Start-Up, Operation, Shutdown
Before Operation
1. Ensure all Cleanload valves are closed prior to starting, and inspect for leaks.
2. Unlock the lid by turning it counterclockwise, and open it. Inspect the hopper for cleanliness, remove foreign
objects, and ensure the optional hopper outlet screen is properly seated.
3. Close the lid and lock it by turning it clockwise. Gently lift on the lid to ensure it is locked closed. If the lid will not
close, will not lock, or is damaged, STOP and repair it before further use.
Start-Up
4. Divert pump flow to the Cleanload inlet line.
5. Open the INLET VALVE (Ref. 5 on pg. 8) on the eductor fitting.
6. Open the HOPPER OUTLET VALVE (Ref. 4 on pg. 8).
7. Unlock the lid by turning it counterclockwise. Open the lid slowly, taking care to check that no errant spray is
detected before fully opening the lid.
Pouring Chemical into the Hopper
8. Open the SIDEWALL RINSE VALVE.
9. Measure the required amount of chemical using an accurate measuring vessel, scale, or flow meter. The hopper
should not be used as a measurement vessel.
10. Carefully pour the chemical into the hopper taking care to not splash or spill.
11. The Cleanload is equipped with a ProClean Container Rinse System. It can be used to rinse empty liquid
containers using steps 11 through 13.
12. Place the container to be rinsed upside down over the nozzle in the bottom of the hopper. Holding the container
securely with two hands, press down to activate the CONTAINER RINSE VALVE for 30 seconds or longer until
container is visibly clean.
13. When the container is visibly clean, stop pressing down. The CONTAINER RINSE VALVE will close and the
spray will stop. Let the container drain until empty, then set it aside for proper recycling or disposal.
14. Operate the SIDEWALL RINSE SYSTEM for 30 additional seconds or longer to flush residues, and then close the
SIDEWALL RINSE VALVE.
Using the optional Cleanload Suction Lance allows for loading of liquid chemicals and powders without lifting
or pouring containers.
15. Ensure the hopper has been rinsed of chemical residue. Remove the hopper outlet screen by pulling it straight up
from the outlet and set it aside.
16. Insert the lance body into the eductor until the o-ring seals on the hopper drain.
17. Use the end of the lance to pierce the bag or foil seal, and suction up the chemical.
18. When the desired amount of chemical has been suctioned up, raise the end of the lance slightly out of the
chemical but keep it in the container to let the lance drain out.
19. Place the end of the lance into a container of clean rinse water. Suction for 30 seconds or more to clean the
lance, and then raise the end slightly out of the water to let the lance drain back into the water container.
20. Point the end of the lance up and raise it above the hopper to drain any remaining water into the eductor.
Ensure the hose is fully emptied into the eductor, then remove the lance from the eductor, and pour the
container of rinse water into the hopper.
21. Reinstall the optional hopper outlet screen.
•
Elbow fittings, reducers, check valves, and sharp turns in the plumbing create back-pressure on the eductor and
reduce performance. Their use should be minimized. Instead of sharp turns or elbow fittings, make sweeping
bends with reinforced hose. If sharp turns cannot be avoided, the plumbing should be oversized to reduce flow
restriction. Do not reduce the size of the outlet hose or fittings.
•
To gain the full benefit of the rinse systems built into the Cleanload, provision should be made so that the final
rinse is made using clean water.
o
For on-board sprayer installations, a clean water rinse tank should be connected to the pump inlet with
a 3-way valve to allow for a final clean water flush.
o
For transfer and tender truck installations, the final rinse can simply be made when clean water is
being transferred into the spray tank.

Information
Read the operating instructions completely before using the Cleanload.
• Always read and follow the chemical label instructions exactly. Understand safe practices for chemical
handling, mixing, loading, cleaning and first aid.
• Always wear proper Personal Protective Equipment when handling chemicals, including gloves, eye protection,
respirator and safety shoes.
• Always pay attention to wind conditions when dumping chemicals into the Cleanload hopper tank. Always
stand up wind when dumping in windy conditions. Also make sure that there are no other persons
downwind prior to dumping.
• Always check to make sure that there are no loose objects surrounding the Cleanload that could cause damage
to the hopper tank or hoses.
• When operating the Cleanload at night, ensure lighting of 200 to 300 Lux is present.
IMMEDIATELY close the hopper lid and SHUT DOWN the system if leaks, errant spray, operation error, or
malfunction occur.
