Lyman offers two different cleaning solutions:
TURBO®SONIC CONCENTRATED
CARTRIDGE CASE CLEANING
SOLUTION
• Can be used to clean brass, copper, bronze
and stainless steel.
• Not recommended for use on aluminum or
steel.
• Parts to be cleaned should not have excessive
oil – remove bulk oil before cleaning in this
solution.
•The Lyman Turbo Sonic will hold up to 250
308 Win. cases or 900 9mm cases. However,
for best cleaning action, avoid multiple layers
– keep as much space between cartridges
as possible.
• For best results when cleaning cartridge cases, remove the
basket from the unit and load the shells into the basket.
Lower the basket into the solution and shake the basket
slightly to help dislodge any bubbles that might be present
inside the cases.
• Not recommended for cleaning silver, sterling silver or silver
plating.
• Will effectively clean gold jewelry, but avoid immersion of
gemstones in the solution as they may be damaged by the
solution or sonic energy or both.
• 3 •

• When starting with a new batch of cases and new cleaning
solution, preheat the solution and run the ultrasonic’s for 5
minutes to “degas” the solution. Dissolved gas in the solution
can diminish the ultrasonic energy. Once degassed, it is not
necessary to degas again until the solution is changed.
• Discard the solution when it becomes highly discolored or
murky. Rinse the unit with clean water before recharging.
• Do not mix with other cleaners or chemicals.
TURBO®SONIC CONCENTRATED
STEEL & GUN PARTS
CLEANING SOLUTION
• Can be used to clean steel, stainless steel
and anodized aluminum gun parts. Do not use
on non-anodized (bare) aluminum or other
non-ferrous metals.
• When cleaning aluminum, keep the use of the
sonics to the minimum time needed. The part(s)
can be allowed to soak (no sonics) to help in
decreasing the time required for sonic cleaning.
Aluminum can be damaged by excessive sonic
energy.
•Designed to clean oil/grease and carbon
buildup.
• Not recommended for cleaning silver, sterling
silver or silver plating.
• Avoid cleaning jewelry, particularly gemstones
in this cleaning solution.
•Will provide limited corrosion protection – after cleaning, do
not rinse the part(s). The part(s) should be properly drained
and allowed to air dry. Not meant as a long term inhibitor –
part(s) should be oiled for long term corrosion protection.
•When starting with a new batch of cases and new cleaning
solution, preheat the solution and run the ultrasonic’s for 5
minutes to “degas” the solution. Dissolved gas in the solution
can diminish the ultrasonic energy. Once degassed, it is not
necessary to degas again until the solution is changed.

• A short 90 second (1 minute 30 seconds) cleaning cycle at
the end of the menu will appear, this option may be used as
a rinsing cycle with plain water and the heat setting to remove
any leftover cleaning solution or if the desired cleaning result
has not been achieved and a full 180 second(3 minutes) is
not needed.
• Using the “Heater” function; Pressing the TC button on the
unit turns on built in heating unit. The red LED will illuminate
on the left side of the display. The water will heat to 65
degrees Celsius (approximately 150 degrees Fahrenheit) in

(paper towel, shop rag).
• Parts should be rinsed in clean water before continuing. A
bucket with clean water may be used to dunk basket and
