SWITCHING TYPE/BRAND OF CLEANING CHEMICALS
Before changing to a different type or brand of cleaning chemical (acid or detergent) it
is necessary to rinse the plumbing circuitry of the machine. Install the new chemical(s)
per the installation instructions and then prime the detergent and acid pumps. Then a
wash cycle can be programmed and run which uses several rinses with water only. This
will prevent any cross contamination of chemicals.

815 LX / UTILIZATION
CHAPTER 1 BEFORE YOU START 14
After the new cleaning chemical have been installed, it will be necessary to adjust the
chemical dosing times in all applicable steps of the wash cycle in order to match the
formulation of the new cleaning chemicals.
Please contact LANCER for advice or assistance.
WHEN TO CHANGE THE CHEMICAL CONTAINERS ?
For a washer equipped with level detection devices :
This message is displayed when the chemical bottles are almost empty.
WARNING
L A C K O F C H E M I C .
It is necessary to fill or change the detergent or acid containers to continue the cycle.
For a washer not equipped with level detection devices :
The washing cycle can continue in when the chemical bottles are empty. It is therefore
necessary to visually check the detergent and acid containers for proper level of the
associated chemicals regularly.
HOW TO CHANGE THE CHEMICAL CONTAINERS ?
Press button to switch off the washer.
Use the necessary protection for the chemical to be changed (gloves, mask, safety
glasses…) .
Locate the container(s) that need to be changed.
Unscrew the cap(s) from the empty chemical bottle(s) and take out the chemical suction
tube(s).
Unscrew the cap(s) from the full chemical bottle(s) and insert the chemical suction
tube(s). Tighten the cap(s) to secure the chemical suction tube in place if necessary.

5. THE BASKETS
SOME EXAMPLES
In order to wash items in "TE" or
"TH" type baskets, place the baskets
on the "PS" (basic rack) or "PSB"
(basic rack with spray arm) after
removing one or more "GS" (support
grilles). Check that the basket is
correctly fitted on the rods of the rack
designed for that purpose. Reinstall
the grilles for any washing operation
that does not require the use of "TE"
or "TH" type baskets.
Note : The "PS" should only be positioned at the bottom level of the washer chamber
where washing action is provided by the lower spray arm. The "PSB" can be positioned
on any level.

815 LX / UTILIZATION
CHAPTER 1 BEFORE YOU START 16
It is extremely important that the
items to be washed are prevented
from moving in order to obtain
correct cleaning and to avoid
breakage of fragile items. Items that
can be easily moved or knocked over
when loaded on the "PS" or "PSB"
rack should be secured in place. The
"GC" hold down screen should be
used for "PS"or "PSB" racks. The
"GCI" hold down screen should be
used for injector racks.
In the case of washing items with small diameter openings such as volumetric flasks, it
is very important that the flow rate of the injectors used must be lower than the flow
capacity of the flasks to be washed in order to avoid a gradual filling of the flasks during
the washing cycle. If the diameter of the opening is too small to allow the water to
escape from around the injector the mechanical action of the injector can be absorbed by
the water contained in the glassware giving poor cleaning results. It is imperative to use
baskets with injectors of proper diameter and, above all, to secure lightweight items with
a "GC" or "GCI" hold down screen.

815 LX / UTILIZATION
CHAPTER 1 BEFORE YOU START 17
In order to wash items on a
"PL" type basket (for cleaning
slides), place the baskets on the
"PS" (basic rack) or "PSB"
(basic rack with spray arm)
after removing one or more
"GS" (support grilles). Check
that the basket is correctly
fitted on the rods of the rack
designed for that purpose.
Reinstall the grilles for any
washing operation that does
not require the use of "PL"
type baskets.
You should only use baskets that are suitable for the parts to be washed. When your
washer is put into service, our technicians will give you useful advice on the best way to
load the racks relative to the items to be washed.
Please feel free to contact LANCER for advice or assistance.
When several racks are used simultaneously on the different levels, only one rack should
be pulled out of chamber on the door and the runners at a time.
The maximal load on the slide rails is 26 Kg.
IF THE LOADINGS TO BE HANDLED ARE SUPERIOR TO 25
KG THERE IS PLACE TO USE A HANDLING SYSTEM.
