All Models
•
Never work with equipment you feel may be unsafe.
Contact your supervisor immediately if you feel a
piece of equipment is in an unsafe condition.
•
Cleaning solutions may be irritating to skin and eyes.
Always wear gloves, apron and safety glasses when
using. If splashed in eyes, flush thoroughly with
water and follow directions on cleaning solution
MSDS.
•
Install machine in a well ventilated area to avoid
possible buildup of cleaning solution fumes.
•
These units have moving parts, pinch-points and
close tolerances. Always stand clear of lift platform
and lid when operating as the lid could unexpectedly
open or the platform operate. Keep hands and fingers
away from tank when operating platform.
•
DO NOT perform any maintenance work on Liftkleen
without having the air shut-off valve in the “Off”
position and main air lines to cylinders disconnected.
Disconnect electrical power. Follow lock out
procedures.
Heated Models
•
Maximum operating temperature is 180°F. Higher
temperatures will cause increased risk of personal
injury and damage to the unit. Remember, any
temperature above 115°F can cause severe burns.
•
The operator and anyone working in or around the
Liftkleen must be cautious of the hot tank contents
(cleaning solution, platform, lid, parts, etc.) and of the
steam which escapes when the lid opens. Be sure
everyone who works in or around the Liftkleen reads
and understands how to use the chemicals or
compounds being used, as well as the machine.
All Models
•
When making an initial batch of cleaning solution or
when adding compound, follow manufacturer’s
directions exactly. Wear appropriate safety equipment
as recommended. Add only small amounts at one time
to prevent a sudden boiling and/or eruption of liquid
which will create a hazardous condition. NEVER dump
in a large quantity at one time.
•
If any cleaning solutions are splashed on clothing,
change promptly and thoroughly wash any body areas
which have been in contact with solution. Apply
lotion. Do NOT permit saturated clothing to remain in
contact with skin. Consult solution manufacturer’s
MSDS for further instruction.
•
When turning air on or off or when operating the lift
platform, stay clear of the lid, lift platform and
operating mechanism as the lid could unexpectedly
open or the platform operate.
Heated Models
•
Pump intake is above heater coil. Turn heater (an
optional feature) and pump (an optional feature) off
immediately. Failure to keep heater coil immersed can
cause heater to burn out.
•
Tanks should be cleaned out on a regular basis to
prevent sludge from building up around heaters.
Failure to do so could result in damage to the heaters.
Graymills is not responsible for such damage.
Unheated Models
•
Unit is equipped with a fusible safety link mechanism.
In the event of a fire, the fusible link will melt at 165°F.
This will cause the control to lower the platform and
close the lid, reducing oxygen supply to the fire. The
unit will cease to function until the safety-link has
been replaced
All Models
•
If you have purchased a unit with a carbon steel tank,
observe the following before using: Water-based
cleaning materials will generate water vapors.
Surfaces above the liquid level will be subject to
rusting (this condition exists with any manufacturer’s
unit). This is primarily surface rust and does not
appreciably affect the serviceability of the unit.
However, if your cleaning requirements cannot
tolerate any rust or contamination, please contact the
factory for information on stainless steel models
before putting the unit into service. Also, be sure your
cleaning material contains a rust inhibitor. (Check
with your cleaning fluid supplier.) The Graymills
Warranty does not cover rusting of carbon steel units
used with water-based material.
Heated Models
•
Either turn heater off or use the 24/7 heater timer
when unit is to be idle for extended periods (overnight
or weekends). Over time, the cleaning solution could
evaporate enough to damage heater coil.
