For your protection and to maintain the performance of the cleaning process, do not contaminate
cleaning solution with fluids below 104°F (40°C) flash point. Do not dump gasoline, alcohol, used
oil, paint, lubricants, flammable liquids, chlorinated solvents, or other chemicals into this parts
cleaner. Even small amounts will create a hazardous condition.
Ensure fusible link and closing device are in proper working order. Fusible link melts at
165°F(74°C) causing lid to close. Whenopenthe lid must leanforward soit will close automatically
when link melts. Do NOT tamper with or remove the fusible safety link. If the safety link breaks or
is lost, do NOT use the unit. Replace the safety link immediately.
Hazardous voltage present. Disconnect power before repairing or cleaning. Unit must be properly
grounded to preventelectricshock, fire, and explosion hazard. Connect only tothree prong outlets.

Do not operate below minimum liquid level marking. Low liquid level may result in motor failure,
creating a potential fire hazard.Fill tank to recommended operating capacityrange before plugging
in power cord. Do not operate with drum empty.
Operator shall wear appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment). Refer to cleaning fluid SDS
(safety data sheet) for details. If any cleaning solutions are splashed on clothing, remove wet
clothing promptly and thoroughly wash body areas that have been in contact with the solution. Do
NOT permit saturated clothing to remain in contact with skin. Cleaning solutions may irritate skin
and eyes. If splashed in eyes, flush thoroughly with water. Consult Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and
a physician. Always wear appropriate safety items such as gloves, apron, safety glasses or
goggles.
Floor may be slippery when wet, do not splash fluids out of tank.
Use with solvent cleaningfluids only. The useof aqueous based (water) cleaningfluids will damage
the finish and cause rusting.
Install unit on level surface. Do not overload tank floor, shelf, or trays. Load items evenly, do not
allow items to overhang outside of the tank. Maximum load capacity is 100 lbs. Placing parts at
one end of tank can cause unit to become unbalanced and tip over.
Do NOT plug tank drain and fill. This also can cause unit to become unstable and possibly tip over.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
The work area should be well ventilated.
Provide adequate lighting in the work area to allow observation of the cleaning process and the floor
area around the machine. Be sure to allow adequate room to bring work to and from the machine.
Provide sufficient clearance around the machine for fluid changeovers and servicing.
Site Preparation
Before installing, careful consideration should be given to the place of operation. Place unit on a
smooth, level surface. To the extent possible avoid installing machine in areas subject to high forklift
traffic. Reasonable precautions shall be taken to avoid damaging or puncturing the drum and sink
walls.
Installation Procedure
•Place cleaning tank on top of Zep 30 gallon open-head drum (Not included with machine).
Mounting ring on sink bottom should insert easily into drum and fully seat onto four mounting
brackets. If the sink does not fit into drum check drum for damage or out of roundness. If the
sink cannot be made to seat fully into the drum do not use the machine.
•Plug pump power cord into the receptacle on the back of electric box.
•Slip nylon filter sock onto drain cover. Position drain cover with filter bag in tank drain opening.
•Fill with appropriate cleaning fluid.
•Insert 3-prong plug into a properly grounded compatible outlet.
•Position light (If present) on rear of cleaning tank. Lift lock ring and lower light onto bracket post.
Release lock ring and check that light is secure on tank. Plug light power cord into the
receptacle on the back of electric box.
•Lower pump (Figure 2(O)) into drum by releasing the cable from bracket on right end of tank
and allow the pump to slowly pull cable into opening at left end of tank (Figure 3).
Unit is now ready for use.
Automatic Safety Cover
Open the lid on your Dyna-Clean and you will notice that it lifts simply and easily with one hand. There
is nothing to connect or disconnect to open or close the cover.
Your Dyna-Clean lid is equipped with a two-way gas spring (FIGURE 2(H)) that also incorporates a
fusible link (FIGURE 2 (D)). When open, the cover mechanism supports the cover at a slightly forward
angle. This angle is necessary to assure the cover’s fusible link will operate in the unlikely event of fire
in the tank. In the event of a fire, the fusible link will melt at 165°F permitting the lid to slam shut,
reducing oxygen supply to the fire.
Never leave the Dyna-Clean unattended with parts in the tank which would prevent the cover from
closing completely in the event of a fire. Ensure that brush hose is stored correctly inside the unit.
Always make sure that the cover remains in its correct, slightly tilted forward position when open. Do
NOT tamper with or remove the fusible safety link. If the safety link breaks or is lost, replace
immediately. Keep the cover closed when the unit is not being used.

THREE STAGE FILTRATION SYSTEM
The Zep Dyna Filtration system effectively removes unwanted greases and oils on a continuous basis
for more effective cleaning and longer solvent life.
NYLON FILTER SOCK
Removes large particles of dirt and grime to extend fluid life. It is recommended to remove and clean
nylon filter sock daily for optimum filtration of contaminants.
CANISTER FILTER
Replace the Zep canister filter every two months or when there is a reduction in flow rate from the
spout.
DYNA-TRAP FILTER BAG
Attach the Dyna-Trap by pushing the connector hose onto the hose-barb at the rear of the tank and turn
the “ON/OFF” switch to the ON position. Limited amounts of greases and oils are removed from
solvents as fluid percolates through the filter medium.
All models:
•Never work with equipment you feel may be unsafe. Contact your supervisor immediately if you
feel a piece of equipment is in an unsafe condition.
•Fill drum with Zep approved solvent cleaning fluid with flash point of 104°F (40°C) or higher.
Drum must contain enough fluid to submerge the pump but should not be more than 2/3 full.
•Insert plug into a properly grounded compatible outlet.
•This machine contains a flexible hose (FIGURE 2(U)) capable of splashing solvent and/or
ejecting it from the machine. The hose must be directed into the tank at all times and eye
protection worn while operating the equipment.
•Turn on rocker switch on right side of tank to start fluid recirculating.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Inspect pump, fusible link, and all electrical cords and plugs each time unit is cleaned. Do NOT use if
any wear or damage is noticed until impaired components are repaired or replaced.
Fill drum to recommended operating capacity range before plugging in power cord. (See
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION section.
To maximize fluid life and increase efficiency of the unit, the unit should be cleaned regularly. It is
recommended that the unit’s metal strainer and nylon filter sock located at the bottom center of the sink
be removed and cleaned daily for optimum filtration of contaminants and lengthened fluid life.
Changing Fluid
When it is determined that the cleaning fluid is no longer usable, remove the sink from the drum,
dispose of the contents in accordance with local regulations, wipe out drum and refill with fresh cleaning
fluid. To avoid buildup of sludge and grime, periodically wipe out sink.
Always dispose of used cleaning fluid properly. Refer to the cleaning chemical manufacturer’s package
label and solvent MSDS for instructions.
The pump supplied with this parts cleaner is retractable to protect it as well as to facilitate fluid
changeovers.
Raise pump by pulling cable straight out as far as it will go. Be sure to pull the cable straight out of the
hole to avoid scraping cable against sleeve opening (see Figure 3). Repeated scraping will cause cable
to fray and weaken.
Swing the cable over to opposite end of tank and insert into holding bracket. This will secure pump into
circular ring. Pump DOES NOT hang down, and therefore lift is much less.
