Safety
Always wear the required Personal Protective Equipment (including gloves and goggles that must be worn when
potentially exposed to any hazardous materials and when carrying out hazardous work tasks). Turn the
dispenser off during cleaning and note that parts may be contaminated with product. If possible, flush tubing out
with water prior to carrying out any maintenance. For information on products that are used in this dispenser,
please carefully read the product label and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
Installation Standards
Ensure that the unit is always installed in accordance with the Diversey “General Standards of Installation” guide
(Ref. JDE1537) and meets local regulatory requirements.
Any specific installation recommendations relating to this unit are explained in this Installation and Setup Guide.

Installation
Open the QFM by inserting the “C”- shaped steel clip into the front cover then lift cover upward. The cover will
only come away completely from the backplate when it is pulled up by an angle of 45°. (Fig 1.1)

Remove cover and then the wishbone from backplate towers. (Fig 1.2).
Fig 1.2
Press the clip on the backplate inwards to release the proportioner from the backplate. Lift the proportioner out of
the mounting plate, and remove it from the enclosure (Fig 1.3).
Position the QFM vertically on the wall and drill three holes for either the horizontal mounting slots or the
keyholes. Use the horizontal mounting slots for hard-plumbed installations as they allow the unit to slide 25mm
from side to side when connecting or disconnecting from the water fitting. Use the keyholes when using a flexible
water supply line. (Fig 1.4)
Fig 1.4
Connect water supply. If necessary, swap the water inlet from the right side to the left as follows:
NOTE: Water supply should have an isolating valve in close proximity to the unit.

Pull outward the blue plastic retaining clips on the far left and far right (Fig 1.5).
NOTE: The clips do not require to be fully pulled out.They are designed to be permanently connected to the
valve to avoid misplacement.

Pull water inlet fitting out of the right side and the plug from the left side, reinserting them in the opposite ends.
(Fig 1.6)

Push in the blue plastic retaining clips. (Fig 1.6)
CAUTION: This must be performed BEFORE the water pressure is switched back on
for full strength to be achieved
.

CAUTION: When attaching the pick-up tube, a longer tube may be required than
supplied. If a longer tube is required ensure that the inside diameter is no smaller
than 6mm and should ideally be 10mm, especially if the product is viscous. A
6/10mm adapter is available from JDE for this purpose.
NOTE: It is extremely unlikely that you will have to disconnect the chemical
lines, as the unit can be serviced with the lines connected.
Place the ceramic weight over the end of the chemical pick-up tube and then insert the footvalve. It is important
to add the footvalve, because without it the tube will lose prime when the system is not in use. This will result in
weaker solutions than those specified in the next table.
Turn on the water supply to the unit.
Insert the A-D metering peg in as shown, with the “A” facing down (Fig 1.9). Hold down the wishbone long
enough to fill the pickup tube with chemical.

Setup
Select the metering peg that offers the desired dilution, using the following chart for reference. Place the letter
that is the desired setting at the bottom, where the index pin holds the metering peg in place.
Actual ratios and flow rates will vary depending on water pressure, chemical viscosity, the length of the pickup
line, the height of the unit from the floor and the level of product in the drum.
After selecting the peg setting, calibrate the dilution ratio to be sure it meets your requirements.

Calibrate the dilution ratio as follows:
Fill a measuring/graduated cylinder with chemical.
Note the amount of chemical that is in the cylinder.
Place the foot valve fully in the chemical
Turn on the proportioner, filling a measuring container jug (high flow) or a 16-oz/500 ml measuring cup (low
flow).
Carefully withdraw the foot valve from the chemical and note the amount remaining. Subtract it from the initial
amount to calculate the amount used.
Subtract the amount of chemical used from the amount of solution collected in the measuring/graduated cylinder
to calculate the amount of water passed.
Note the amount of water : chemical to calculate dilution and the equivalent dilution as a percentage of
chemical. If necessary, repeat with different peg setting for required dilution.
Replace the cover, starting with the top sloping backwards so the plastic tabs that connect it to the backplate are
not damaged.
