WARNING SUMMARY - Continued
WARNING
PARTS UNDER PRESSURE
•
Wear safety goggles and use caution when removing or installing springs, snap rings,
retaining rings, and other parts under spring tension. These parts can act as
projectiles. Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.
•
During pressure tests, ensure air pressure is drained to 0 psi (0 kPa) before taking
off any components. If pressure is not released, plates or line could blow off and harm
personnel. Do not drain air from tank with any part of body in air spray path. Skin
embolisms and/or debris in eyes can occur from released pressure.
•
High air pressure may be released from valve stem when valve core is removed. Stay
clear of valve stem after core is removed. Ensure all personnel wear suitable eye
protection. Failure to comply may result in injury to personnel.
•
Stand clear of trajectory area during deflation or personal injury or death may result.
•
Lock-ring is under tension. If lock-ring breaks loose it could cause injury to personnel.
Keep hands and fingers away from lock-ring when removing.
•
Never adjust relief valve so that personnel must stand on strongback to operate latch.
•
If there is any residual pressure in tank when relief valve is open, personnel may lose
their balance and fall. Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.
•
Use extreme care when removing or installing springs. Springs are under tension
and can act as projectiles when released. Ensure proper eye protection is worn to
prevent injury to personnel. Eye protection is required during all grinding operations.
Failure to comply may result in serious injury to personnel.
•
Failure to relieve tank pressure may result in sudden, unexpected loss of pressure.
Failure to comply may result in personal injury or death.
