4-1. With the unit correctly connected to the water source and the Valves are closed, visually
check the piping connections for leaks.
4-2. Open/close half of the Valve(B) several times to release the air in pipe. Do not directly look into
the Eyewash Flow Head.
Foreign matters may suddenly jump out with released air and may injure your eyes.
4-3. Open the Valve (B) to the full open position and check the flow streams from Flow Head
rise to approximately equal heights. And close when finished. (refer to 3-2 1), 2))
4-4. Open Valve (A) to full open position. And the check the water flow from Shower Head is enough
spread over the body. And closed when finished. (refer to 3-1 1), 2))

5. MAINTENANCE AND TRAINING

5-1. Activate Emergency Shower & Eyewash weekly to verify proper operation and record the test results.
