RYCO CLEAN KIT
1.INTRODUCTION
Contaminants that enter a hydraulic system such as dust, debris and dirt can cause system failure and, in some
cases, serious damage to its components. Fluid contamination is a critical factor inuencing the safety of hydraulic
systems and therefore, minimising the presence of any particles and impurities within the hydraulic hose
assembly, tubing and components is of paramount importance.
The RYCO CLEAN Kit is an easy to use, low-cost solution to eliminate hydraulic contamination from the inside of
hose, tube, and pipe. It is designed to clean the internal surfaces of hose, tube, and pipe eectively and eciently.
It comprises of a pneumatic Hand Launcher, an adaptor ring, and a range of specially designed nozzles to
accommodate dierent sizes of hose, tube, and pipe.
The optimum air input pressure range for the RYCO CLEAN Hand Launcher to operate eectively is between 87 psi
(6 bar) and 110 psi (7,5 bar).
2.SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read this manual carefully and understand the content before using the RYCO CLEAN Kit.
2. Keep this manual with the RYCO CLEAN Kit for future reference.
3. Always wear appropriate PPE in accordance with industry, job site and OHS requirements when using the
RYCO CLEAN Hand Launcher. RYCO recommends the wearing of suitable safety glasses, ear protection
and a face mask as minimum PPE requirements for operators and bystanders.
4. Refer to the Projectile Selection Chart to ensure you select the correct nozzle for your application.
5. Bleed the air pressure from the hose before connecting or disconnecting the Hand Launcher gun.
6. The discharging end of the hose, tube or pipe must always be pointed towards a catcher bucket or
cloth to avoid possible injury to personnel by the projectile exiting at high speed.
7. To achieve the desired level of cleanliness the process should be repeated until the projectile emerges
free of contamination. Do NOT reuse projectiles.
8. It must be ensured that the projectiles travel all the way through the hose, tube or pipe and do not get
stuck inside.
9. If any component within the kit does not operate to your required performance level or have been
damaged or worn discontinue use and contact your nearest RYCO representative for guidance.
10. Pressure range - do NOT exceed input pressure of 110 psi (7,5 bar). Compressed air is recommended as a
gas to power the RYCO CLEAN Hand Launcher. Do NOT use oxygen or other volatile gases.
11. If the instructions in this manual are unclear or if you require further technical advice or additional
information, contact your nearest RYCO representative.

3.COMPONENTS
3.1 RYCO CLEAN HAND LAUNCHER KIT
Part Number: RCPS-HLK
Complete Launcher Kit with 10 universal nozzles.
The Hand Launcher comes in a heavy-duty carrying case and consists of:
1 x Pneumatic Hand Launcher gun
1 x Adaptor ring
10 x Nozzles to suit a wide variety of hose, tube, and pipe sizes.
Features & Benefits:
• Light-weight ergonomic design
• Pneumatic pistol-grip Launcher
• Easy to use and operate
• Multiple nozzle sizes to suit a range of hoses, tubes, and pipes
• Heavy-duty carrying case for added protection
a) Pneumatic Hand Launcher Gun
The Hand Launcher gun uses standard industrial compressed air to propel
a foam projectile through the nozzle and into the hose, tube, or pipe to
be cleaned.
b) Adaptor Ring
The adaptor ring must be used for nozzle sizes 6mm (1/4”) to 32mm
(1.1/4”).
c) Nozzles
The nozzles are specially designed to establish an airtight seal on any
hose, tube, or pipe. The tapered shape of the nozzles will allow it to t into
the inside of the hose, tube or pipe easily and eectively. Its main purpose
is to compress the foam projectile allowing it to enter the internal
diameter of the hose, tube, or pipe to be cleaned.
There are ten multi-purpose nozzle sizes ranging from 6mm (1/4”) –
50mm (2”). Refer to Projectile and Nozzle Selection Chart (page 6) to
select the appropriate size.
For spare parts / individual components of the launcher kit, contact your
nearest RYCO representative.

