• The unit must be level for proper operation.CAUTION! Failure to properly mount the unit may cause the unit to function improperly in an emergency.
• The unit weighs approximately 100 lbs. when installed with the cartridge. Assistance may be required when installing the eyewash station and/or the replacement cartridge.
• The area under the unit must be kept clear to allow the wastewater reservoir to drop during use.
• Employees must be instructed in the use of eyewash stations.
• The eyewash station is intended for the emergency first aid of victims exposed to fluid, chemical, or particle eye contamination to help flush contaminating substances from the eyes. In all cases, the victim must seek medical attention immediately after flushing.
• An individual or department must inspect this unit regularly (monthly maintenance is recommended). Records of these inspections should be kept with the unit as a log. CAUTION! Never use an expired cartridge. Use of an expired cartridge may result in serious personal injury or serious illness, including blindness.
• During the inspection, follow the proper disarmament procedure or else fluid flow will begin. Once the fluid flow has started, it cannot be stopped, and a new Saline cartridge must be installed.

CAUTION! Failure to follow and comply with all cautions and safety instructions may result in serious personal injury, blindness, or death.

THE ANSI STANDARD Z358.1-2014 REQUIRES THAT:

1. The unit shall be positioned with the fluid nozzle no less than 33″ and no greater than 53″ above the surface on which the user stands, and no less than 6″ from the wall or nearest obstruction.
2. Eyewash units shall be inaccessible locations that require no more than 10 seconds to reach. The eyewash station shall be located on the same level as the hazard and the path of travel shall be free of obstructions that may inhibit the immediate use of the equipment. For a strong acid or a strong caustic, the eyewash station should be immediately adjacent to the hazard.
3. Each eyewash station shall be identified with a highly visible sign provided with the unit, positioned so the sign shall be visible within the area served by the eyewash station. The area around the eyewash station shall be well lit.NOTE: It is recommended that a consulting physician or appropriate professional be contacted for advice on the proper distance from the hazard to install the eyewash unit.

INSTALLATION

UNIT INSTALLATION

1. On a secure wall, using a tape measure (or the tape provided), mark a height between 55″ and 67″, depending on the desired height of the unit. (See Figure 1)NOTE: Mounting must support 100 lbs. plus the weight of a person leaning on the unit.
2. Use a level to draw a horizontal line at the mark made in step 1. (See Figure 2)
3. Align the top of the bracket with the horizontal line and mount the bracket. Mount with appropriate mounting hardware (not included). (See Figure 3)
4. Keep the unit assembled and hang it on the mounted wall bracket. (See Figure 4)
5. Open side panels by snapping them out of the front panel. Remove the front panel by lifting upwards and then pulling forward. (See Figure 5)
6. Discard the shipping insert if Figure 6 any. (See Figure 6)

CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION (S-19328)

1. Inspect label and review expiration date to determine if the cartridge is current and ready for use. (See Figure 7)NOTE: Label contains product information and identifying lot number.
2. Hold the cartridge by side handles, making sure the nozzle and tube are facing downward and the sticker on the front face of the cartridge is facing out. (See Figure 8) NOTE: When lifting the cartridge, remember to lift close to your body, keeping your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees and keep your back straight, lifting with your legs. CAUTION! The cartridge weighs approximately 75 lbs. and may require assistance to lift.
3. Hang cartridge on brackets. (See Figure 9)NOTE: Ensure that the hooks are properly seated and the cartridge is against the wall panel.
4. Remove the polybag protecting the nozzle and free the tube by removing the rubber band (let the nozzle hang in the basin underneath the cartridge). (See Figure 10)
5. Remove the ties holding the four straps and let them hang on each side of the waste reservoir. (See Figure 11)
6. Compress the waste reservoir by pushing it forward. Slide all four straps (two front and two rear) into the hooks, making sure the straps are not twisted. Visually inspect all four corners of the bottom plate, making sure they are equal in height. (See Figure 12)WARNING! If the waste reservoir is not properly compressed, the unit will not function properly on activation. Make sure the area underneath the eyewash station is kept clear.
7. Make sure the drain spout is in its closed (left) position. (See Figure 13)
