Risks Analysis

The manufacturer has dedicated great attention to the protection and safety of the users and of the
environment. However, there are some general risks to be aware of:
• Risk working with a high pressure gas when refilling the cylinder with SOLSTICE
nitrogen (to raise the internal pressure of the cylinder to 8 bar).
Typically, the cylinders containing nitrogen are filled to an overpressure of 150 to 200 bar, so
they must be equipped with a cylinder pressure regulator on the outlet, adjusted to the
maximum outlet pressure of 8 bar.
It is prohibited to fill nitrogen into the cylinder with SOLSTICE
cylinder pressure regulator adjusted to the given pressure. RISK OF SERIOUS INJURIES!
Please refer to your local supplier in case you need to rebuild the nitrogen pressure in your
cylinder of solvent.
• The EkoFlush unit works with pressurized liquid and gas. Handling of connecting hoses without
observing instructions and general safety principles can result in quick pressure increase and
sudden solvent release, therefore, be extremely careful and use protective goggles and gloves.
At the beginning and at the end of the flushing operations, always ensure that the valves on the
hoses and on the solvent cylinder are closed and that hoses are correctly and tightly connected
before opening them.
Always check that the valves on the cylinder are closed before removing the connecting hoses
Please slowly unscrew the hoses when removing them, in order to release any internal pressure.
