Meech has designed the IonWash to provide the following user advantages:
cleaning cycle. This means the operator cannot remove the parts before the end of the cycle, ensuring cleaning
consistent end product.

Correct use of an IonWash System
If the IonWash is used in any other way than instructed in this manual, it will be considered as improper use.

The IonWash is delivered in a crate on a strong pallet style base, this base should be used to move the IonWash
CAUTION: Connect to each liing point individually and li evenly on all points. If lied incorrectly damage can be
caused to the IonWash.

The IonWash™ is designed for use with a range of supply voltages
run with a neutral supply to ensure that the blowers do not fail beyond repair. If a neutral supply is not available
will result in the pumps failing beyond repair.

IonWash™ Voltage Setup Checks
CAUTION: Dangerous voltages exist in the IonWash. Ensure mains supply is isolated before opening the unit and
that all covers are reed before operang
the IonWash™ supplied matches the supply voltage.
1. The correct corresponding wiring diagram is included inside the electrical door of the IonWash™ and states
CAUTION
1. The unit is designed for 3 Phase + neutral + ground. Variable voltage between 200V and 400V (440V =
absolute maximum including voltage uctuaons).
2. At voltages, higher than 235V 3Phase (Phase – Phase) the unit MUST be internally wired using the star
connecon, and a Neutral supply MUST be connected to the IonWash™. Failure to do so will damage the
pumps beyond repair and will invalidate warranty.
3. At voltages below 235V, neutral is oponal provided the internal delta connecon is used.
4. The mains power must not be turned on more frequently than once a minute, as this will damage the internal
blowers beyond repair. When interlocking with the line, the unit must not be interlocked by supplying power
to the IonWash™

How to relocate or remove the nozzles
The nozzles should be located as requested at the point of order. However, if for any reason they need to be moved
Note: this should only be done by a trained engineer or under supervision from a Meech Engineer or Distributor.

Once the nozzles are located where they are required to clean the components they can then be bent to provide
how far they are able to bend.
CAUTION: If the nozzles are moved and bent too far they can be damaged
