AUTOMATIC PARTS WASHER
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION
STEP 4: FILL THE MACHINE
WITH WATER AND ADD
DETERGENT
Step 1:
Familiarize yourself with the low water shut-off system
on the left side of the machine (See Figures Below).
Step 2:
Fill the sump with water.
If your machine is equipped with the optional automatic
water fill feature, simply turn the water on; the automatic
water fill feature will automatically turn off the water
when the sump is full.
If your machine is not equipped with optional automatic
water fill feature, add water through the wash chamber
until the low water shut-off system indicates that the
sump is full. The sump capacity is 25 gallons.
Step 3:
Close the lid.
Step 4:
Flip the heater switch to the ON position.
The sump water will reach operating temperature
(160°-180°F Excludes 120V Version 1.043-356.0) in
approximately four hours.
To avoid having to wait for the wash solution to heat
up before you use the machine each day, install an
optional 24-hour 7-day heater timer. Refer to 24-hour,
7-day Heater Timer for more information.
IMPORTANT: Allow the sump water to reach operating
temperature before adding detergent and running the
machine. If you add detergent and run the machine
when the sump water is cool, the detergent will foam
excessively and could overflow the machine.
Step 5:
While the sump water is heating, add the appropriate
quantity of factory approved detergent to the wash
chamber. We recommend mixing the detergent with
warm water in a separate bucket/container and then
pouring the dissolved detergent into the sump.
NOTE: Factory approved detergent is the only detergent
approved for use with this automatic parts washer. It
is specially formulated with rust inhibitors and anti-
foaming agents to optimize performance and minimize
maintenance. The use of any other detergent during
the warranty period will void the warranty. In addition,
using factory detergents will extend your 90 day labor
warranty to 1 year.
Step 6:
Turn the wash cycle timer and allow the machine to
complete the cycle to dissolve the detergent into the
water. When the machine stops, it is ready for use. Refer
to Operation for complete operating instructions.
