Maintenance 

Make sure your Spray-Wash Cabinet is maintained on a regular basis. 
If you do not use the unit for an extended period of time, coat the inside of the Cabinet with rust 

dissolver (such as WD-40®) to prevent against rust formation. 

Regular Maintenance 

 

WARNING:

  The unit uses electrical energy; set the Breakers to Off and disconnect the Power 

Cord from power 

before performing any maintenance!

 If your organization 

has Lockout/Tagout policies, make sure to implement them after connecting to a 
power source. 

To maintain your Spray-Wash Cabinet

 

Daily

: Check the Water Reservoir level; it should be just above the bottom of the Grate. Do not 

start a Wash Cycle if the Water level is below the bottom of the Grate. 

 

Daily

: Wipe up any cleaning solution that has spilled. 

 

Daily

: Skim the floating Oil out of the Water Reservoir when it is at or over 1/4 inch (6 mm) deep or 

the Oil starts to impede cleaning. 

 

Monthly

: Check all external hoses for leaks or weaknesses and replace if necessary. Check 

hoses during a Wash Cycle to see if a bubble forms in the hose lining. 

 

Monthly

: Check all components to make sure they are in good operating condition. If you find a 

component that is not working correctly, take the unit out of service and refer to 

Troubleshooting

 for more information. 

 

Monthly

: Remove Sludge from the Water Reservoir, as described in 

Removing Sludge

. Clean 

out the Water Reservoir every week for the first month, then develop an appropriate schedule 
based on what you are cleaning and how often. 
Do not allow the Sludge in the Water Reservoir to exceed one inch in depth. If you do, the Sludge 

buildup could damage other components. 

 

Every three months

: Inspect the Friction-Drive Wheel for worn wire brushes; replace any that 

are worn (Ranger SKU 5335721). 

 

Every three months

: Lubricate the grease fitting under the Parts Turntable with white lithium 

grease or similar; make sure to replace the cap. 

 

Yearly

: Have your electrician come out and check the electronic components. 

 

Yearly

: Take the unit out of service (Breakers set to Off, Power Cord unplugged from power) and 

thoroughly check and clean all components. 

 

WARNING:

  Do not operate your Spray-Wash Cabinet if you find issues; instead, take the unit 

out of service, then contact your dealer, visit
