2. Proper use and foreseeable misuse__________________
The IBS-Parts Cleaner Type BK 50 has been designed for cleaning oily and greasy metal parts (e.g.
machine parts, motors and housings) using IBS-Special Cleaners.
2.1. Approved Solvents
Solvents used with this machine must not contain halogenated hydrocarbons and must meet
the following requirements:
Device Type BK 50: IBS Special Cleaner Type EL/Extra
IBS Special Cleaner Type RF
IBS Special Cleaner Type Purgasol
NOTICE Please pay attention to the solvent´s corresponding product information (EC Safety
Data Sheet), before using solvents by other manufacturers. Prove in particular the
compliance of the respective exposure limit value.
Please take advice from IBS Scherer GmbH. Please also note additionally the notes
under 2.2!
The extended warranty of 3 applies only if IBS Special Cleaners are used.
2.2. Non-Approved Solvents
The use of highly inflammable and inflammable liquids inside this machine is prohibited.
The introduction of liquids with a flash point < 55°C, such as motor gasoline, is
prohibited.
DANGER
Please observe any relevant local and national legal requirements concerning the use of solvents for
parts cleaning.

Operating Instructions IBS-Parts Cleaner Type BK 50 (IW/V4.0/10-2012/EN) Page 5
3. Function_______________________________________________
3.1. How the Machine Works
The self-priming pump transports the cleaning liquid throuh a hose to the hollow-cored cleaning
brush. The workpiece is placed onto the support grate and brushed off with cleaning liquid.
The dirty solvent drains from the support grate via basin and drain connection back into the
drum. By a process of chemical separation, the dirt and grease particles will sink to the bottom
of the drum. Once the cleaning effectiveness of the Special Cleaner is reduced, the 50l-solvent
drum needs to be replaced.
IBS Scherer will take back used drums containing waste solvent and recycle the liquid providing
the customer has not introduced other (chemical) materials.

4. Transport _____________________________________________
4.1. Handling
•Carefully transport the unit to the customer’s setup location to prevent any damage to the
unit.
•Secure the unit to the pallet to prevent it from sliding.
NOTICE If the drum is removed, one person can transport the unit to it´s setup location.
•When transporting the drum, please follow the safety instructions on the solvent’s data
sheet.
4.2. Transport Aids
4.2.1. Transport using a crane
•Attach crane cables to the pallet and carefully raise the unit Pay special attention to the
unit’s center of gravity. The unit may tip over!
NOTICE The crane must have a carrying capacity of at least 200 kg.
4.2.2. Transport using a forklift
•Guide the forklift between the longitudinal braces of the wooden base of the pallet.
•Lift the unit and transport it.
5. Setup / Startup________________________________________
5.1. Securing the Unit / Stability
The unit must be placed in a level and stable location on a solvent-resistant floor .
5.2. Space Required
The unit may be placed in front of a wall. There should be approx. 1.5 metres of free space in
front of the unit.
5.3. Acceptable Ambient Conditions
The unit will work optimally at temperatures between +10° and +30°C.
5.4. Connection Conditions
A professional electrician must perform the installation of electrical supplies for the

(technical data) in the instruction manual.

Operating Instructions IBS-Parts Cleaner Type BK 50 (IW/V4.0/10-2012/EN) Page 7
5.4.1 Prevention of electrostatic charge
5.4.1.1. Self-priming pump
The discharge of the IBS Special Pump´s electrostatic charge will be transmitted by protective
conductor of the self-priming pump (socket)
5.4.1.2. Parts Cleaning Device
The Parts Cleaning Device must be connected to an
equipotential bonding by the customer (which is
connected with the grounding of the building)
(please see picture on the right). This should be done
by a skilled electrician.
5.5. Components / Add-Ons
5.5.1. IBS catch basins Type WK-50 (optional)
The prototype-tested catch basins prevent the solvent from penetrating the floor in case of
spilling or leakage.
5.6. Waste Disposal
•The unit is constructed primarily of steel (except for the electrical components) and should
be disposed of in accordance with applicable local environmental regulations.
•Contaminated parts (e.g. hoses, cleaning brushes, cleaning cloths etc.) should be disposed
of in accordance with applicable environmental regulations.
•Please contact IBS Scherer GmbH if you have any queries regarding disposal.
•IBS Scherer will take back used drums containing waste solvent and recycle the liquid
providing the customer has not introduced other (chemical) materials.
•If you decide to use solvents by other manufacturers, it is crucial that you follow the safety
instructions provided by the manufacturer.
5.7. Operator Precautionary Measures
A 5-metre radius around the unit must be declared as danger zone.
The resulting danger zone:
•has to be marked as a fire hazard area because the solvents are inflammable,
•has to be kept free from any objects to allow for unhindered access to the unit at any time,
•and must have an effective means of natural ventilation.
•Smoking is prohibited in the danger zone. Avoid open flames or other sources of
ignition.
•Keep everything as clean as possible when working with solvents, oils and
lubricants.
