TANKO® S & TANKO® RB_IOM_Rev0

ATEX Spate Cleaner TANKO-EX-S and ATEX Spray Cleaner TANKO-EX-RB

DANGER

Danger of ignition in potentially explosive atmosphere due to potential differences! When filling and emptying containers with liquids, when recirculating, stirring, mixing and spraying liquids and also when implementing measuring, sampling and cleaning work, the liquids themselves or the interior of the container can be provided with a hazardous charge. Differences in potential (e.g. electrostatic charge) can cause igniting sparks or heat, which can act as an ignition source. There is a risk of death or severe physical injury.

 Only clean electrically conductive containers.

 Make sure that an electrostatic charge is prevented. Also ensure that all the electrically conductive parts on the device and the container must be grounded for potential equalization to the same potential using grounding cables with a sufficient diameter!

 The grounding must always be implemented before commissioning of the device.

 Avoid grounding faults (e.g. subsequent grounding of already charged objects or equipment).  Do not secure or seal mechanical connections with electrical insulating materials (such as sealing tape, sealant, adhesive, etc.), if it impairs the grounding of the device on the container.

DANGER

Explosion hazard due to ignition source! Existing explosive atmosphere can be ignited. There is a risk of death or severe physical injury.

 The cleaning agent and the material to be cleaned may not cause a chemical reaction that might cause an ignition.

 Electrostatic charges when handling liquids.

WARNING

Risk of burns from hot surfaces! The device is supplied without additional measures to provide protection from hot surfaces. The device may heat up significantly as a result of the cleaning agent or the heat transfer from the container. Contact with the device can cause burns on the skin. There is a risk of burns from the cleaning agent at temperatures of more than +60 °C (+140 °F).

Insulate hot surfaces.

 Secure hot surfaces with a guard or barriers.

 Put up warning signs in the direct vicinity of the hot surfaces.

 Use protective work clothing and protective gloves when working.
