3.5. Firearm Cleaning Procedure
1.
Fill Tank
– Fill the tank up to the recommended working level with a mixture of
10% Brulin 815GD and 90% high quality water (Shake Brulin 815GD well before
using). Also fill the lubricant pan with Valrust 1609 and set aside for later use.
a.
Safety
: Please read the Safety Data Sheet before mixing any chemicals
2.
Preheat
: Preheat the tank to 140 Degrees Fahrenheit (60 Degrees Celsius).
3.
De-Gas
: With the tank full run the system for 5 minutes to degas. Review section
“Operating the equipment” 3.4.8 about degassing before ultrasonically cleaning.
4.
Firearm Preparation
: Remove all ammunition from the firearm and inspect the
chamber is empty.
5.
Disassemble and Submerge
– Disassemble the firearm. Typical disassembly is
a
“field strip”. Remove any wooden grips. Place the disassembled firearm in the
mesh basket. Submerge basket into the tank. (
Caution
: Detergent in the tank is
hot, wear appropriate gloves for protection.)
6.
Clean
– Ultrasonically clean the firearm by following the procedure listed above
in Section 3.3
– Generator Control Knobs. It is recommended to set power
intensity to 50% and Power Modulation to 300 Hz and to clean for 3-5 minutes for
most firearms.
a. Most guns will be cleaned after the 3-5 mins but results vary depending on
the amount carbon/dirt build up.
Option
: For heavy carbon build up, take a
brush to loosen it then ultrasonically clean for another 3-5 minutes or until
the desired cleanliness is met.
7.
Rinse
– Remove the basket and then rinse the firearm with hot tap water for
approximately 30 seconds to remove any residual detergent. Dry the firearm with
the Ultra-Power parts dryer. (Safety Glasses are recommended)
8.
Lubricate
– Once dry, place the firearm in the lubricant pan with the Valrust
1609 and place the pan so that the bottom of the lube pan is partially submerged
in the detergent. Ultrasonically lubricate the firearm for approximately 3 minutes.
a.
Drain excess lubricant off the firearm, blow gentle air on firearm to evenly
displace lubricant, and/or wipe off any excess lubricant with a lint-free
cloth. Send a cleaning rod through the barrel to evenly displace the
lubricant. Reassemble the firearm.
