Page 7: Safety & Warning Information
CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual SAFETY & WARNING INFORMATION: OPERATING YOUR POLYESTER SYSTEM SAFELY 1. Introduction Any tool, if used improperly, can be dangerous. Safety is ultimately the responsibility of those using the tool. In like manner, safe operation of polyester processes is the responsibility of those who use such processes and those who operate the equipment.
Page 8 CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual Extinguishing Media – Foam, Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Water Fog. Copies of the above bulletins are available, at a nominal charge from: National Fire Protection Association 470 Atlantic Avenue Boston, MA 02210 Research Report No.11 of the American Insurance Association deal with “Fire, Explosion and Health Hazards of Organic Peroxides”.
Page 9 CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual 2.2 Catalyst (Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide) MEKP is among the more hazardous materials found in commercial channels. The safe handling of the “unstable (reactive)” chemicals presents a definite challenge to the plastics industry. The highly reactive property which makes MEKP valuable to the plastics industry in producing the curing reaction of polyester resins also produces the hazards which require great care and caution in its storage, transportation, handling, processing and disposal.
Page 10 CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual E. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Protective equipment should be worn at all times. During clean-up of spilled MEKP, personal safety equipment, gloves and eye protection must be worn. Fire fighting equipment should be at hand and ready. F.
Page 11 CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual A. The reaction is unpredictable. Prior use of an HHC solvent without incident (corrosion or explosion) does NOT mean that such use is safe. These solvents can be dangerous alone (as a clean-up or flushing agent) or when used as a component or a coating material. There is no known inhibitor that is effective under all circumstances.
Page 12 CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual 2.4 Catalyst Diluents Magnum Venus Plastech spray-up and gel-coat systems currently produced are designed so that catalyst diluents are not required. Magnum Venus Plastech, therefore, recommends that diluents not be used. This avoids the possible contamination which could lead to an explosion due to the handling and mixing of MEKP and diluents.
Page 13 CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual 2.8 Treatment of Chemical Injuries Great care should be used in handling the chemicals (resins, catalyst and solvents) used in polyester systems. Such chemicals should be treated as if they hurt your skin and eyes and as if they are poison to your body.
Page 14 CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual 3.0 Equipment Safety WARNING Magnum Venus Plastech suggest that personal safety equipment such as EYE GOGGLES, GLOVES, EAR PROTECTION, and RESPIRATORS be worn when servicing or operating this equipment. Ear protection should be worn when operating a fiberglass chopper to protect against hearing loss since noise levels can be as high as 116 dB (decibels).
Page 15 CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual 3.2 Grounding Grounding an object means providing an adequate path for the flow of the electrical charge from the object to the ground. An adequate path is one that permits a charge to flow from the object fast enough that it will not accumulate to the extent that a spark can be formed.
Page 16: Introduction
The CFH-4000-AI Clean Flow Heater – Air Interlock is unique in that it is an on demand type heater and uses electrical power only when there is flow. The heater is controlled by triggering the gun, the system regulator supplies pressure to the gun valve which in turn activates the heater when the trigger is pulled.

Page 23 CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual CFH-4000-AI Air Interlock units: 7. Air Switch: Disconnect wires and check microswitch to ensure continuity through normally closed contacts when air supply is off. If there is no continuity, inspect air actuator to insure it is disengaging. If air actuator disengages properly, switch is faulty and must be replaced.
