Standard Safety Features
The SJ-15 uses electricity to operate. This can be fatal
if not handled properly. For this reason, the
SJ-15 has been designed with safety in mind. The
following are standard safety features you will find.
1. One Hour Wash Timer and Indicator Light
This switch insures that the parts washer will turn
off the pump at a specific elapsed time.
2. Low Water Float Switch and Indicator Light
This float switch insures that there is water
covering the heating element. Before the water
level drops and begins to expose the heating
element, the low water float switch turns off the
heaters and wash pump and turns on an indicator
light.
3. 7-Day Programmable Heater Timer
The timer conserves energy by turning heating
elements on and off at operator set times.
4. Temperature Control
The high temperature control monitors the internal
temperature of the parts washer and maintains
water temperature at prescribed set point.
