Change degreaser as needed. Tank can be drained by removing the Drain Plug on bottom of Tank. 

 

The lid stay incorporates a fusible link to close the lid in the event of a fire. This link is non-resetting and 
must be replaced in the event of its operating. 
 
Clean the pump filter regularly by sliding it away from the pump housing and rinsing in clean degreaser. 

 
Do not allow the level of liquid in the parts washer to fall below the pump inlet, as damage to the pump 
can result. 
 

The pump of your parts washer may be damaged if you use solvents other than those listed above 
such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), perchloroethylene or trichloroethylene. 

 
 

Plug into a standard 120 V  grounded outlet. 

WARNING: 

This appliance must be grounded. 

 

MAINTENANCE

 

 

                               

                                                     

 

Disconnect the power supply before cleaning. Wear safety eyewear before cleaning. 

 

 

                               

                                                     

 

A qualified repair technician must perform any tool service or repair. 

Service or maintenance 

performed by unqualified personnel could result in injury. Use only identical replacement parts. Use of 
unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury. 

 

                       

                                                             

 

Do not make contact with a grounded surface while using this power tool. 

Contact with surfaces like 

pipes, radiators or major appliances increase your risk of electric shock.  

 

Warning: Always unplug the Power Cord from the electrical outlet before performing any maintenance. 

 
 
Replacing Cleaning Solution 

1. Replace the cleaning solution when it becomes dirty. 
2. Place an empty container on the lower Shelf that is large enough to hold all of the liquid which is  
in the Body. 
3. Remove the Plug from the bottom of the Body. The fluid should drain into the empty container on  
the Shelf below. 
4. Dispose of the used cleaning solution properly. Do not drain the cleaning solution into the street 
drains, house drains, or into the earth. Contact your local waste management officials for proper 
disposal methods. 
5. Replace the Plug then refill the Body with new cleaning solution. 
 
 
When the cleaning solution flow is reduced or stopped, it may be necessary to clean the Flexible Pipe. 
 

Cleaning the Flexible Pipe and Impeller 

1. Make certain that the indicator light on the Switch Box is on. 
2. Turn the Switch to the OFF position. 
3. Unplug the Power Cord from the electrical outlet. 
4. Remove the Flexible Pipe from the Elbow. Drain the pipe, inspect its interior for debris. Use 
compressed air to blow clean. 

5. Remove the Pump Housing Cover by removing the Screws, then clear and remove any foreign 
matter  from the impeller. Reattach the Pipe to the Elbow, and replace the Pump Housing Cover.
