SInstall locking, manual, shutoff valves in the air supply lines to the
system. This allows you to relieve air pressure and lock out the
pneumatic system before undertaking maintenance and repairs.
SInstall a locking disconnect switch or breaker in the service line ahead
of any electrical equipment.
SUse only electrical wire of sufficient gauge and insulation to handle
the rated current demand. All wiring must meet local codes.
SGround all electrically conductive equipment within 10 feet (3 meters)
of the spray area. Ungrounded conductive equipment can store a
static charge which could ignite a fire or cause an explosion if a hot
spark is discharged.
SRoute electrical wiring, electrostatic cables, and air hoses and tubing
along a protected path. Make sure they will not be damaged by
moving equipment. Do not bend electrostatic cables around a radius
of less than 6 in. (152 mm).
SInstall safety interlocks and approved, fast-acting fire detection
systems. These shut down the spray system if the booth exhaust fan
fails, a fire is detected, or other emergency situation develops.
SMake sure the spray area floor is conductive to ground and that the
operator’s platform is grounded.
SUse only designated lifting points or lugs to lift and move heavy
equipment. Always balance and block loads when lifting to prevent
shifting. Lifting devices must be inspected, certified, and rated for a
greater weight than the equipment being lifted.
SProtect components from damage, wear, and harsh environmental
conditions.
SAllow ample room for maintenance, material supply container drop-off
and loading, panel accessibility, and cover removal.
SIf safety devices must be removed for installation, install them
immediately after the work is completed and check them for proper
functioning.
