Usage Precautions
Keep the following in mind as you prepare to use your Spray-Wash Cabinet:
•
Make a visual inspection of the unit before each use. Do not operate your Spray-Wash Cabinet if
you find any issues. Instead, take the unit out of service, then contact your dealer, visit
www.bendpak.com/support/ , or call Ranger Products at (800) 253-2363 .
• The heating elements and pump/motor can be damaged if the Water level drops too low;
always
make sure the Water Reservoir is full of Water.
Check the Water level daily; it should be just above the bottom of the Grate . Do not allow
the Water level to go below the bottom of the Grate. Keep the Grate clean so the Water can return
to the Water Reservoir after a Wash Cycle.
• Clean the unit according to the instructions in Maintenance . Your Wash Cycles will not clean
effectively if the Spray-Wash Cabinet is dirty.
• Your Spray-Wash Cabinet is made with mild steel; it will rust unless you use the correct Detergent
and
perform the Start-Up Process correctly .
Important: Make sure the Detergent you are using is safe on mild steel and has rust inhibitors,
such as Aluma-Klean Detergent, which is available on
the Ranger website
.
• When performing the Start-Up Process, do not start it unless you have the time needed to heat the
Water to 140° to 160°F, add the Detergent to the Water Reservoir, run a 15-minute Wash Cycle (to
mix the Detergent into the Water) and then run a 60-minute Wash Cycle (to coat the steel on the
inside of the unit with rust inhibitor).
• Read the entire Installation and Operation Manual before using the unit.
• The Door and the rest of the Cabinet get hot during a Wash Cycle.
⚠
WARNING Do not touch the Door or any part of the Cabinet during or right after a Wash Cycle;
you could be burned.
Water Temperature
It is important to keep the temperature of the Water in the Spray-Wash Cabinet in the range of 160° to
180°F (71° to 82°C).
When the unit is plugged in to a power source and the Breakers are On, the Spray-Wash Cabinet’s
thermostat keeps the Water in the 160° to 180°F range automatically.
When the unit is unplugged from a power source or the Breakers are set Off, the Spray-Wash
Cabinet’s thermostat goes off and the Water’s temperature returns to room temperature.
Because it is important that you not start a Wash Cycle until the Water temperature is in the range of
160° to 180°F (71° to 82°C), BendPak Ranger recommends using a portable industrial thermometer to
check the temperature of the Water as needed.
Friction-Drive Wheel
The Friction-Drive Wheel is on the inside back of the Spray-Wash Cabinet; it meshes with the Parts
Turntable on the inside of the cabinet. When you run a Wash Cycle, the Friction-Drive Wheel turns,
which in turn moves the Parts Turntable.
To remove the Parts Turntable, you must first pull back the Friction-Drive Wheel (from the rear of the
Spray-Wash Cabinet).
