Installation & Operation Manual

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Employees who work with hazardous materials should

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 Drench Hose, squeeze handle. Flushing

should start, popping the spray nozzle caps open.

2. Lower 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 release the handle and return drench

hose 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.

MAINTENANCE GUIDE:
