1.2 – PRECAUTIONS
READ THROUGH THE "OPERATIONS MANUAL" COMPLETELY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THE MACHINE.
CLEANOUT, POT LID, INLET CAP AND HOSES MUST BE IN PLACE AND
TIGHTLY SECURED BEFORE OPERATION IN THE DISCHARGE MODE.
TANK DISCHARGE PRESSURE MUST NOT EXCEED 10 PSI.
REGULATOR AND RELIEF VALVES ARE SET BEFORE SHIPMENT AND
SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED AS THE USE OF EXCESSIVE PRESSURE
COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE. OPERATING
DISCHARGE PRESSURE IS 6 PSI.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN POT LID, CLEANOUT OR BLEED-OFF CAP
BEFORE RELIEVING PRESSURE IN THE TANK.
BLOCK WHEELS OF THE MACHINE TO PREVENT UNINTENTIONAL
MOVEMENT.

3.3 – INITIAL STARTUP
1. BEFORE USING THE SUMP CLEANER TO SERVICE SUMPS, RUN THE
UNIT IN BOTH “SUCTION” AND “DISCHARGE” MODES.
3.3.1 – SELECTOR VALVE
1. SETTING SELECTOR VALVE TO VENT TANK.
2. SETTING SELECTOR VALVE TO SUCTION.

13
SP50 OPERATIONS MANUAL & PARTS LIST (Rev. 3/2021)
3. SETTING SELECTOR VALVE TO DISCHARGE.
3.3.2 – SECURE TANK PORTS
1. CLOSE AND SECURE ALL PORTS INCLUDING THE POT LID, CLEANOUT
DOOR, INTAKE CAP, AND DISCHARGE.
3.3.3 – STARTING ENGINE
1. TURN SELECTOR VALVE TO “VENT” POSITION.
2. OPEN LP TANK VALVE.
3. SET THROTTLE TO HALF AND CHOKE TO FULL

14
SP50 OPERATIONS MANUAL & PARTS LIST (Rev. 3/2021)
4. OPEN THE GAS VALVE LOCATED ON THE ENGINE.
5. START ENGINE USING KEY IN IGNITION.

15
SP50 OPERATIONS MANUAL & PARTS LIST (Rev. 3/2021)
6. ONCE THE ENGINE IS STARTED AND RUNNING, REMOVE THE CHOKE.
3.3.4 – RUN UNIT IN “SUCTION”
1. TURN THE SELECTOR VALVE TO “VENT”.
2. CONNECT SUMP CLEANER HOSE TO INTAKE PIPE.
3. CLOSE DISCHARGE VALVE.
4. TURN THE SELECTOR VALVE TO “SUCTION”. VACUUM READING ON
GAUGE LOCATED ON THE CONTROL PANEL WILL DECREASE AND
STABILIZE AT 13 inHg.
5. TURN THE SELECTOR VALVE TO “VENT” POSITION. PRESSURE WILL
DECREASE TO 0 inHg.

16
SP50 OPERATIONS MANUAL & PARTS LIST (Rev. 3/2021)
3.3.5 – RUN UNIT IN DISCHARGE
1. TURN THE SELECTOR VALVE TO “VENT”.
2. CONNECT SUMP CLEANER HOSE TO DISCHARGE PIPE.
3. INSTALL CAP TO INTAKE PIPE.
4. TURN THE SELECTOR VALVE TO “DISCHARGE”. VACUUM READING ON
GAUGE LOCATED ON THE CONTROL PANEL WILL INCREASE AND
STABILIZE AT 6 PSI.
3.3.6 – SHUTTING ENGINE OFF
1. TURN FUEL VALVE TO FULLY CLOSED POSITION, ALOWING ENGINE TO
RUN OUT OF FUEL.
2. TURN KEY TO OFF POSITION. (NOTE: SWITCHING KEY TO OFF POSITION
PRIOR TO ALLOWING ENGINE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL MAY CAUSE
ENGINE BACKFIRE ON RESTART.)

