Drain hose
Connect a drain hose to the drain outlet connector (item 12
Connect a drain hose to the drain outlet connector (item 12
illustration 2). Lead it on to, and secure it well to a regular
drain-water system.
The hose can be led into this connector via the slots on the side
of the unit, or through the open back of the unit. In either case,
make sure that the hose do not bend the air-lines or in any
other way harm the pneumatic system of the unit.
Ventilation
The air-driven extractor must be connected to a metal ducting
to lead the exhaust outdoors. An alternative is to lead it into a
hood that is in turn connected to a suitable ventilation system
approved for Zone 1. This hood should have an open design so
as to avoid constant extraction (see illustration 10).
The metal ducting may not be longer than 15 metres, and must
be connected in such a way as to ensure grounding.
PERMITTED SOLVENTS
The unit has two separate areas for cleaning:
1. The automatic washer (item 1 illustration 1). In this washer
water or water-based solvents can be used.
2. The sink (item 2 illustration 1). In this sink water only shall
be used.
Thinner/gun-wash must NOT under any circumstances be
used in this machine.
PERMITTED SOLVENT DRUMS
The DRESTER BOXER DOUBLE A can be used with different
types of drums, but they must comply with the following:
– The drums must fi t into the unit
– The drums must be leak-free.
– Check for local regulations concerning max allowed volume
for keeping solvents in the unit
Solvent drums are not provided by Hedson Technologies,
thus Hedson Technologies does not take any responsibil-
ity for the drums. Follow the solvent supplier’s instructions
carefully.
COLLECTING TRAY
The unit must be installed in such a way as to prevent acciden-
tal leakage of solvent or contaminated water from spreading
into a drain water system, thus representing a hazard to the
environment. This can be done by:
– installing the unit in a location where fl oor and walls can
hold any accidental drum leakage, or
– equipping the unit with a collecting tray beneath the solvent
drum and water container that is large enough to hold the
volume of at least one leaking item.
PREPARATIONS FOR USE
Solvent drum
Remove the front panel (item 5 illustration 1) by lifting it up-
and-out.
Remove the foot-pedal console (items 6 illustration 1) by lifting
it up and folding it out to the side (see illustration 2).
Place the drum to the left underneath the unit (item 2 illustra-
tion 2). Insert the group of hoses containing the drain hose
from the automatic washer into this drum (item 4 illustration
2). Make sure that the hoses are properly led well down into
the drum, and that the opening is well sealed by the tapered
plug.
Drum plugs
There are several types of solvent drums on the market, each
with different diameter of the opening. With the unit, a card-
board box with a selection of tapered plugs is supplied (see
illustration 3). Select the plug that fi t well into the opening of
the drums, and fi t them onto the drum adaptor of the hoses
(see illustration 4).
Water
Fill the fi ltrate container (item 7 illustration 2) to 1/2 of the
volume with clean water.
Operating instructions
Operating instructions should be formulated on the basis of
this manual and translated into the language spoken by the
employees. It should always be available close to the machine.
To avoid confusion, the employees must be informed about the
solvent currently being used in the machine.
