operating procedure (SOP) specific to each worksite to address any local hazards or other conditions
not outlined in this User Guide. The Maker™ hash washer must be inspected regularly for damage,
component failure, and wear. The results of the inspection activity should be documented.

Eteros Technologies makes every effort to ensure the Maker™ hash washer is compliant with all
current safety standards. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure all municipal, provincial, state,
county, territorial, federal codes, regulations, and standards have been met in each working location.
Do not lend or rent your machine without providing the User Guide. A first-time operator should
receive practical instruction before using the machine.

WARNING LABELS
Your safety and the safety of others are very important. We have provided important safety
messages in this manual and on the Triminator Maker™. This information alerts you to potential
hazards that could hurt you or others. Please read these messages carefully. Of course, it is not
practical or possible to warn you about all the hazards associated with operating or maintaining a
hash washer. You must use your own good judgment.
You will find important safety information in a variety of forms:
●Safety Labels - located on the hash washer.
●Instructions - how to use this hash washer correctly and safely.
●Safety Messages - preceded by a safety alert; a symbol and one of three signal words:
DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
DANGER:
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result
in serious injury and/or death. This signal word is to be
limited to the most extreme situations; typically for machine
components that, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, could result in serious injury and/or death. It includes
hazards that are exposed when guards are removed. It may
also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
CAUTION:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also
be used to alert against unsafe practices.

Damage Prevention Messages - You will also see other important messages that are preceded by

COMPONENTS

EMERGENCY STOP (E-Stop)
Pressing the emergency stop button will immediately shut down the machine, stopping the impeller
and water pump. When the emergency stop button is depressed, a visual cue will be displayed on the
HMI and the Maker™will not run.
NOTICE It is NOT recommended to use the emergency stop button to stop the machine in everyday
operation.
HMI CONTROL OVERVIEW
FORWARD
When selected, the unit will run in manual mode continuously at the set speed. Duration does not
apply when running in manual mode. Speed can be adjusted while running and will take effect
immediately. The FORWARD button will be highlighted in white with a red border when selected.

REVERSE
When selected, the unit will run in manual mode continuously at the set speed. Duration does not
apply when running in manual mode. Speed can be adjusted while running and will take effect
immediately. The REVERSE button will be highlighted in white with a red border when selected.
RUN CYCLE/AUTO
When RUN CYCLE is selected, the unit will run in auto mode. The cycle will alternate between forward
and reverse at the set speed and duration (seconds) for both directions. Pause time (seconds) and
duration (minutes) can be selected in the RUN CYCLE settings. Changes to duration and pause
changes will take effect on the following cycle of forward or reverse. Auto runtime cannot be adjusted
mid-cycle. The RUN CYCLE button will be highlighted in white with a red border and display AUTO
when selected.
STOP
The START/STOP button acts as a master switch, toggling the Maker™ between the stop/standby and
start/operational modes. Both modes allow for changes to the speed and duration settings. In
operational mode, the machine will run with all current settings. In standby mode, the machine will
turn off the motor. Toggling between standby and operational modes will not change individual motor
on/off or speed settings. Hitting STOP will also pause the WATER PUMP.
The STOP button will be illuminated red during operational mode and white during standby mode.
For normal day-to-day operations, the Maker™should be turned off using the STOP button instead of
the emergency stop.
WATER PUMP
Selecting the WATER PUMP button will energize the receptacle on the side of the control box. This
will cause the pump to run until the WATER PUMP button is pressed again or the STOP button is
pushed. The WATER PUMP button will be highlighted in white with a red border when selected.
NOTICE The power switch on the external water pump must be in the on position to run.

SAVE
This button can be used to save different preset recipes. Once selected there will be the ability to edit
all applicable settings (speed, duration, pause, and auto runtime). Once all settings are selected they
can be saved to memory (1-10) by selecting the desired location and a confirmation will be displayed
above the pause time. Close the window to proceed.

RECALL
This button can be used to retrieve saved recipes. Once selected there will be the ability to select the
desired memory slot (1-10) and a confirmation will be displayed above the pause time. Close the
window to proceed.
SOUND
An audible alert will sound once the auto cycle has completed. The silence button can be selected to
mute the alert.
INFO
When selected, a popup window will display a brief description of the settings/modes that can be
viewed.

SYSTEM USAGE
When selected, the HMI will display system usage information including run time. If is selected, it
will display the diagnostics screen. To return to the main menu, press .
WASHING VESSEL TILT
The pin can be turned to disengage the spring and allow the tank to turn freely. During normal use,
only the pin on the controller side (right) should be used to adjust the position of the washing vessel.
NOTICE Ensure pins are engaged during transport and operation.
CONTROLLER SIDE (Right)
Can lock the pin at 0, 45, and 90 degrees.

NON-CONTROLLER SIDE (Left)
Free spin (to tilt backward or more than 90 degrees).

DRAIN VALVES
Used to control the flow of water from the washing vessel to the collection vessel and from the
collection vessel to the water pump. When the handle is parallel to the spout, the valve will be open
and is closed when perpendicular. To switch between positions the black knob must be pulled
outwards.
SOAK WEIGHT
If you want to rehydrate material you can use the rehydrating plate by placing it over the
material/water to submerge it and allow the dry material to rehydrate for approximately 20 minutes.
NOTICE Remove plate before washing.
BAG HOLDER
The bag holder sits on top of the collection vessel. Roll micron bag tops over the top of the bag holder.
Multiple bags can be nested inside each other. Be sure to sinch each bag’s drawstring snug to
prevent it from falling into the vessel.
