Operations
Installation
Before You Begin
To p r e p a r e t o ins t a l l t h e m a c h i n e , c h o o s e an un o b -
structed, level site that allows convenient access for
operators and maintenance personnel. Sources for
water and electrical power should be located near the
installation site.
If you have any questions regarding the installation,
please contact your distributor or call a customer
service representative. When contacting customer
service please refer to the machine identification tag
inside the front cover of this manual for detailed
machine specifications.
Step 1: Make Electrical Connections
NOTE: All electrical installation tasks must be
performed by a licensed, professional electrician
to ensure safe and proper operation. The
installation must comply with the National Electric
Code and all applicable state and local codes.
The machine can only operate on the type of elec-
trical power indicated on the electrical specifica-
tions tag. Read and understand the electrical
specifications tag to determine the electrical power
requirements before installing the machine.
Step 2: Connect A Compressed-Air Line
And Accessories
This step is required for machines equipped with the
optional power brush and hand detail brush. If your
machine does not have these options, skip the
following procedure.
NOTE: To ensure proper operation and to minimize
the possibility of premature component failure, make
sure the compressed air is supplied at 75 to 90 psi.
Manufacturer also recommends an in-line moisture
trap and an in-line lubricator on the main air supply
line. Refer to the documentation provided with the
power brush for more information.
1. Remove the power brush from the box, install the
wire brush in the chuck, and connect the air hose.
2. Familiarize yourself with the three-way air flow
valve, then install a fitting to accommodate a
connection to your compressed-air supply.
3. Connect the shop compressed-air line to the
machine.
4. Connect the hose from the power brush to the air
flow valve.
5. Hang the power brush on the bracket mounted on
the right side of the machine.
Step 3: Connect A Water Line
This step is required for machines equipped with the
optional automatic water fill system. If your machine
does not have this option, skip this step.

Operations
The optional automatic water fill system automatically
maintains the correct water level in the sump. The
system requires that you connect the machine to a
dedicated water supply line.
To connect the machine to a water supply line, install a
1/2” NPT (male) by 5/8” (female) connection to the
automatic water fill solenoid assembly, then connect to
a nearby water spigot using a suitable burst proof hose.
Step 4: Fill The Machine With Water And
Add Detergent
1. Familiarize yourself with sump cover.
2. Fill the sump with water. If your machine is
equipped with the automatic water fill system,
simply open the water inlet valve; if not, add water
through the wash chamber. The sump capacity is
160 gallons.
3. When the water level indicator indicates that the
sump is full, shut off the water. If your machine is
equipped with the automatic water fill system the
water will shut off automatically when the sump is
full.
NOTE: Monitor the water level carefully – do not
overfill the machine. If you overfill the machine,
remove excess water using a small submersible
pump or a suitable container. The correct water level
is two inches from the top of the sump tank when the
pump is off.
4. Turn the heater timer to the 2-hour position. The
sump water will reach operating temperature (160–
180°F) in approximately one to two hours.
5. While the sump water is heating, add the appro-
priate quantity of factory approved detergent to the
wash chamber. We recommend mixing the
detergent with warm water in a separate bucket/
container and then pouring the dissolved detergent
into the sump.
NOTE: Factory approved detergent is the only
detergent approved for use with this automatic parts
washer. It is specially formulated with rust inhibitors
and anti-foaming agents to optimize performance and
minimize maintenance. The use of any other
detergent during the warranty period will void the
warranty. In addition, using factory detergents will
extend your 90 day labor warranty to 1 year. Vapor
corrosion inhibitor is also sold separately to control
rust due to condensation, which can occur under
some usage and environmental conditions.
6. Close and latch the door.
7. Turn the wash cycle timer to 2 hours for the first
time and allow the machine to complete the cycle
to thoroughly dissolve the detergent into the water.
When the machine stops, and after the wash water
reaches operating temperature, it is ready for use.

