PRESSURE (MWP) AND/OR MAXIMUM OPERATING
TEMPERATURE (
O
F) SHOWN ON THE VESSEL ASME DATA
PLATE.
THIS ASME CODE VESSEL MUST BE PROTECTED BY A
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. Refer to OSHA 1910.169 Par. b,
Sub. Par (3) and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,
Section VIII, Division 1, UG-125 through UG-136. Also comply
with all applicable state and local codes.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE OR REPAIR ANY PART OF THE
SYSTEM UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY DEPRESSURIZED. SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT IF THIS SAFETY RULE IS
NOT FOLLOWED.
DO NOT WELD, GRIND, OR SAND VESSEL, THIS WILL MAKE
IT UNSAFE TO OPERATE. (Note: Any alteration to the vessel
will void the ASME Code Certification and the warranty.)
INSPECT VESSEL, INSIDE AND OUT, REGULARLY FOR
BULGES, CORROSION, DENTS, GOUGES, LEAKS OR SIGNS
OF FIRE. IF DAMAGED, REMOVE FROM SERVICE
IMMEDIATELY AND NOTIFY YOUR CERTIFYING AUTHORITY.
DO NOT TRY TO TIGHTEN A LEAKING HATCH COVER.
IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE AIR SUPPLY AND
DEPRESSURIZE THE SYSTEM.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE HATCH COVER UNTIL
THE SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY DEPRESSURIZED. WHEN
THE VESSEL PRESSURE IS REDUCED TO ZERO, THE
HATCH COVER CAN BE REMOVED BY HAND.
INSTALL A NEW GASKET EVERY TIME THE HATCH COVER
IS REMOVED, OR AT LEAST ONCE PER YEAR. INSPECT
THE COVER AND SEALING SURFACE FOR DAMAGE SUCH
AS CORROSION, CRACKS, OR DISTORTION. IF THERE IS
ANY DAMAGE, REPLACE COVER. REPLACE THE HATCH
COVER EVERY FIVE YEARS REGARDLESS OF CONDITION.
USE VAN AIR AUTHORIZED PARTS ONLY.
DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS OR CHEATER BARS TO
TIGHTEN THE NUT ON THE HATCH COVER. TOO MUCH
FORCE CAN DISTORT THE COVER AND/OR THE GASKET. IF
DAMAGED BY OVERTIGHTENING, THE COVER CAN BLOW
OUT AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. (Note: Tighten the nut
until it is snug. When the vessel is pressurized, the pressure
on the cover will complete the seal.)
THE USE OF CHEMICALS OTHER THAN VAN AIR
DESICCANT WILL VOID THE WARRANTY ON THE BLAST
PAK.
