present, prime the pump by forcing liquid into the drain. Continue to prime the pump until
the air bubbles stop coming out of the return line.
•
Use the chemical in accordance with the manufacturer recommendations. After cleaning one
or two items, you may choose to alter the chemical ration as required, depending on the
condition and quality of the liquid being used and how heavily soiled the items being cleaned
are. Chemicals that are used in this ultrasonic cleaning system must be compatible with 304
and 316L stainless steel. The warranty will be immediately void if a chemical attack to the
stainless steel occurs.
6. Operating Instructions
•
For first startup of the cleaning system, follow the instruction under "
5. Preparation of Use
(Getting Started)
" section of this manual.
•
Turn the "Main Power" to the "ON" position (
Do Not
turn on the ultrasonics without having
liquid in the tank, doing so will damage the ultrasonic transducers).
•
Rotate the "Power Intensity" dial clockwise (the ultrasonic sound will increase). After each
fill up of the tank, allow the ultrasonic run for a minimum of 10 minutes at 80% power to
allow the ultrasonic "Degas" the liquid (removed excess air molecules thus increasing
efficiency).
•
If applicable, turn the "Heat" switch to the "ON" position (
Do Not
turn on the heater without
liquid in the tank, doing so may damage the heater).
•
If applicable, set the "Temperature" gauge as desired. Allow the temperature of the liquid to
reach the desired level before attempting to clean items.
•
Place the item to be cleaned into a basket and then/or into the tank. Be sure to completely
submerge the item to be cleaned into the liquid. Ensure that there is no voids (air bubbles) on
the item as the ultrasonic process will only work in the liquid medium. On average, 60 – 120
seconds of immersion time is all that is required to thoroughly clean the average job. Some
cleaning job times may vary depending on the amount and type of material to be removed.
NOTE: When first learning the capabilities of the system, do not leave items unattended
in the ultrasonic tank for periods longer than (4) minutes. The system may damage
painted surfaces if allowed to remain in the ultrasonic bath for extended periods of
time. Longer cleaning times can be used after thorough testing has been completed.
