Hanging / Floor Operation
•
To switch from floor operation to hanging operation, disconnect the 2 brass quick-connect
fittings from the Fluid Input and Fluid Output.
•
Open side tank door and slide tank out of the inner chamber located in the base of the
machine. Set aside.
•
Lock X and Y axis locks.
•
Gently place MANIAC II™ on its side so the bottom of the machine is accessible.
•
Attach the included hanging brackets by lining up the tabs on the brackets with the holes
on the base of the machine.
•
Spin both screw handles clockwise until they snap in place. If need be, use a wrench to
make certain they are not under tightened. Repeat for remaining hanging bracket.
•
Attach mounting clamps (c-clamp) rated for the appropriate weight capacity to the
hanging bracket. You must use two mounting clamps to mount the MANIAC II™.
•
Make certain that the structure or surface onto which you are mounting this machine can
support the weight.
•
Mount the MANIAC II™ securely to a rigging point, such as an elevated platform or truss
along with a safety cable. Reinstall fluid tank (now inverted) into the inner fluid tank
chamber.
•
Unlock X and Y axis locks before operating.

Cleaning and storage
•
It is recommended that after 40 hours of continuous use or before this machine is put into
storage, you run a 95% distilled water and 5% distilled white vinegar mixture through the
machine. Run a small amount of distilled water through machine and turn off.
•
When machine is unplugged and cooled down, use a vacuum (or dry compressed air)
and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the air vents and external surfaces.
•
To prevent damage, do not spin any of the cooling fans using compressed air.
WARNING: To prevent damage, do not store, transport or ship with
