 CAUTION
This equipment can cause serious bodily injury. Severe damage could occur to the equip-
ment, surrounding property and automobiles. Before operating this equipment read the In-
stallation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions.

1. Do not operate fan without scrubber recirculation system on.

2. Do not operate fan or scrubber when spray nozzles are plugged.

3. Do not operate fan if scrubber recirculation liquor is concentrated. Proper fresh water make-
up and blowdown rates must be maintained.

4. Spray pattern should be adjusted so spray does not hit scrubber side wall.

5. Do not cover plating tanks when heat is on or until tank solution is ambient temperature.

6. If fan and scrubber have been shut down for any period of time, scrubber recirculation system
should be run while fan is off to clean scrubber internals.

7. If unit is equipped with a sump heater and freezing conditions exist, recirculation pump and
heater should be in operation during periods of shut down unless scrubber sump is complete-
ly drained.

8. Improper pH setting could cause severe damage (see section on pH control ).

9. Velocity/CFM - make sure exhaust fan is exhausting proper CFM. Higher CFM than design
could cause excessive misting at the scrubber outlet.

Any of the above could result in corrosive fumes passing through the scrubber and imping-
ing on the scrubber packing and mist eliminator. Corrosive condensate in the duct and ex-
haust stack could be discharged from the stack. Any apparent malfunction of the fume
scrubber should be reported to MAPCO for repair or service instructions.
