Operations
Installation
Before You Begin
To prepare to install the machine, choose an unob-
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 your machine is equipped with the
optional power brush and hand detail brush you must
also run a compressed air line to the installation site.
If you have any questions regarding the installation,
please contact your dealer 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 electricalspecifications tag to
determine the electrical power requirements before
installing the machine.
Step 2: Configure The 24-hour, 7-day
Timers
NOTE: This step is required for machines equipped
with an optional 24-hour, 7-day heater timer or a 24-
hour, 7-day heater and oil skimmer timer. If your
machine does not have a 24-hour, 7-day timer, skip
this step.
The optional 24-hour, 7-day heater timer controls the
heating system. The optional 24-hour, 7-day heater and
oil skimmer timer controls the heating system and the
oil skimmer.
The parts washer requires approximately 1 to 2 hours
to heat the wash solution to operating temperature, and
the oil skimmer requires 10 to 15 minutes to effectively
remove oil from the wash solution. Using either timer,
you can schedule the heating system to turn on several
hours before you begin to use the machine each day. In
addition, the optional 24- hour, 7-day heater and oil
skimmer timer allows you to schedule the oil skimmer
to operate while the machine sits idle.
The timer is located below the electrical panel inside
the main electrical enclosure. To configure the timer,
refer to the instruction label inside the timer door.
Step 3: Connect A Compressed-
Air Line And Accessories
NOTE: This step is required for machines equipped
with the Deluxe Kit option package. If your machine is
not equipped with the Deluxe Kit option package, skip
the following procedure.
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.
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.
4. Connect the hose from the power brush to the air
flow valve.
5. Hang the power brush on the bracket mounted
along the right side of the machine.

Step 4: Connect A Water Line
NOTE: This step is required for machines equipped
with the optional automatic water fill feature. If your
machine does not have this option, skip this step.
The optional automatic water fill feature automatically
maintains the correct water level in the sump. The
feature requires that you connect the machine to a
dedicated water supply line.
To connect the machine to a water supply line, attach a
suitable burst-proof hose to the hose connection on the
rear of the machine below the oil skimmer assembly,
then connect the hose to a nearby water spigot.
NOTE: The machine is designed for portability, and
some maintenance tasks require that you move the
machine. DO NOT make a permanent connection
from your shop water supply to the machine.
Step 5: Fill The Machine With Water And
Add Detergent
1. Fill the sump with water. If your machine is
equipped with the automatic water fill feature,
simply open the water inlet valve; if not, add water
through the wash chamber. The sump capacity is
50 gallons.
2. When the sump is full and the low water light has
gone out, shut off the water. If your machine is
equipped with the automatic water fill feature 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.
3. 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.
NOTE: To avoid waiting for the sump water to heat to
operating temperature every day, manufacturer
recommends a 24-hour, 7-day heater timer. With a
24-hour, 7-day timer you can set the heating system
to turn on several hours before you begin to use the
machine each day. For more information about 24-
hour, 7-day timers refer to 24-hour, 7-day Timers.
4. 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 andthen 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.
5. Close and latch the door.
6. 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.

7. (If Optional Deluxe Kit Installed):
After the machine stops, remove the right sump
cover and transfer approximately two gallons of
wash solution into the detail sump using a small
submersible pump or a suitable container.
WARNING: Hot cleaning solution could cause
serious injury. Always wear rubber gloves and
approved eye protection when handling hot

