6.8 Any mixed Coating that has been spilled may be absorbed with cat litter box
filler and wiped up with a cloth moistened with denatured or rubbing alcohol.
Allow remaining Coating material to harden in its container and dispose of
in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
6.9 In installations where Coating is installed before the battery system, racks may
be positioned only after the Coating has been completely cured. If a leak test
is to be performed, it also must be satisfactorily completed prior to rack
installation. Do not load the racks with batteries until the Coating has had at
least one week to completely cure. Once the battery racks have been
installed, obtain a Leak Repair Kit (part number 5LRK0001) and use it to seal
the frames (Figure 5.3) and anchors (Figure 5.4).
7. Leak Test
7.1 The barrier leak test is an optional procedure to verify the liquid-tight integrity
of the Spill Control System. After the Coating and the Adhesive have been
permitted to cure for 24 hours, perform a leak test by filling the Barrier system
with water and allowing it to stand while checking for leaks. If any leakage
occurs, identify and mark the unsealed location.
7.2 Drain the barrier and make sure the floor is clean and dry. In most cases, a
wet/dry shop vacuum is the quickest and easiest method to remove the water
from the barrier.
7.3 If leakage is found, obtain a Leak Repair Kit from Alpha Industrial Power.
Follow the enclosed instructions to mix an appropriate quantity of Adhesive
and brush it over the area of the leak until the crack or seam is no longer
evident. Allow the repair 24 hours to cure before retesting.
