Section 2: Installation
Note: The machine is designed for portability, and some
maintenance tasks require that you move the machine.
DO NOT make a permanent connection from your shop
water supply to the machine.
STEP 4: FILL THE MACHINE
WITH WATER AND ADD
DETERGENT
Step 1:
Familiarize yourself with the low water shut-off system
on the left side of the machine (See Figures Below).
Step 2:
Fill the sump with water.
If your machine is equipped with the optional automatic
water fill feature, simply turn the water on; the automatic
water fill feature will automatically turn off the water when
the sump is full.
If your machine is not equipped with optional automatic
water fill feature, add water through the wash chamber
until the low water shut-off system indicates that the
sump is full. The sump capacity is 25 gallons.

Step 3:
Close the lid.
Step 4:
Flip the heater switch to the ON position.
The sump water will reach operating temperature (160°-
180°F) in approximately four hours.
To avoid having to wait for the wash solution to heat up
before you use the machine each day, install an op-
tional 24-hour 7-day heater timer. Refer to 24-hour, 7-
day Heater Timer” for more information.
IMPORTANT: Allow the sump water to reach operating
temperature before adding detergent and running the
machine. If you add detergent and run the machine when
the sump water is cool, the detergent will foam exces-
sively and could overflow the machine.
Step 5:
Add appropriate amount of detergent
to the wash cham-
ber. To ensure that the detergent dissolves properly,
spread it evenly throughout the wash chamber.
Note: The manufacturers detergents
are the only de-
tergents approved for use with this automatic parts
washer. They are specially formulated with rust inhibi-
tors and anti-foaming agents to optimize performance
and minimize maintenance. The use of any other deter-
gent during the warranty period will void the warranty.
Step 6:
Turn the wash cycle timer and allow the machine to
complete the cycle to dissolve the detergent into the
water. When the machine stops, it is ready for use. Re-
fer to
Section 3: Operation for complete operating in-
structions.
