INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Biomatic Parts Washer
The Biomatic Parts Washer is designed to safely and eectively remove oil and grease from industrial and
automotive parts. It employs a clever technology called bioremediation to dramatically reduce waste uid
generation, reducing the expense of hazardous waste removal and bringing signicant savings to the user.
The Biomatic Parts Washer system comprises three distinct parts: The Biomatic Parts Washer machine, the Biomatic Fluid and the
lter mat. The lter mat contains millions of micro-organisms. It releases these microbes into the Biomatic Parts Washer system to
break down or “eat” the oil and grease that has been washed o dirty parts into the Biomatic Fluid. The microbes turn it all into
harmless carbon dioxide and water, leaving the Biomatic Fluid clean and strong for every use, eectively recycling the uid and
reducing the need for hazardous waste disposal. The Biomatic Fluid is pH neutral, non-caustic, non-ammable and a biodegradable
degreasing solution bringing health and safety benets to the user and assisting compliance with latest workplace legislation.
This operating manual has been designed to give you all the information on the Biomatic Parts Washer.
Please read carefully before using the machine. Familiarise yourself with this unit`s operation, its particular features and limitations.

3. PROPER USE
The Biomatic Parts Washer is designed for manually cleaning parts with a maximum weight of 150kg. Do not exceed the
specied weight.
Biomatic Fluid and lter mat must be used for the Biomatic Parts Washer system to function properly. The use of other detergents
or cleaning uids can hamper or prevent the bioremediation of oil and greases and invalidate the warranty.
Do not ll the tank with solvents, ammable or explosive liquids.
The Biomatic Parts Washer is not meant for the disposal of used oil. If large quantities of oil, petrol, engine oil, anti-freeze agents
or similar substances are added to the system this can hamper the bioremediation of oil and grease by the microbes.
Do not clean paint brushes or painting tools in the Biomatic Parts Washer or any materials containing asbestos or other hazardous
substances such as pesticides.
The machine should only be used by people who have been instructed in how to use it properly.
The operator must use the machine as instructed in this manual. The operator must pay attention to any surrounding hazards and
consider those working around him when using the Biomatic Parts Washer.
The machine must be checked prior to use to ensure that it is in proper working order and is operating safely.
All electrical equipment in the working area must be protected against any spraying cleaning solution.
Please wear appropriate PPE when using the machine – such as safety goggles and protective gloves.
Read the Safety Data Sheet for the Biomatic Fluid (Art. 995.903) for additional
precautions and specic rst aid treatments in case of exposure.
4. FUNCTION
The microbes are rst introduced to the system in the lter mat and are then transported by the Biomatic Fluid through the lter mat into
the Biomatic Parts Washer tank.
The cleaning uid in the tank is heated by the element and transported by the pump to the sink where it is dispensed through the
nozzle and o-thru brush. The cleaning uid must remain heated for the microbes to function properly.
Solid dirt particles washed o parts into the sink are captured in the lter basket in the sink tray and in the underlying lter mat which
traps large particles of grease and oil along with any particulate matter larger than 50 microns.
Grease and oil is washed o parts into the Biomatic Parts Washer tank and then
degraded by the microbes into carbon dioxide and water.

