3 Installation
PRIOR TO GETTING STARTED
•
WARNING! DO NOT DISASSEMBLE, REPAIR, OR REPLACE COMPONENTS OR SUBASSEMBLIES OF
THIS SYSTEM WITHOUT FIRST DEENERGIZING THE SYSTEM AIR SOURCE WITH LOCK AND TAG; THIS
CAN BE TESTED BY VISUALLY INSPECTING THE PRIMARY AIR GAUGE (A) ON THE VALVE PACKAGE
TO BE AT 0 PSI AND MANUALLY ATTEMPTING TO ACTUATE EITHER THREE-WAY AIR VALVE ON THE
VALVE PACKAGE.
•
WARNING! BE SURE THAT THE PRESS IS PROPERLY GUARDED IN ORDER TO AVOID INADVERTENT OR
UNINTENDED ACCESS TO THE SPRAY HEAD BY UNTRAINED PERSONNEL. REFERENCE ANSI B11.17 OR
SIMILAR PRESS GUARDING STANDARD.
•
WARNING! BE SURE TO MOUNT THE RESERVOIR AND VALVE PACKAGE OUTSIDE OF THE GUARDED
AREA, AS THEY WILL HAVE TO BE ACCESSED DURING NORMAL PRESS OPERATION.
•
WARNING! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST OR MODIFY NOZZLES, WHICH WILL BE WITHIN THE
GUARDED AREA, WITHOUT DEENERGIZING THE PRESS WITH LOCK AND TAG.
•
WARNING! THE SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED OR CAPABLE OF DISPENSING FLAMMABLE OR
COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS.
•
WARNING! USE PROPER EYE PROTECTION WITH SIDE SHIELDS WHEN IN THE AREA OF OPERATION.
DURING TESTING AND SUBSEQUENT SYSTEM REPAIR, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO USE FULL-
FACE SHIELD PROTECTION.
•
WARNING! THE SPRAY ASSEMBLY INVOLVES A CHAIN DRIVEN ROTATION NOZZLE THAT MAY
UNEXPECTEDLY ACTUATE. DO NOT ACCESS THIS AREA WITHOUT FIRST DEENERGIZING THE COMPLETE
SYSTEM AS NOTED ABOVE.
Installation
1. Remove complete system from the pallet and manually operate outside of the press
area. This can be completed by connecting all components according to the hose
connections as indicated in the photos on the following page. Once these hoses are
connected, connect plant air to the valve package and manually actuate the air valves
according to the system operating cycle. During manual operation, confirm that these
components are set accordingly and that the spray volume and pattern is acceptable. If
the settings specific to your operation are other than those recommended by AMCOL, they
should be recorded and controlled for later access and training.
2. With the press in normal operation and while standing outside of the press guarding,
observe potential areas for installation of the spray head, reservoir, and valve package. The
nozzles will have to fit without being hit by moving components of the press. The valve
package will have to be outside the press guarding and ideally within sight of the operator
and spray nozzle, but out of the general traffic area.
3. Deenergize, lock, and tag the press, then place the spray head nozzle in the expected
position (with no hoses attached) to properly assess the exact placement of this assembly.
