- Workers who come in contact with potentially hazardous materials should be trained regarding placement and proper operation of emergency equipment per ANSI Z358.1.This unit is to be used with tepid, potable water, as defined by ANSI Z358.1.
NOTE: Avoid prolonged exposure to ambient heat sources above 100°F and below 60°F.
LOCATION AND INSTALLATION
MOUNT EYEWASH PEDESTAL TO WALL (OPTIONAL)
CAUTION! Eyewash station weighs 60 lbs. when filled to capacity. Two-person installation is recommended to safely install the unit. Mounting bracket screws and wall anchors (not included) must be strong enough to support the filled unit.1. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall with screws and wall anchors (not included).2. Attach the pedestal to the mounting bracket by the handles on the back of the unit. (See Figure 1)3. Check the condition of a gasket; ensure clamps are out of the way.
NOTE: When mounting the eyewash unit to the mounting bracket, make sure the unit is level and the spray heads are at a height of 33-53″ from the floor and situated at least 6″ from the wall or nearest obstruction (per ANSI Standard Z358.1-2014). (See Figure 1)
FILL AND MOUNT TANK
- Pour clean, potable, tepid water into the tank; continue pouring until the tank is 1/3 to 1/2 full.
- Add water preservative (S-21107, sold separately) to the eyewash tank. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the proper use of water preservatives.
- Add clean, potable, tepid water to the tank until the water level reaches the fill line.
- Insert one-liner into the cap (with hole) and attach the cap to the top of the tank. (See Figure 2)
NOTE: To ensure proper installation, the tank should be placed on the pedestal from the front of the unit.5. Invert the tank and place it on top of the pedestal. The piercing on the pedestal will puncture a hole in the cap liner and allow the solution to flow.6. Raise the tray to snap fit in an upright position. A slight adjustment to the position of the tank may be required for proper level placement of the tank on the pedestal.7. Secure the tank to the pedestal using the side tank clamps. Make sure the latches are pulled down tight to the pedestal. See diagram on page 1.8. Lower the tray to activate the water flow. Allow the water to flow until air bubbles form in the tank. Raise the tray and snap closed in the upright position. The system is now ready for use.
NOTE: After the tank is mounted to the pedestal, minor spillage may occur. Allow the fluid to stabilize completely before inspecting the unit for leaks.
