Sulfuric acid
highly alkaline chemicals with pH value ≥ 13, such as
barium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium
hydroxide
Is not permissible in the process tanks without consulting
Crest Ultrasonics.
WARNING
Never place your hands, arms, or any body part in the
cleaning or rinse liquids when ultrasonic cleaning is in
operation. Always use racks, baskets, or tongs for inserting
and removing objects from the cleaning tank.
WARNING
For every cleaning liquid used, keep readily available
manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) with
regard to toxicity, stability against corrosive breakdown,
compatibility issues, and treatment of adverse reactions.
Before using a chemical, read all instructions provided by the
manufacturer and refer to them whenever there is any
question at all about the use of the cleaning liquids.
WARNING
Before working with any part of this ultrasonic cleaning
system, you must tightly secure loose hair, jewelry, loose
clothing and other personal effects that may be drawn into or

1.8 Compressed Air Hazard
WARNING
Compressed Air Hazard: Lockout source and bleed off
pressure before servicing equipment.
CAUTION
Compressed Air Hazard. Compressed air is used in this
system to provide power like shutter door, tank lid, and
conveyor stopper and so on.
Recommended compressed air pressure: 5-6 bar (80-90psi)
1.8.1 Safety Precautions –Compressed Air
The following precautions pertain to the use of compressed air devices:
All pipes, hoses, and fittings must have a rating of the maximum pressure
of the compressor. Compressed air pipelines should be identified (psi) as
to maximum working pressure.
Air supply shutoff valves should be located (as near as possible) at the
point-of-operation.
Air hoses should be kept free of grease and oil to reduce the possibility of
deterioration.
Hoses should not be strung across floors or aisles where they are liable to
cause personnel to trip and fall. When possible, air supply hoses should
be suspended overhead, or otherwise located to afford efficient access
and protection against damage.
Hose ends must be secured to prevent whipping if an accidental cut or
break occurs.
Pneumatic impact tools, such as riveting guns, should never be pointed at
a person.
Before a pneumatic tool is disconnected (unless it has quick disconnect
plugs), the air supply must be turned off at the control valve and the tool
bled.
Compressed air must not be used under any circumstances to clean dirt
and dust from clothing or off a person’s skin. Shop air used for cleaning

DMS-R-IM Safety
April 7, 2021 Digital Modular System - Rinse

should be regulated to 15 psi unless equipped with diffuser nozzles to
provide lesser pressure.
Goggles, face shields or other eye protection must be worn by personnel
using compressed air for cleaning equipment.
Static electricity can be generated through the use of pneumatic tools.
This type of equipment must be grounded or bonded if it is used where
fuel, flammable vapors or explosive atmospheres are present.
1.8.2 Safe Work Practices –Compressed Air
The following is a summary of safe work practices that should be followed
when using compressed air:
Ensure that excessive pressure and chip fly back hazards are effectively
controlled.
Always wear the appropriate personal protective equipment. As stated
previously, eye protection must be worn when using compressed air.
Never use compressed air to clean clothing or the body. This greatly
increases the risk of an air gun directly contacting the body. Particles can
also easily become dislodged and enter the skin or eyes. Use a safe
alternative such as a brush or vacuum tool.
Never participate in horseplay with compressed air. Never point an air
gun or direct air toward another individual.
Never tamper with air guns or modify them in any way. Homemade
devices added to air guns usually increase the potential for injury.

1.9 Mechanical Hazards
WARNING
Pinch Point And Mechanical Entanglement Hazards: Will
result in injury to fingers/hand if placed in machine. Keep
fingers/hand out of the system. Turn power off and lockout
tag out before servicing.
CAUTION
Trip Hazard!
Please be careful that the fill and drain hose is extended out
from the rear of the system and may cause tripping.
Extreme care and consideration were taken throughout the development of this
system for the safe operation of the equipment and operator. However, it is
mandatory that users observe extreme care to avoid situations that may
endanger life or cause injury. Therefore, it is essential to take the following
precautions:
Do not wear loose fitting clothing, neckties or jewelry that could become
entangled in moving parts.
Do not try to remove piece parts from a moving handling system.
Ensure that only trained and qualified personnel are permitted within the
working zone of the equipment.
Identify the working zone of the equipment with floor marking, signs and
barriers.
Eliminate areas where personnel might be trapped between moving and
fixed parts of the equipment (pinch points).
Provide sufficient room to permit safe training and maintenance
procedures.
Always adhere to local or company safety regulations.
Report to the appropriate authorities should any unsafe condition is
found around the area of the equipment.
