, Division 1
or 2 locations.
