(andalliedprocessesincludingspotwelding,gouging,plasmaarc
cutting,andinductionheatingoperations)createsanEMFfield
aroundtheweldingcircuit.EMFfieldsmayinterferewithsome
medicalimplants,e.g.Pacemakers.Protectivemeasuresfor
personswearingmedicalimplantshavetobetaken.Forexample,
restrictaccessforpassersbyorconductindividualriskassessment
forwelders.Allweldersshouldusethefollowingproceduresin
ordertominimizeexposuretoEMFfieldsfromtheweldingcircuit:
1. Keepcablesclosetogetherbytwistingortapingthem,orusing
acablecover.
2. Donotplaceyourbodybetweenweldingcables.Arrange
cablestoonesideandawayfromtheoperator.
3. Donotcoilordrapecablesaroundyourbody.
4. Keepheadandtrunkasfarawayfromtheequipmentinthe
weldingcircuitaspossible.
5. Connectworkclamptoworkpieceasclosetotheweldas
possible.
6. Donotworknextto,sitorleanontheweldingpowersource.

A. To Install Cap Assembly
1. RemovetheplasticcapfromtheTOUGHGARDAnti-Spatter
Liquidpail(5gal)ordrum(55gal).
2. Insertthecapassemblyintothetopofthepail/drumandtighten

B. Remove the Fluid Reservoir
1. Itisrecommendedthatthereservoirbeemptypriortoremoving
itfromthereamer.
2. Intheeventthatthereisstillfluidleftinthereservoir,itcanbe
emptiedwhilestillsecuredontothereamer.
a. Removethefrontspindlecoverbylooseningthe4BHCS
oneithersideofthecover.
b. Ontherighthandsideofthesprayercheckvalvethereisa
black5/16”fluidsupplyline.Before disconnecting the
supply line, have a small container ready to catch the
fluid as it drains out.
c. Disconnectthefluidsupplylineatthequickdisconnect
fitting(seeFigure7-C).
d. Thefluidwillbegintoflowoutofthesupplylineandintoa

4. Removethefour(4)BHCSonthesideofthereamerthathold
thesprayerreservoirmountingplateontothereamer(see
Figure7-D).
5. Carefullypullthereservoirfromthesideofthereamer.
a. Whileremoving,pushthefluidsupplylineinsidethe
reamertohelpguidethereservoirconnectionthroughthe
openingunderthemountingplate.

NOTE:Itisbesttostartbyestablishingthepail/drumlocation.This
makesiteasiertorunhosesandpermanentlysecurethem.

1. Afterthereservoirisremoved,runthehosefromthepail/drum
tothereamerbeingsurenottorunhoseswheretheymaybe