Operations
Operation
Main Operating Components
Familiarize yourself with the main operating compo-
nents before operating the machine.
Control Panel
Wash Cycle Control
The wash cycle control is a 60-minute timer switch with
a hold feature. When set between 1 and 60 minutes,
the timer automatically shuts off the pump and turntable
when the wash cycle is complete. When set to Hold,
the pump and turntable run continuously until manually
shut off.
Heater Control
The heater control is a 12-hour timer switch. It controls
the heating element in the sump chamber. The heating
system is thermostatically set at the factory to reach a
high temperature of 180°F. The temperature is adjust-
able using the thermostat (See Adjusting the Thermo-
stat). The 3-phase units have an adjustable
temperature knob-check temperature setting prior to
use.
Skimmer Control
The skimmer control is a 30-minute timer switch. It
controls the automatic oil skimmer. (See Using the Oil
Skimmer section for details on use).
Turntable Jog Button
The turntable jog button enables you to manually rotate
the turntable with the door open. This feature is useful
for loading and unloading the machine; instead of
reaching to the rear of the wash chamber while loading
and unloading, you can rotate the turntable to easily
add or remove parts.
Low Water Indicator
The low water indicator light illuminates if the wash
solution in the sump is low. For more information see
Low Water Shut-off.
Thermostat
The thermostat is located on the right side of the
heating element and thermostat enclosure. The ther-
mostat is factory-set to heat the wash solution to a
maximum temperature of 180°F.
Adjusting the Thermostat
To adjust the thermostat, rotate the control knob
clockwise to increase the temperature, or counterclock-
wise to decrease the temperature.

Operations
Door Safety Switch
The door safety switch is located on the front of
the machine, just above the latch side of door.
The switch is activated with a safety switch. The switch
disconnects power to the water pump and turntable
motor if the wash chamber door is opened during a
wash cycle. The water pump and turntable motor will
not operate if the door is not closed and latched
correctly.
Adjusting the door Safety Switch
1. Disconnect power to the machine.
2. Loosen the adjustment nuts on both sides of the
switch bracket.
3. Adjust the switch accordingly.
4. Tighten the adjustment nuts.
5. Replace the cover.
When properly adjusted, you should hear a slight “click”
as the door latch engages and compresses the door
seal and the door closure safety switch.
Debris Screen
The debris screen is located just below the wash
chamber, and is accessible from the front of the
machine. The debris screen continuously filters debris
particles from the cleaning solution to ensure blockage-
free spray nozzle operation, and also provides a
safeguard against small parts that might accidentally be
washed through from the cleaning chamber.
The frequency at which you must clean the debris
screen depends on machine usage. In general, you
should clean the screen before operating the machine
each day.
NOTE: Never operate the machine without the debris
screen in place, and never remove the screen while
the machine is operating. The screen is specially
sized to filter particles that could clog the spray
nozzles or damage the water pump.
Operating the machine without the debris screen could
cause spray nozzle clogging or water pump failure.

Using the Power Brush
WARNING: Particles dislodged by the power brush
could cause serious injury to your eyes. Always
wear approved eye protection when using the
power brush. With stiff stainless steel bristles
turning at 1800 RPM, the power brush easily
removes carbon deposits, old gasket material, or
other tightly-adhered materials from parts before
washing.
AVERTISSEMENT: Les particules délogées par la
brosse motorisée pourraient causer des blessures
graves aux yeux. Toujours porter une protection
oculaire approuvée lors de l'utilisation de la brosse
motorisée. Avec des poils durs en acier inoxydable
tournant à 1800 tr/min, la brosse motorisée déloge
facilement les dépôts de carbone, le vieux joint
d'étanchéité ou toute autre substance adhérant
solidement des pièces avant de les laver.
To t u r n o n t h e po wer br u s h , p o s it ion t h e a i r f l ow va lv e
appropriately, then push the power brush lever lock
forward with your thumb and squeeze the throttle lever
to control the speed of the brush.
Using the Oil Skimmer System
The oil skimmer system is most effective if used when
the cleaning solution in the sump is cool. The frequency
at which you must remove the oil from the wash
solution will depend on machine usage. Under typical
operating conditions you may need to remove the oil
every day. If the oil skimmer runs longer than 10-15
minutes, the detergent and vapor rust inhibitor content
in the sump should be checked. The detergent and
inhibitor can be removed with extensive use of the
skimmer, so be certain to check chemical levels after
running the skimmer to determine if you require a
higher frequency chemical maintenance cycle than
weekly.
IMPORTANT: The skimmer motor is equipped with a
thermal overload switch which protects the skimmer
from overheating. If you attempt to use the oil skimmer
system when the wash solution is hot, the thermal
overload will probably trip and the motor will shut off
until it cools. Under normal skimming conditions (when
the wash solution is cool) the thermal overload should
not trip.
To remove oil from the cleaning solution, perform the
following procedure:
1. Allow the machine to sit idle for at least 30 minutes
to allow the oil to float to the surface of the wash
solution.
2. Ensure that the oil collection container is in place,
then turn the skimmer switch to the “ON” position.
3. Allow the oil skimmer to operate until it is no longer
extracting oil from the cleaning solution.
Tip: While extracting oil from the cleaning solution, oil
will flow off the wiper blades in a fine continuous
stream. Water will flow off the blades in droplets. Once
droplets begin to flow off the wiper blades, stop the
skimmer motor.
4. Dispose of the oil in the collection container in
accordance with local and state regulations, then
replace the container.

