SECTION 3: OPERATION
Turntable Assembly
The turntable assembly uses a torque arm mounted
on the underside of the lid to rotate the turntable (See
Figure Below). The torque arm includes a torque limiter
which prevents the turntable motor from burning out in
case a part falls off the turntable and obstructs rotation.
For information on adjusting the torque limiter, refer
to Torque Limiter. For information on replacing the
turntable motor, refer to Turntable Motor.
Removing the Turntable
To remove the turntable, grasp it evenly on opposite
sides and lift it free of the spindle.
Important: The turntable rotates on a thrust bearing
inside of the hub. As you lift the turntable free of the
spindle, take care not to jar the thrust bearing loose.
If the thrust bearing drops out of the hub, inspect it for
wear then either replace it or re-install it (See Previous
Figure).
Debris Screen
The debris screen is located below the turntable inside
of the wash chamber (See Figure Below). The debris
screen continuously filters debris particles from the
cleaning solution to ensure blockage free spray nozzle
operation, and also provides a safeguard against small
parts that might accidentally be washed through from
the wash chamber.
The frequency at which you must clean the debris
screen depends on machine usage. In general, you
should clean the screen before operating the machine
each day. To access and remove the screen you must
remove the turntable (see Removing the Turntable).
NOTE: Never operate the machine without the debris
screen in place. The screen is specially sized to filter
particles that could clog the spray nozzles or damage
the water pump. Operating the machine without the
debris screen in place could cause spray nozzle
clogging or water pump failure.
Air Flow Valve (Optional)
The air flow valve is located on the right rear corner of
the machine. It is a three-way ball valve that controls
the flow of compressed air to the power brush and the
hand detail brush (See Figure Below).
Power Brush (Optional)
The power brush is located on the right front corner of
the machine (See Figure Below). Refer to Connect a
Compressed-Air Line and Accessories for detailed
installation information.
NOTE: The power brush is available as an option on
this machine. For ordering information, contact your
distributor or call customer service.
