MB PBE5001- Instruction Manual

Important Safety Information
Please read this entire instruction manual for important safety information before using your Keg Washer.
Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious injury or death.
High-Pressure Hazard:
Keg washers operate under high pressure, posing a risk of injury from bursting or improperly handled hoses. Always check the integrity
•
of hoses and connections before use.
Chemical Exposure:
• The use of cleaning and sanitizing chemicals can pose a risk. It's essential to understand and follow proper handling procedures for any
chemicals used, including wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves and goggles. Read your MSDS for every
chemical used.
Hot Water & Steam Burns:
• Keg washers use hot water and have a steam option, both of which can cause severe burns. Avoid direct contact with hot water
or steam, and use protective gear when necessary. Understand the location from which steam is vented from the system, and take
precautions to protect yourself and others in the keg washing area.
Electrical Hazard:
• As with any electrical equipment, there is a risk of shock, especially in environments where water is present. Ensure that the equipment
is properly grounded, and avoid handling electrical components with wet hands or in a wet environment. Disconnect power before
servicing.
Explosion Risk with Improperly Ventilated Kegs:
• If a keg is not properly ventilated, pressure can build up, leading to an explosion. Ensure that all kegs are properly depressurized before
attaching them to the keg washer.
Slip and Trip Hazards:
• Wet floors around the keg washer can be slippery. Maintain a clean, dry area around the equipment to prevent falls.
Ergonomic Hazards:
• Improper handling of kegs can lead to strains or injuries. Use proper lifting techniques and equipment when moving kegs.
Noise Exposure:
• Keg washers can be loud. Prolonged exposure to high noise levels can damage hearing. Use ear protection if necessary.
Proper Training and Operation:
• Only trained personnel should operate the keg washer. Ensure that all operators are familiar with these instructions and safety
procedures.
Regular Maintenance and Inspections:
Regularly inspect and maintain the keg washer to ensure it is in good working condition. Replace defective or worn-out parts
•
immediately. Pay close attention to tubing, as old tubing can rupture during use.
Always connect two kegs for cleaning! Both keg couplers will spray chemicals whenever a cycle is
started.
Emergency Procedures:
Be aware of and understand the emergency shut-off procedures.
•
• Know the location of the nearest eye wash station (indicated by signage).
• Familiarize yourself with the operation of the eye wash station.
• Report all incidents of chemical exposure to your supervisor, no matter how minor they may seem.
