Overview

The SS3 footwear sanitizer is a compact, low cost way to quickly and efficiently apply sanitizer to the bottom of footwear in an easy to use, walk through model. Designed for dry facility environments, the  SS3 increases pathogen prevention while maintaining minimal moisture output.

Using only compressed air the SS3 applies 0.2 ounces of sanitizer to the bottom of each boot,simultaneously, via 8 misting nozzles (4 per boot). The misting output reduces over-spray while still providing adequate solution coverage to the entire sole, preventing cross contamination between high risk environments and control zones.

Installation

Installing Handrail

Due to the shipment size, the SS3 will arrive with the handrails disconnected.

1. Place handrails through the mounting holes on each side of the unit [Figure 5.1].
2. Using a 1/2″ wrench or socket, secure the handrails in place using the included 5/8″ bolts, with lock washers, to the bottom bracket of the each handrail [Figure 5.2].

4. Repeat for opposing handrail (8 bolts total).

Installation (continued)

Installing and Mounting the Unit

1. Set unit in desired location.
2. Aspects to consider when deciding on placement:
   • Clearance for entering and exiting.
   • Traffic flow for unit operation.
   • Emergency exit paths or egress in case of emergency.
   • Head room for personnel while using the unit.
   • Flat and/or level floor surface
3. Using a level and 3/4″ wrench, stabilize the unit and level in all directions by adjusting the feet and lock nuts as necessary [Figure 6.1].
4. Using the 4 mounting brackets located at each corner, securely fasten the unit to the floor with appropriate hardware for the given material (i.e. concrete anchors, bolts, etc.) [Figure 6.2].
   • WARNING
   • If not properly secured to floor the unit may tip over and has the potential to cause personal injury                                                                                                                                                                   Fig. 6.3: Solution and air line quick fit connections
5. Using 1/4″ industrial quick-disconnect, connect compressed air supply to the air regulator on the side of the unit (80 PSI recommended) [Figure 6.3].
6. Using the included suction line or similar 3/8″ OD tubing, connect solution to the unit via the 3/8″ quick connect fitting on the inlet port of the filter.

Installation (continued )

Installing & Removing Base Plate

1. To remove the base plate, pull back on the plastic latch to free the plate [Figure 7.1].
2. 3. The base plate can be hinged open if desired as shown in [Figure 7.2].
3. Base plate can be removed entirely for COP processes or sprayed down in position.
4. To re-inset, orient as shown [Figure 7.1] and slide past plastic latches until locked into position.

Removing Plumbing Assembly

1. Hinge open or remove the base plate as previously described.
2. Hinge open each mesh plate.
3. Disconnect the air and solution lines from their quick connect bulk-head fittings.
4. Pull up on the handle to remove the entire plumbing assembly [Figure 7.3]. Fig. 7.2: Hinged open foot plate

WARNING

Shut off air supply and exhaust air and solution lines prior to disconnecting.

Operation

Priming

When first connected (either from initial set-up, after maintenance, or replacement of solution) the unit must be primed for proper activation to occur. Ensure handrails and base plate are secured and the system itself properly installed.

WARNING

This unit is for use with fully protective footwear only. Do not activate the unit if a user’s feet are not positioned above nozzle system.

1. Enter the unit from either opening.
2. Step up onto the unit while gripping the handrails.
3. Position feet within base plate outlines, centering each foot above its nozzle system [Figure 8.1].
   • NOTE : Unit will not operate with only one foot in place. Both feet must be on the unit, in position, for sanitizer activation.
4. Step down, with both feet – the unit will activate as compressed air is engaged and the suction line will begin to draw solution.
5. Repeatedly lift one, or both feet, to cycle the unit multiple times until primed.
6. Once primed, the unit will mist solution evenly between both nozzle manifold assemblies and is ready for normal use.

General Use

Before operating the unit, ensure solid footing and use both hands on the handrails for support.

1. Enter the unit from either opening.
2. Step up onto the unit while gripping the handrails.
3. Position feet within base plate outlines, centering each foot above its nozzle system [Figure 9.1].
4. When both feet have stepped onto the base, the unit will activate.
5. Step down to exit the unit.
6. System is immediately recharged upon exit and is ready for the next user.

Cleaning and Wash-Down

1.  Slide out catch pan from either opening to remove [Figure 9.2].
2. Empty/dispose of accumulated solution and/or debris as necessary.
3. Remove the base plate and plumbing assembly from the unit (if desired).
4. Base plate can be washed individually, in a COP tank, or wash machine.
5. The frame can be washed down by conventional means.
   • NOTE : Consult materials of construction (page 2) for appropriate cleaning solution compatibility
6. Replace plumbing assembly, catch pan, and base plate before resuming normal operation.

Maintenance

The following maintenance procedures are recommended for normal use. Units which see a high amount of daily use should be inspected more frequently as necessary.

WARNING

Shut off air supply and exhaust air and solution lines prior to maintenance procedures. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when operating or servicing unit.

Daily:

• Check catch pan for solution or debris accumulation and empty as necessary.
• Inspect plastic base plate and stainless steel mesh plates for soil or solution accumulation and clean as necessary.
• Check solution level to ensure unit remains primed.

Weekly :

• Inspect solution and air lines for leaks.
• Verify nozzles assembly is free of debris and/or clogs. Rinse with low pressure water to clean.
• Check solution line for debris build-up on strainer/filter (if used). Clean or replace as necessary.
• Ensure solid handrails and mounting to floor.
• Check air pressure is set to 80 PSI.

Monthly :

• Check all fasteners to ensure they are tight.
• Check misting nozzles for clogs or irregularities.
• Ensure warning labels and decals are present and in good condition

Quarterly:

• Inspect structure for cracked welds or bent/ damaged components.
• Check plumbing assembly for tight connections.
• Inspect plumbing fittings for cracked or damaged connections.
• Inspect filter and replace if over 6 months old or if misting quality/amount has declined.

Recommended Spare Parts:
