Bench-Top System Overview
System Status Indicators
Power/Ready - This LED will alert the user when there is AC power connected to the
system (RED LED), and it will indicate when the nozzle safety switch is released allowing
the cleaning cycle to be activated (GREEN LED). The cleaning cycle WILL NOT activate
when this LED is RED. This switch is similar to a safety release found on some power
tools, i.e. saws, nail guns, etc. To release the safety switch, apply slight pressure against
the bulkhead mating sleeve and gently slide the handset forward. Notice the POWER/
READY LED turn green. Press the RUN button on the handset.
Low Solvent -When lit, indicates the solvent level is too low to operate and the system
is in standby mode. The solvent resevoir must be refilled before operation can be contin-
ued. The solvent resevoir contains 225 ml. of solvent.
Service - When lit, indicates the system’s air filters need to be replaced. The reset
button is pushed to reset the system’s cycle counter to zero. System will count 100,000
cleaning cycles before the filter change is necessary as indicated by this lit LED.
2. Press RUN button. It is not necessary to
hold the button down.
1. Apply slight pressure and
slide handset forward to
disable the safety switch.

See “Maintenance”
for filter change procedure.
To access filter assembly:
1. Power the unit off.
2. Remove the air supply hose.
3. Remove the side panel
4. Loosen the two release knobs and
slide the knobs down to tilt the
assembly outward from the
chassis.
5. Unscrew the water trap bowls and
replace each filter inside the
bowls.
NOTE: Periodically open the side
panel and check for condensation
inside the water traps. Open the
traps by loosening the drain knobs
on the bottom of the traps.

Attaching necessary elements
Step 1
Attach
the power
cord.
Step 2
Attach an external
air supply.
The system requires
a minimum of 60 psi
and a maximum of
250 psi of clean air.
Step 3
Attach a cleaning tip to handset.
A variety of tips are available.
The cleaning tips thread onto the handset.

Run Button
To deactivate the safety switch, hold the handset securely in
one hand and push the tip into the handset. Notice the
spring release tension. This is the safety feature which
prevents the system from accidentally discharging. The tip
must be retracted into the handset and the Run button
depressed before initiating a cleaning cycle. If the system
has been idle for over 4 hours, the handset may need to be
primed to assure proper solvent delivery. It is best to run 3-5
cleaning cycles to prime the handset, or press the “Prime”
button twice in succession, and then press the RUN button.
Always point the nozzle away from people and objects.
