This guide contains instructions for installing, programming, and troubleshooting
the AutoDose™ Dispensing System. Throughout the guide, the following icons are
used to indicate the model(s) to which each step pertains.
AutoDose™ Automatic Dispensing System
The AutoDoseTM is a battery or A/C-powered peristaltic pumping dispenser that runs automatically at preset times as
programmed with an electronic timer / control. Product operates reliably and consistantly, even in demanding environments.
!
Please use this equipment carefully and
observe all warnings and cautions.
ALWAYS observe safety and handling instructions of
the chemical manufacturers.
ALWAYS direct discharge away from you or other
persons or into approved containers.
ALWAYS dispense cleaners and chemicals in accordance
with manufacturer’s instructions. Exercise CAUTION
when maintaining your equipment.
KEEP equipment clean for proper operation.
WEAR protective clothing and eyewear when working
in the vicinity of all chemicals, filling or emptying
equipment, or changing tubes.
ALWAYS re-assemble equipment according to
instruction procedures. Be sure all components are
firmly screwed or latched into position. Ensure that
hoses and electrical wires are properly placed and not
kinked or pinched.
ONLY USE ALKALINE BATTERIES.
Tube life will vary depending on the type of treatment
product used. To prevent emergency service, schedule
replacement at least once per year.
NOTE: The batteries should be scheduled for periodic
replacement. Using a total of 40 running (pumping)
hours, create a schedule for servicing the unit and
changing the batteries. Maintaining the power source
as such will help to provide the proper dosing by
providing a more consistent pumping rate.

STEP : Install the Batteries
1A
1170 1180
a. Loosen the battery door screw.
b. Open the battery compartment.
c. Place eight, fresh alkaline D-cell batteries into the holder as shown in the battery
compartment—and in the diagram on right.
Battery life is typically 40 running hours. A “low battery” indicator will alert you to a low voltage
condition indicating battery change. Program settings will be maintained if dispenser is
disconnected from power source.
STEP : Mount the Dispenser
1B
For Models 1180 and 1190, you’ll need to mount the dispenser before attaching the power
cord (if supplied).
a. Choose a location near the pipe or grease trap into which it will be dosing. In kitchens, the
unit may be mounted beneath the dish machine work tables or on the wall.
b. Use the mounting bracket to mark the appropriate locations for the mounting hardware.
c. Drill the holes accordingly and insert the anchors (if necessary) and screws provided.
d. Affix the mounting bracket to the wall.
e. Mount the dispenser onto the mounting bracket.
f. Secure the dispenser with the remaining screw provided.

Installation
For certain models, either batteries or a 12v DC adapter may be used.
For the model 1190, use only the adapter specified from the manufacturer to ensure proper
operation.
NOTE: Usage of AC adapter must conform to local laws and codes.
a. Locate the jack on the side of the unit.
b. Install the adapter plug into the jack.
c. Plug the adapter into the wall receptacle.
 CAUTION/CUIDADO:
Wires left hanging loose may be a tripping hazard, or may accidentally cause the adapter
to become unplugged.
STEP : Determine Appropriate Dispenser Location
2
For Model 1170, choose a location away from traffic. Bumping the dispenser may knock it over if the pail is
almost empty.
For Models 1180 and 1190, please refer to step 1B on page 2 for guidelines on determining the appropriate
dispenser location.

STEP : Install the Inlet and Discharge Tubing
3
a. From the tubing supplied, cut a section long enough to reach from the pump
inlet (left side port) to the bottom of the pail to be used. Slide the ceramic
weight onto the end and insert the strainer into the end of the tube.
b. Route the tube properly and insert into the inlet compression fitting.
c. Hand tighten the nut to secure.
d. Connect remaining tubing to the exit side port and tighten.
e. Route and secure the tubing with cable ties provided so that the product is
dispensed directly into the intended drain to be treated.
f. If connecting to an existing facility drain piping, drill and tap the drain pipe or
trap cover for the 1/8” NPT injection fitting supplied. When the product should
be dispensed into a trap, but the trap is inaccessible, feed the tubing down the
inlet pipe to the trap. In these cases, the fitting can be drilled through to allow
the tubing to pass into the pipe. Wrap the injection fitting once with sealing
tape or thread compound and screw in the injection fitting. Tighten to provide a
positive seal.
NOTE: Be sure the tubing will be out of the way of traffic and will not impede motion
required in the area. Creating a low place in the run of tubing near the fitting will minimize
drainage from the tubing.
STEP : Prepare/Prime the Dispenser for Use
4
1170
a. Open the container of treatment product.
b. Drop the strainer end of the inlet tube into the container.
c. Place the dispenser on the container (for Model 1170).
d. Prime the pump: Press ENTER to wake the display and push and
hold the Prime button until product is evident at exit to drain.
e. Review the program and adjust if necessary.

Maintenence: Changing the Pump Tubing
NOTE: You may want to work over old newspapers or other discardable material to
protect floors or other areas from the possibility of spilled treatments.
Remove the Old Tubing
a. Loosen and remove tubing from compression fittings.
b. Loosen screw on pump cover and remove.
c. Lay aside the supply and discharge tubing.
d. Remove the old squeeze tube assembly from pump housing and discard it.
NOTE: If drain treatment leaks on pump housing, it can be washed in soapy water. If
the rotor assembly has been wetted, wipe it with a dry cloth. It is not necessary to
wipe the grease from the pump housing if the grease is clean.
Inspect the Pump
a. While the pump is disassembled, inspect all parts for foreign matter.
b. Clean the parts as necessary.
c. Check the rollers to ensure they turn freely.
d. Inspect the rotor.
CAUTION/CUIDADO:
If the rotor needs service, replace the entire rotor.
Install the New Tubing
a. Replace the rotor and put a small amount of tube lubricant on each end of the
rotor assembly shaft (bearings).
b. Position the pump inlet port as shown.
c. Bend the new tube in half and insert without twisting the tube and place the outlet
port fitting in as shown.
d. Replace the rotor over the motor (blade) shaft and use a screwdriver to twist the
rotor as it is inserted.
e. Replace cover and tighten screw.
f. Reattach the inlet and exit port tubing.
g. Prime the product to ensure the fittings are tight and unit is ready for operation.
NOTE: A small amount of tube lubricant in each channel will make this process easier.
CAUTION/CUIDADO:
Be sure the tube is not twisted during installation. Twisting the tube will greatly
reduce tube life.