Operations
Detail Brush and Flow Regulator
(Optional)
The detail brush is located on the right inside wall of the
detail tray. The flow regulator is located on the right rear
corner of the machine. The detail brush uses a contin-
uous flow of hot cleaning solution through its nylon
bristles to help you clean delicate or lightly soiled parts.
The flow regulator controls the flow of cleaning solution
through the detail brush.
WARNING: Hot, high-pressure cleaning solution
could cause serious injury. Always wear rubber
gloves and approved eye protection when handling
hot cleaning solution.
AVERTISSEMENT: Une solution de nettoyage chaude
haute pression pourrait causer des blessures graves.
Toujours porter des gants en caoutchouc et une
protection oculaire approuvée lors du chargement et
du déchargement de la machine.

Operations
Adjusting the Flow of Cleaning Solution
The flow of cleaning solution through the detail brush is
pre-set at the factory. If you need to adjust the flow, pull
out the flow regulator knob, then rotate it clockwise to
decrease the flow or counter-clockwise to increase the
flow. After adjusting, push the knob back in to lock it.
Water Level
Under typical operating conditions the machine loses 3-
5 gallons of water per day to evaporation.
It is important that you monitor and maintain the water
level daily to minimize the risk of burning out the
heating element or ruining the pump.
NOTE: Water evaporates from the sump chamber,
but the detergent does not. It is not necessary to add
detergent each time you add water. Only add
detergent after you clean the sump chamber each
month, or if you notice specific low-detergent
indicators (See Detergent Concentration).

Water Level
Under typical operating conditions the machine loses 3
to 5 gallons of water per day to evaporation. It is
important that you monitor and maintain the water level
daily to minimize the risk of burning out the heating
element or ruining the pump.
NOTE: Add detergent each time you add water. Add
detergent after you clean the sump chamber each
month, and more frequently if your cleaning cycle
maintenance period is more frequent, and if you
notice specific low-detergent indicators (See
Detergents and Additives).
Automatic Water Fill (Optional)
The automatic water fill system automatically maintains
a proper water level in the sump. It is available as an
option on this machine.
The automatic water fill system uses the low water
shut-off proximity switches to open and close a water
solenoid valve, which automatically maintains a proper
water level in the sump. The figures above demonstrate
the operation of the automatic water fill system.
Filtration And Sump Sweep Systems
(Optional)
The filtration and sump sweep systems are options on
this machine. The filtration and sump sweep systems
reduce the need to manually clean out the sump. The
filtration system continuously filters solid particles from
the wash solution, and then you can use the sump
sweep system to periodically remove waste build up
from the bottom of the sump chamber.
Filtration System
The filtration system uses a single or multiple-canister
configuration with nylon or polyester felt filter bags to
continuously filter solid particles from the wash
solution. The filter system includes pressure gauges
which allow you to monitor the condition and perfor-
mance of the filter bag(s) inside the canister(s). Under
typical operating conditions, the inlet and outlet
pressure gauges read approximately 45 psi. As the
filter system becomes clogged, the outlet pressure
decreases.
When the outlet pressure drops to 30 psi or less, stop
the machine and clean or replace the filter bag(s) (See
Cleaning the Filters). Check filters daily.

