II. OPERATION / SET-UP
1. Set-Up
• Begin by checking your water pressure on the gauge located on the
water column. 45 PSI is your target (+/- 5 PSI). If you need to adjust
the PSI, you can do so by tightening or loosening your diaphragm screw.
• Locate the Wash-down switch located on the electrical box and press
it. The green light will illuminate. The Wash-down switch allows for
operation without payment. This is primarily used for maintenance
and cleaning. The unit will only operate for two minutes before
turning off unless another button (i.e. Rinse or Tearless Shampoo)
is pressed. If the unit turns off before your maintenance is complete,
press the Wash-down switch again to reactivate the two minute timer.
Filling Your Soap Containers
• All Paws Pet Wash recommends a dilution ratio of 20:1 for our soap concentrates. This
means that for every ounce of concentrate in your jug, you need to add 20 oz of water. If
this ratio isn’t followed properly, you may end up with soap too viscous to siphon properly.
*Depending on water hardness, water-to-soap ratio may need to be adjusted.
• Fill all six of your soap containers to the “FULL” line on the label. Once your soap mixtures
fall below the “BELOW LINE”, fill them up again to assure proper operation of your APW unit.
Siphoning Soaps
•
Begin by tightening the flow screw with a small flat-head
screwdriver. Tighten
by turning clockwise until snug.
DO NOT
over tighten the flow screw!
•
Next, select the first soap to be siphoned, the Oat
Shampoo. Press the
Oat Shampoo button on the Spray Control located on the front of your APW.
Before beginning this process, insert suction strainers into containers!
(Ref. page 4)
• Turn on the sprayer to get the water flowing. Lock the sprayer
in the “on” position and place in tub to keep the water flowing.
• In your cabinet, you should see the soap from the Oat Shampoo
begin the fill the line leading from the container up to the
Solenoid valves.
•
Once the soap is flowing out of the sprayer, return to the Spray Control on the front of your
APW and select Rinse. After a few moments of Rinse time, select the next soap to get it
flowing. Repeat this process for all 6 treatments.
•
After all of your soaps are flowing correctly, return to the flow screw and loosen the screw
two full turns. If your soap is not flowing properly, double check your PSI reading.
2. Testing
• Once all of your treatments have been siphoned from the containers up to the solenoid
valves, it’s time to test your APW. Start the sprayer, lock it in the “on” position and place
it in the tub.
• Work your way down through all of the soaps
and treatments on the spray control board while
switching to “Rinse” in-between each soap or
treatment. While the system is on Rinse, only
water should be coming from your sprayer.
When you switch to a soap or treatment, you
should notice a decrease in water pressure and
some foaming coming from the sprayer. Place
your hand under your sprayer to double check
the foaming soap.
It’s important to note, rinse pressure is stronger than soap and treatment pressure!
