This guide contains instructions for installing, programming, and troubleshooting 

the AutoDose™ Dispensing System. Throughout the guide, the following icons are 

used to indicate the model(s) to which each step pertains.

AutoDose

 Automatic Dispensing System

The AutoDose

TM

 is a battery or A/C-powered peristaltic pumping dispenser that runs automatically at preset times as 

programmed with an electronic timer / control. Product operates reliably and consistantly, even in demanding environments.

!

Please use this equipment carefully and 

observe all warnings and cautions.

ALWAYS

  observe  safety  and  handling  instructions  of 

the chemical manufacturers.

ALWAYS

  direct  discharge  away  from  you  or  other 

persons or into approved containers.

ALWAYS

 dispense cleaners and chemicals in accordance 

with manufacturer’s instructions. Exercise CAUTION 

when maintaining your equipment.

KEEP

 equipment clean for proper operation.

WEAR

 protective clothing and eyewear when working 

in  the  vicinity  of  all  chemicals,  filling  or  emptying 

equipment, or changing tubes.

ALWAYS

  re-assemble  equipment  according  to 

instruction  procedures.  Be  sure  all  components  are 

firmly  screwed  or  latched  into  position.  Ensure  that 

hoses and electrical wires are properly placed and not 

kinked or pinched.

Tube life will vary depending on the type of treatment 

product used. To prevent emergency service, schedule 

replacement at least once per year.

NOTE

:

 The batteries should be scheduled for periodic 

replacement. Using a total of 40 running (pumping) 

hours, create a schedule for servicing the unit and 

changing the batteries. Maintaining the power source 

as such will help to provide the proper dosing by 

providing a more consistent pumping rate.