17
SP50 OPERATIONS MANUAL & PARTS LIST (Rev. 3/2021)
SECTION 4 – OPERATION
4.1 – CLEANING A SUMP
1. ATTACH THE SUMP CLEANER HOSE TO THE SUCTION PORT, AND INSERT
SUCTION TOOL INTO HOSE END.
2. RUN UNIT ON SUCTION MODE. (SEE INITIAL STARTUP 3.3.4.)
3. WHEN VACUUMING OUT THE SUMP, ATTACK THE SOLIDS FIRST.
POSITION THE SUCTION TOOL IN THE AREAS THAT ARE PRIMARILY
SOLIDS. OCCASIONALLY MOVE THE SUCTION TOOL FROM THE SOLID
PARTICULATE IN THE SUMP BOTTOM TO A PRIMARILY FLUIDIC AREA.
THIS ACTION WILL CLEAR THE HOSE OF SOLIDS REDUCING THE
CHANCES OF POSSIBLY PLUGGING THE HOSE.
4. WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, THE FLOAT CONTROL (LOCATED INSIDE THE
SUMP CLEANER) WILL CUT OFF SUCTION TO THE PUMP ISOLATING THE
PUMP FROM THE TANK (PUMP WILL KEEP RUNNING). WHEN THIS
HAPPENS, THE VACUUM READING WILL FALL TO ZERO INDICATING THE
TANK NEEDS TO BE EMPTIED.
5. WHEN THE FILTER IS FULL OR BLINDED, THE VACUUM/PRESSURE
GAUGE WILL READ 10”+HG, BUT THERE WILL BE NO SUCTION AT THE
NOZZLE INDICATING THE FILTER NEEDS TO BE EMPTIED.

18
SP50 OPERATIONS MANUAL & PARTS LIST (Rev. 3/2021)
4.2 – DISCHARGING FLUID FROM THE SUMP CLEANER
1. ATTACH THE SUMP CLEANER HOSE TO THE DISCHARGE PORT, AND CAP
THE SUCTION PORT.
2. RUN UNIT ON DISCHARGE MODE. (SEE INITIAL STARTUP 3.5, STEP 6.)
3. POINT NOZZLE AT THE TARGET WHERE THE FLUID IS TO BE DISPENSED,
SLOWLY OPEN DISCHARGE VALVE. SLUGS OF AIR WILL PASS THROUGH
HOSE WHEN TANK APPROACHES EMPTY. THESE SLUGS CAN CAUSE
ERRATIC FLUID FLOWS, BE PREPARED TO SHUT OF DISCHARGE VALVE
WHEN THIS OCCURS.
4.3 – FILTER
1. FILTERING OF THE FLUID IS SPECIFIC TO YOU. SUMP CONDITIONS VARY
DUE TO ALL THE VARIABLES THAT OCCUR IN A MACHINE-TOOL SUMP.
WE INCLUDE MULTIPLE FILTER BAGS SO YOU CAN FIND WHAT WORKS
BEST FOR YOUR APPLICATION. FIRST-CLEANING CAN BE ESPECIALLY
DIFFICULT IF IT HAS NOT BEEN DONE ON A REGULAR BASIS. WE
SUGGEST STARTING WITH A COARSER BAG. ONCE ON A ROUTINE
BASIS, A FINER FILTER CAN BE USED.
2. FILTERS ARE REUSABLE AND WASHABLE IN LUKEWARM WATER.

19
SP50 OPERATIONS MANUAL & PARTS LIST (Rev. 3/2021)
4.3.2 – F50 FILTER
4.3.2.1 – EMPTYING FILTER
1. FOR BEST RESULTS, DISCHARGE LIQUID FROM SUMP CLEANER AND LET
FILTER DRAIN FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE DUMPING.
2. LOOSEN THE FOUR WING NUTS ON FILTER ASSEMBLY.
3. LIFT FILTER OUT OF SUMP CLEANER TANK USING HOIST OR FORKLIFT.
CAUTION: KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS CLEAR OF POT OPENING IN SUMP
CLEANER WHEN REMOVING FILTER!

20
SP50 OPERATIONS MANUAL & PARTS LIST (Rev. 3/2021)
4. POSITION FILTER ABOVE CONTAINER INTO WHICH THE SLUDGE IS TO BE
EMPTIED. DISTANCE BETWEEN BOTTOM OF FILTER AND CONTAINER
BOTTOM OR “D” DIMENSION, SHOWN IN FIGURE BELOW, AND SHOULD
BE APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 3 FEET ON F50 TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO
FILTER SLEEVE WHEN DUMPED. DRAINING FILTER BEFORE
POSITIONING AND USING A CONTAINER WITH A DRY BOTTOM AND
SUITABLE CAPACITY WILL HELP REDUCE POSSIBLE FILTER SPLASH
BACK.
