INSTALLATION
The following is step by step instructions of how to install the SE-4300 unit. Before getting starting, review the rough-in drawing on the backside
of this sheet to help assure proper understanding and installation. The eyewash unit weights approximately 185 lbs. when completely filled. So
be sure to select a mounting structure (wall, etc.) and mounting hardware that is suitable to hold a vertical load of minimum 300 lbs. 1)
Determine desired location of the eyewash. This location should be suitable so the unit does not freeze, or become overheated. 2) Determine the
desired height of the eyewash spray heads, which need to be between 33"-45" to comply with the ANSI standard, and then use the dimensions
given in the rough-in diagram to determine the required mounting height of the wall bracket. Make sure the bracket is as level as possible to
ensure proper flow pattern, and mount the bracket using the appropriate hardware. 3) Place empty tank on bracket by latching first, the upper
handle portion of eyewash tank to upper "hook" of wall bracket, and position the bottom portion of tank onto the wall bracket so drain fitting can
be inserted through drain hole of tank and hole in wall bracket simultaneously. Lock the drain fitting into place by assembling washer & nut to
underside of drain fitting. 4) Attach drench hose to side outlet connection located on the lower right side of tank, per SE-4290 instructions. 5)
Make sure yellow plastic elastomer activation strap is completely pushed onto the (2) spray heads. Remove fill cap from top of tank, and empty
the 8 oz bottle SE-4210 water preservative into the tank. Continue to fill the tank with potable water (approximately 20 gallons). Failure to use
potable water can result in emergency units producing impure or contaminated water causing possible further injury. 6) Assemble fill cap to
tank, and secure with tamper-evident seal tie.
OPERATION
The eyewash is activated by pulling the Yellow elastomer strap from the spray heads. Allow the unit to run until water level is below spray
heads, and water no longer is coming from spray heads. The gravity fed drench hose is operated by removing the spray head from the mounting
clip on the tank, and directing the spray to the desired area of the body needing cleansing. IMPORTANT, the unit should be full at all times, to
achieve the minimum 15 minute run time (for the eyewash only) as stated by ANSI, in an emergency situation. Refill the tank to a full level after
each activation. Note: before refilling tank dry & clean outside of spray heads, and inside of pull strap to remove debris, and to assure proper
sealing.
TESTING PROGRAM
The ANSI standard states that "self-contained eyewash units shall be visually checked to determine if the flushing fluid needs to be changed or
supplemented". It is recommended that a visual inspection be conduct weekly, unless this product is placed in environments with extreme
conditions that may affect the form, fit, or function of the product (temperature, dirt, etc.). If this is the case then the inspection should be
conduct more often as the end-user deems necessary. Speakman Company furnishes a testing record tag (91-0635) with each unit. On this tag the
date of inspection and the inspector's initials should be noted.
MAINTENANCE
This product should not require much maintenance, other than the ocational cleaning & disinfection, which will depend on the environment of
the unit. Recommendation for thorough cleaning & disinfecting consists of 1) add ½ cup (4 fluid oz) of Clorox (liquid bleach) to a full tank of