6. SETTING UP
After removing packaging, check the unit for transport damage. If any defect is detected do not connect the machine to the mains.
Report damage to vendor.
Situate the Biomatic Parts Washer on at stable ground. The oor must be even to ensure safe operation.
Press the wheel brakes on the rear of the machine.
Remove the black sink tray.
Unpack the lter mat and place it white side up on top of the lter support grid.
Replace the black sink tray on top.
Pour 60 litres of Biomatic Fluid slowly into the sink.
Do not overll.
WARNING – Adding any other cleaning solution or liquids such as solvents, disinfectants and alkaline cleaners can deactivate
the microbes and the bioremediation of grease and oil will be aected resulting in the Biomatic Parts Washer not working properly.
Plug into the correct mains supply. To avoid damage, the machine must be plugged into the power source stated on the machine
control box label. Switch on electrical supply.
The Biomatic Parts Washer will begin to heat up the cleaning solution to its optimal
working temperature of 42°C. (This will take approx. 4 hours)
7. OPERATION
Cleaning is a manual operation using the o-thru brush in the Biomatic Parts Washer sink top.
Wear appropriate PPE such as safety goggles and protective gloves.
Place the dirty parts in the sink tray (maximum weights must not be exceeded – see 3. PROPER USE).
Press the metal on/o button to turn the pump on. Wet the sink, nozzle and brushes prior to cleaning to prevent grease and dirt
sticking to the surfaces. The pump will run for 5 minutes and then automatically switch o.
Open the tap of the desired tool – you can use both the nozzle and the o-thru brush at the same time for maximum cleaning if desired.
Note: Any parts susceptible to corrosion should not be left in sink after cleaning.
As with all parts washers excess grease and oil should be disposed of prior to washing.
DO NOT USE THE Biomatic Parts Washer AS A WASTE DUMP
Do not turn the Biomatic Parts Washer o unless it is for safety reasons, moving or servicing. The
optimum temperature for the activity of the microbes and therefore breakdown of oil and grease is between
37°C and 42°C, therefore the biomatic parts washer must always be left switched on.

If the red “LOW FLUID” light is ashing, pour 20 litres of Biomatic Fluid into the Biomatic Parts Washer sink.
NOTE – Do not overll the Biomatic Parts Washer.
If the red “LOW FLUID” indicator light is ashing the heater element in the base unit will be switched o and the cleaning solution
will begin to lose temperature. Therefore it is important to top up the uid as soon as possible to keep the microbes at their optimum
working temperature.
MONTHLY - Change the lter mat
First remove the sink tray.
Wring out the uid from the old lter mat into the sink.
Please dispose of used lter mat according to local authority regulations for waste containing mineral oil (see “Instructions for
Disposal”).
Place new lter mat white side up onto the lter support grid.
Replace the sink tray.
YEARLY - Annual maintenance check on the Biomatic Parts Washer recommended
If a cleanout and change of uid is required please follow correct procedure.
Ensure the machine is switched o and unplugged from the mains.
Lift o the sink top and disconnect hose pipes.
Remove dirty solution from the base unit and dispose of waste according to local authority regulations (see “Instructions for
Disposal”).
Rinse / jetwash the base unit.
Replace sink top checking that the hose pipes are all connected.
Remove sink tray.
Place new lter mat white side up on the lter support grid.
Replace sink tray.

11. SHUTTING DOWN
Switch the power o at the electrical socket.
NOTE – In order for the bioremediation process to occur the temperature of the cleaning solution must be
maintained at 42°C for the microbes to operate at their optimal level. Therefore the Biomatic Parts Washer must
remain plugged in at all times. The power supply must not be switched o at night or at weekends.
12. RESTARTING
If there is a power failure or the machine is switched o for a considerable length of time and the cleaning solution is allowed to
go cold, new microbes will need to be added to the cleaning solution.
Replace the lter mat (see section “Maintenance and Care/Monthly”).
13. MOVING OR TRANSPORTING
Unplug the Biomatic Parts Washer from the electrical socket; roll up the power cord. Take o brakes. Carefully wheel to desired
location taking into account the inuences of the surrounding area and ground conditions to ensure the Biomatic Parts Washer does
not tip over.
Do not expose the appliance to rain or snow and do not use it in damp or wet conditions to ensure safe operation.
When nished move or wheel Biomatic Parts Washer to desired location and plug the power cord back into the appropriate
electrical socket to avoid deterioration of cleaning performance (see section “Restarting”).
Do not abuse the supply cord and/or the hose. Never use the supply cord or hose to carry
or pull the appliance. Damaged supply cords increase the risk of electric shock.
14. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Switch o the Biomatic Parts Washer and unplug from mains socket before carrying out any maintenance on the machine.