components before operating the machine.
Control Panel
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 (SeeAdjusting the Thermo-
stat). The 3-phase units have an adjustable
temperature knob - check temperature setting prior to
use.
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.
Skimmer Control
The skimmer control is a 30-minute timer switch. It
controls the automatic oil skimmer.
Turntable Switch
The turntable switch is a simple rocker switch that
enables you to disconnect power tothe turntable motor.
Set to ON, the turntable rotates during the wash cycle.
Set to OFF, the turntable does not rotate during the
wash cycle. The switch is useful for washing large parts
that would otherwise impede turntable rotation.
Low Water Indicator
The low water indicator light illuminates if the wash
solution in the sump is low. For more information refer
to Low Water Shut-off.
24-hour, 7-day Timers
Models 2840 and 2848 machines are available with a
24-hour, 7-day heater timer or a 24-hour, 7-day heater
and oil skimmer timer. The heater timer controls the
heating system. The heater and oil skimmer timer
controls the heating system and the oil skimmer.
Thermostat
The thermostat is located inside the heating element
and thermostat enclosure. Single phase thermostats
have an adjustment screw that is accessible only from
inside the enclosure. Three phase thermostats have an
adjustment knob mounted on the outside of the enclo-
sure.
The thermostat is factory-set to heat the wash solution
to a maximum temperature of 180°F.

Operations
Door Safety Switch
The door closure safety switch is located on the rear of
the machine, to the right of the main electrical panel.
The switch is activated with a push-rod that extends
through the wash chamber.
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 Safety Switch
1. Disconnect power to the machine.
2. Remove the two screws from the rear of the safety
switch cover, and pull the cover free of the switch
assembly.
3. Loosen the adjustment nuts on both sides of the
switch bracket.
4. Adjust the switch accordingly.
5. Tighten the adjustment nuts.
6. 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
safeguardagainst small partsthatmightaccidentallybe
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 in
place could cause spray nozzles to clog or the water
pump to fail.
Air Flow Valve (Optional)
The air flow valve is located on the right rear corner of
the machine. It is a three-way ball valve that controls
the flow of compressed air to the power brush and the
hand detail brush.

NOTE: The detail brush is a standard component on
the Deluxe Kit version of the models 2840, and 2848.
It is available as an option on the base models. To
order a Deluxe Kit option package, contact your
dealer or call customer service.
Oil Skimmer
The oil skimmer is located on the right rear corner of
the machine. It automatically removes oil from the wash
solution to prolong its useful life. Refer to Using the Oil
Skimmer for detailed operating instructions.
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 optional automatic water fill system automatically
maintains a proper water level in the sump.
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 figure below describes the
operation of the automatic water fill system.
Low Water Shut-off
The low water shut-off system shuts down the machine
if the wash solution in the sump chamber drops below a
safe level. The system uses two proximity switches and
a float rod mounted near the rear of the sump chamber
to monitor the water level.
If the wash solution drops below the lower proximity
switch, the low water indicator light on the control panel
turns on and the system disconnects power to
machine. To reset the system, add water to the sump
until the low water indicator light turns off.

lower low water proximity switch.
Filtration and Sump Sweep Systems
(Optional)
The optional filtration and sump sweep systems reduce
or eliminate the need to manually clean out the sump.
The filtration system continuously filters solid particles
from the wash solution, and you can use the sump
sweep system to periodically remove waste build up
from the bottom of the sump chamber.
Filtration System (Optional)
The filtration system uses a filter canister with a nylon
or polyester felt filter bag to continuously filter solid
particles from the wash solution. The filter system
includes pressure gauges which allow you to monitor
the condition and performance of the filter bag inside
the canister. Under typical operating conditions, the
inlet and outlet pressure gauges read approximately 45
psi. As the filter bag becomes soiled, the outlet
pressure decreases. If the difference between the inlet
and outlet pressure is 15 psi or greater, stop the
machine and clean or replace the filter bag (See
Cleaning the Filters).
WARNING: Operating the machine with a clogged
filter system could damage the filter bag. STOP
THE MACHINE IMMEDIATELY if the difference
between the inlet and outlet pressure is 15 psi or
greater.

Operations
Sump Sweep System (Optional)
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 Cleaning out the Sump).
Detergents And Additives
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 cleanliness and run skimmer
as-needed to clean sump water surface;
• heat the water to operating temperature;
• add detergent if necessary (see Detergents);
• 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 du déchargement de la
machine.
1. Load parts into the machine.
Load large, heavy parts directly onto the turntable.
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 adequateflow
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.
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.
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.