Operations
WARNING: Operating the machine with a clogged
filter system could damage the filter bag. STOP
THE MACHINE IMMEDIATELY if the outlet pressure
drops to 30 psi or less.
AVERTISSEMENT: Utiliser la machine alors que le
système de filtration est obstrué risquerait d'endo
mager le sac du filtre. ARRÊTER IMMÉDIATEMENT
LA MACHINE si la pression de sortie chute en deçà
de 30 psi.
Sump Sweep System
The sump sweep system uses a three-way valve to
divert solution from the wash chamber to a spray bar on
bottom of the sump chamber. The spray bar generates
a high-pressure spray pattern that agitates the sump
solution and suspends solid particles. The solution then
flows through the filtration system which removes the
solid particles (See Filtration and Sump Sweep
System).
Detergent Concentration
Manufacturer's detergents are the only detergents
approved for use with our automatic parts washers.
They are specially formulated with rust inhibitors and
anti-foaming agents to optimize performance and
minimize maintenance. The use of any other detergent
during the warranty period will void the warranty.
To monitor the approximate concentration of detergent
in the wash solution, periodically examine the wash
solution in the sump chamber for the following indica-
tors:
•Rust inside the machine: not enough
detergent
•Excessive foaming: not enough detergent
•Thick, white residue on parts after washing:
too much detergent.
To maintain proper concentration under typical condi-
tions, add detergent each month after cleaning the
sump chamber. Follow recommended detergent quanti-
ties. Use a pH kit to determine the proper amount of
detergent to use. If you need help interpreting test
results, contact customer service.
Rust Inhibitor Additive
Factory detergents protect the entire inside of your
machine against the degenerative effects of water
evaporation. A rust inhibitor additive actually evapo-
rates with the water and continuously coats and
protects metal surfaces, even while your machine is
sitting idle. For more information, contact your distrib-
utor or call customer service.
Preparing The Machine For Use
Before you begin to wash parts, it is important that you
properly prepare the machine. Before you begin to use
the machine each day:
• Check the water level and add water to the
sump tank if necessary;
•Check sump water cleaniness and run skimmer
as-needed to clean sump water surface
• Heat the water to operating temperature
(recommend 160° to 180°F)
• Add detergent if necessary (see Detergent
Concentration);
•Verify that none of the spray nozzles are
clogged; and
•Clean the debris screen.

Washing Parts
The following procedure assumes that the heater is on
and the sump water is at operating temperature.
To wash parts, perform the following procedure.
WARNING: Hot, high-pressured cleaning solution
could cause serious injury. Always wear rubber
gloves and approved eye protection when loading
and unloading the machine.
AVERTISSEMENT: Une solution de nettoyage chaude
haute pression pourrait causer des blessures graves.
Toujours porter des gants en caoutchouc et une
protection oculaire approuvée lors du chargement et

1. Load parts into the machine.
Load large, heavy parts directly onto the turntable.
If a part extends beyond the edge of the turntable
and could impede turntable rotation, flip the
turntable switch OFF.
Secure large, light parts (valve covers for example)
to the turntable using suitable rubber tie-downs.
Load small, light parts into the small parts basket.
NOTE: For optimum cleaning performance, provide a
slight clearance between parts to allow adequate flow
of cleaning solution around and between them.
2. Close and latch the door.
3. Set the wash cycle timer to between 1 and 60
minutes for a timed wash cycle, or set it to Hold for
a continuous wash.
NOTE: If your machine is equipped with an optional
filtration system, monitor the outgoing pressure to
ensure that it does not drop below 30 psi. If the
pressure drops below 30 psi, immediately stop the
machine and either clean or replace the filter bag(s)
(See Cleaning the Filters).
4. When the machine automatically stops (or after
you manually stop the wash cycle), open the door
and wait a few moments to allow the parts to cool
and dry before removing them. Most parts will
flash-dry in seconds.
Shutting Down The Machine
