INSTALLATION (continued)
FIRE PREVENTION
To prevent a container from catching fire and subsequently setting fire to the building and/or the
suspended chute (which could also introduce smoke into the building), users and installers must
take all of the following precautions:
1. Keep the contents of the trash container wet at all times (the Superchute ® Container
Drencher is available for this purpose). Water application will also help control dust. Do
not apply water if the temperature drops below the freezing point, or if the container
contains hazardous debris (the runoff could be toxic).
2. Make provisions for water
application on all floors
with exposure to the chute.
3. Install the container at least
10 feet (3 meters) away
from the building (check
local by-laws).
4. Seal the container with a
fireproof lid (example:
metal sheets) at the end of
each workday.
5. Move the base of the chute 10 feet (3 meters) away from the container at the end of each
work day, or, disconnect the last 10 feet (3 meters) of chute at the end of each work day.
6. Post clear signs around the trash container and on all floors facing the chute. Indicate:
Superchute®
Container Drencher
No Smoking, No Open Flame, No Welding, No Ignition Source
Within 20 Feet (6 Meters) Of The Chute And Trash Container.
Do Not Introduce Any Flammables.
Keep Container Contents Wet. Apply Water Frequently.
