Installation & Operation Manual
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:
become familiar with the location and operation of the
nearest emergency plumbing fixture. Emergency
plumbing fixtures stations are simple to use and require
hands free operation once the station is activated.
Regular instruction regarding proper care and use will
increase confidence that the units are accessible and
function properly.
The route and area surrounding the Eye Wash should
be clear and unobstructed; the sooner eyes are flushed,
the less likelihood of damage. Eye Wash stations should
be located in close proximity to the hazard and take no
more than 10 seconds to reach. In the case of sever eye
contamination the victim may require assistance to the
Eye Wash station and help flushing their eyes.
Safety plumbing fixture equipment should be operated
weekly for a period long enough to verify operation,
clear the supply line of any sediment build-up and
minimize microbial contamination due to sitting water.
1. To start the Eye Wash, swing spray nozzle assembly
over the basin and push the paddle forward to the
horizontal or fully “ON” position. Flushing should start,
popping the spray nozzle caps open.
2. Lower both eyes into flow. Both eyes should be
flushed to prevent contamination from one eye from
being delivered to unaffected eye. Personnel who
wear contact lenses should remove them immediately
prior to or during the flush to prevent the
contamination from remaining against the cornea
possibly causing unnecessary damage or pain.
3. Using thumb and forefingers, fully open eyelids and
flush eyes thoroughly for approximately 15 minutes or
until medical personnel arrive. Be prepared to let the
doctor know what type of contamination has entered
the eye.
4. When finished return the push paddle to the vertical
or fully “OFF” position and return spray nozzle
assembly to standby position. Flushing fluid should
stop. Once flushing fluid has stopped flowing, return
spray nozzle lids to the closed position to protect from
airborne contaminates.
Employees who work with hazardous materials should
MAINTENANCE GUIDE:
Maintain and inspect in accordance with ANSI Z358.1-
2009
1. Check for obvious signs of wear, broken or defective
equipment. Re-paint if necessary. Replace missing or
defective equipment such as broken push paddles,
missing signs and inspection tags.
2. Remove strainer and washout any debris collected
–replace as required.
3. Operate Eye Wash nozzles using the push paddle to
place ball valve in the fully “ON” position checking for
smooth operation of valve push paddle mechanism at
the same time ensuring that the Eye Wash spray
nozzle caps pop off immediately when actuated. If the
ball valve does not operate smoothly check the
actuating assembly for binding or missing parts. If the
Eye Wash spray nozzle caps do not pop off immediately
when actuated check for correct supply inlet
pressure.
4. While in operation, inspect spray nozzles for clogs or
debris correct or replace as required.
5. Return push paddle to vertical or fully “OFF” position
and swing back to stand by position. To prevent Eye
Wash spray nozzles from becoming contaminated,
always close nozzle lids after each use.