3.2 RYCO CLEAN PROJECTILE STARTER KIT
Part Number: RCPK-0332
Multipurpose Projectile Starter Kit.
Projectile starter kit contains a selection of popular projectile sizes to suit
popular hose, tube and pipe sizes. They are sized to be approximately 15%
larger than the internal diameter of surface to be cleaned. The compression
of the projectiles against the internal wall cleans the internal surface and
expels any loose contaminants from the end of the hose, tube, or pipe.
It is recommended that projectiles are discarded when used once to achieve an
optimal cleanliness level.
Features & Benefits:
• Kit made up of pack quantities from each of the most common projectile sizes.
• Comes in UV-stable bags to avoid deterioration and discoloration of projectiles.
• Re-sealable bag to prevent contamination from getting in.
Projectiles range in size from 7mm – 60mm, refer to Projectile & Nozzle Selection Chart (page 6) to select the
appropriate size.
For other types of projectiles (e.g. abrasive), contact your nearest RYCO representative.

4.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: CONNECT TOCOMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY
Connect a suitable compressed air supply to the quick release nipple on the
RYCO hand launcher.
Notes:
1) The optimum air input pressure range for the RYCO CLEAN Kit Hand
Launcher to operate eectively is between 87 psi (6 bar) and 110 psi
(7,5 bar).
2) Air supply must be suitably de-humidied and uncontaminated.
STEP 2: INSTALL ADAPTOR RING & NOZZLE
Press the lever of the catch on the hand launcher to release the hinged retaining
ring and insert the nozzle to suit the ID of the hose, tube or pipe (adaptor ring
must be used for nozzle sizes 32 mm or less).
STEP 3: INSERT PROJECTILE
Refer to the Projectile Selection Chart and select the appropriate projectile to
suit the ID of the hose, tube or pipe and place it inside the nozzle.
STEP 4: LOCK FACEPLATE
Close hinged retaining ring, ensuring that the catch fully engages and locks it
in place.
STEP 5: PRESS TRIGGER TO FIRE PROJECTILE THROUGH HOSE
Place the nozzle rmly against the open end of the hose, tube or pipe to be
cleaned. Press the trigger and hold until the projectile is discharged from the
open end into the catcher bucket or cloth. Repeat until projectile emerges free
of contamination. Do NOT reuse projectiles.
Note: Always ensure that the projectiles travel all the way through the hose,
tube or pipe and do not get stuck inside. In the event of operating diculties,
refer to the troubleshooting guide enclosed or contact RYCO technical
department.

5. MAINTENANCE
Basic maintenance of your Hand Launcher and accessories will ensure smooth operation.
- Store Hand Launcher and nozzles in the heavy-duty case provided.
- Keep the projectiles away from direct sunlight to avoid deterioration and discoloration.
- Keep Hand Launcher and nozzles clean (lukewarm water and soap can be used for cleaning the
launcher and nozzles).
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
Issue: Projectile remains lodged in hose, tube, or pipe.
Possible Solution:
1. Operate launcher and shoot air from the other end without using a Projectile.
2. Check if the air pressure is adequate. The optimum air input pressure range for the RYCO CLEAN Kit
Hand Launcher to operate eectively is between 87 psi (6 bar) and 110 psi (7,5 bar). A larger diameter air
supply hose can be used if pressure is insucient (3/8” recommended).
3. Check for any contractions and expansions of the airline.
4. If the hose / tube has multiple exit points, close all exits except for the one the projectile is intended to exit.
Once the projectile is out of the hose / tube, check for any tears as this may indicate foreign obstructions or
deformities in the inside of the hose / tube.
Issue: Projectile will not shoot from the nozzle of the launcher.
Possible Solution:
1. Ensure that the hose / tube entry is not restricted.
2. Check if the air supply is connected and locked to the Hand Launcher properly.
3. Check if the air pressure is adequate. The optimum air input pressure range for the RYCO CLEAN Kit
Hand Launcher to operate eectively is between 87 psi (6 bar) and 110 psi (7,5 bar). A larger diameter air
supply hose can be used if pressure is insucient (3/8” recommended).
4. Ensure the correct nozzle and projectile are selected for the application as per the Projectile Selection Chart.
5. Repeat the process with a smaller projectile and matched nozzle (but suitably sized).
Issue: Diculty in inserting the nozzle into the retaining ring of the launcher.
Possible Solution:
1. Lubricate the O-ring on the retaining ring with suitable lubricant. Use lubricant sparingly.
