OPERATION

• Place parts to be cleaned on the Parts Tray. Small parts may be placed in the Small Parts Bin.

• Allow cleaning solution to ﬂow completely over the part surface, wetting it completely. Allow time for solution to soften any grease and debris

then use the Flow-through Parts Cleaning Brush to remove stubborn deposits.

• Let excess solution to drain from parts then remove from washer and rinse in warm water.

• When done, turn pump to the off position, close lid and unplug unit.

MAINTENANCE

• Unplug unit and remove ﬁlter after every hour of cleaning. Clean more often if removing excessively heavy deposits of grease and grit.

NOTE: Failure to clean ﬁlter will result in diminished ﬂuid ﬂow, cleaning effectiveness and eventual pump motor failure.

To clean ﬁlter: remove Filter Cover and 4” x 4” square Filter Media. Rinse thoroughly in warm water, let dry and replace.

• If it becomes apparent that the ﬁlter requires cleaning more often, it is likely that the cleaning solution needs to be replaced and an accumulation

of sediment from the Tub bottom needs to be removed.

To drain solution: Using a 13mm wrench, remove drain plug and drain cleaning solution into suitable containers and dispose of properly.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• If ﬁlter cleaning does not restore pump performance, an accumulation of dirt and grit may be present in the Pump and/or Flexible Metal “Gooseneck” Fluid

Outlet Tube.
