A. Introduction
Congratulations, on your selection of the EMC  POWERJET as your
choice of Automatic Parts Washer. You will find it to be a versatile and
reliable labor-saving unit.
B. Description
The EMC  POWERJET is an aqueous-based Automatic Parts Washer.
It is intended for washing various parts and materials, large and small, using a
Heated Water and Soap Solution, at approximately ±160ºF to ±180ºF
depending on the Temperature recommended by your Soap supplier.
C. Receiving & Handling
Immediately upon receipt at your facility, First, Inspect the package for any
damage that may have occurred during shipment. If any is found, make note
with the Truck Driver making the Delivery, or Call the Freight Carrier.
Prior to the installation and operation of the POWERJET , Remove the
strapping and plastic wrap. Do not remove the POWERJET from the pallet
until Ready to Install the unit. If there is any damage, the following policy and
procedures apply:
D. Damaged Merchandise & Freight Claims
When the product is shipped from EMC, it is new, undamaged and in
operable condition. Once it has left the EMC facility, the responsibility for its
safe delivery is transferred to the carrier when the carrier signs the shipping
papers. When the carrier delivers the product to the customer’s dock, it is the
responsibility of the customer receiving the shipped goods to make a visual
inspection of the items they are receiving. If there is obvious physical damage
to the equipment, the customer is responsible for noting the damage on the
shipping papers. If the item is received and there are no visible signs of
damage, but when the item is opened, damage is found, the customer is
responsible for immediately contacting the Freight Company and submitting a
“Concealed Damage” claim. Normally the party who pays the freight files
the claim. The FOB point does not alter the freight claim responsibility.
EMC will not receive any merchandise back from a customer without a
Return Authorization.
All shipments to EMC must be sent Freight PREPAID by sender.
EMC will Not accept any Collect shipments.
I. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Remove ALL shipment bands and plastic wrap !
The POWERJET unit MUST be removed from Shipping Pallet !
Set-Up POWERJET with ALL 4 Legs and Foot Pads DIRECTLY
ON SOLID LEVEL FLOOR !
A. LOCATION & SET-UP :
Position your EMC POWERJET Automatic Parts Washer cabinet
on level floor. The foot pads at bottom of washer legs are designed
only for leveling or bolting the unit to the floor. Use bolt and large
washers as shims under foot pads to level the legs. The Foot Pads
are Not suitable for and should Not be used for mounting to
wheels or casters.
Adjust so the Washer cabinet sits level and square, side to side.
This will allow the door to seal properly around the door frame.
The Cabinet VENT is located on the top right rear of washer. This
vent is designed to accommodate expanding air and water vapor,
when the washer pump is first turned on. Some additional vent
stack may or may not be necessary, according to your preference
and location of washer. Since some water vapor (with soap
residue) may be emitted from this vent from time to time, and will
deposit back down on the washer, or other equipment in the area,
walls, personnel, etc., …you may want to run some additional
venting to the outdoors (straight up thru the roof works best), OR,
if you prefer, up and over, then down to a container where the
water can drip into.
! IMPORTANT !
Upper vent sections must be lapped so condensation funnels
inward, into the lower vent sections, just the opposite of a Gas
Burner exhaust stack.
Otherwise, the water runs down the outside of the stack and
under the washer’s insulation jacket, eventually dripping from
bottom of the washer. This is often mis-diagnosed as a leak.

II. UTILITIES INSTALLATION
Find your Washer’s ID Plate located on the upper left side of the
washer cabinet, above and to the rear of the Control Box.
Check your power source, for a properly fused power supply
as to Voltage, Phase, Cycles and Amps, as called for on your
Washer ID Plate !
Remember:
As shipped from the EMC Factory, ALL 220Volt & 440Volt
units are Wired for 3 PHASE operation ONLY !
But,
ONLY the 220Volt unit can be Converted to Single-Phase,
very simply at your hook-up and installation.
Requires a Single-Phase pump Motor (standard on most units).
See the Single-Phase Conversion & Wire Diagram on page 15.
1. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
To be performed by Qualified Personnel !
WARNING! DISCONNECT and LOCK-OUT POWER
PRIOR TO PROCEEDING !
NOTE: Make sure all washer control knobs are in the "OFF" position
before connecting washer to utilities.
A. THREE PHASE LINE HOOK-UP:
1. Locate the Heater Contactor inside the Main Control Box at the
lower left. (see Wiring Diagrams pages 12 thru 19)
2. LINE HOOK-UP is to the Three Terminals on the LEFT side of the
Heater Contactor.
ATTENTION !
Here you will find 3 short Test Lead wires or “Pig Tails”
used at the Factory for Testing purposes.
These “Pig Tails” also mark the Three Terminals to
connect your power source to.
You Must Remove the “Pig Tails” before connecting
your power source.
Do NOT connect your power source to these “Pig Tails”.
Do NOT use “Wire Nuts”.
3. Connect to properly fused 220Volt, 60 Hz, 3-Phase (3)power
source as called for on the Washer ID plate.
OR
Connect to a properly fused 440Volt, 60 Hz, 3-Phase (3)power
source as called for on the Washer ID plate.
IMPORTANT ! Check that Rotation direction of Pump Motor is
Clock-Wise, as viewed from top of Motor! (440Volt units and
ALL 3 PHASE pump MOTORS)
4. GROUND Hookup is to the chassis of the washer.
! IMPORTANT !
The chassis of this washer MUST be Properly Grounded !
B. THREE PHASE HEATER HOOKUP:
These Washers have 3 or more Immersion Heaters. Each Heater draws
approximately 18 amps each. The Heating Element wires entering the
bottom of the main Control Box are colored to represent one Heater per pair
of wires with the same color.
Remember:
As shipped from the EMC Factory, ALL 220Volt & 440Volt units are
Wired for 3 PHASE operation ONLY !
But,
ONLY the 220Volt unit can be Converted to Single-Phase,
very simply at your hook-up and installation.
Requires a Single-Phase pump Motor (standard on most units).
See the Single-Phase Conversion & Wire Diagram on page 15.
To be performed by Qualified Personnel !
WARNING! DISCONNECT and LOCK-OUT POWER

1. The HEATER CONTACTOR is located inside the Main Control Box at
the lower left.
2. All 3 terminals on the right side of the Heater Contactor are used.
3. Two Heater Wires of different color connect to each right side terminal.
4. Two Heater Wires of the same color must NEVER go into the same
terminal.
2. GAS CONNECTION:
To be performed by Qualified Personnel !
