or combustible materials, as there is an explosion risk.
9 When cleaning parts ensure that nothing in the tank, including any parts basket, is in a position that would prevent the lid from closing
fully if and when the fusible link activates.
WARNING! DO NOT modify the lid or jam it open. Keep the lid and holding screws in place, tight and in good working order.
WARNING! DO NOT attempt to perform welding on the unit for any reason. DO NOT weld near the unit.

4. ASSEMBLY
4.1. As you unpack the product, check contents. Should there be any
damaged or missing parts contact your supplier immediately.
4.2. Assemble the gate valve (A) which connects the tank to the
reservoir, directly to the reservoir as shown in g.1, ensuring that
a rubber seal is tted to both ends of the valve.
4.3. Screw the air regulator and safety valve assembly (B) to the
reservoir as shown in g.2 ensuring that the rubber seal provided
is in place.
4.4. Assemble the two upper tank support arms (C) into the sockets
provided on the tank but do not tighten the ttings yet.
4.5. Place the upper tank onto the support arms and lower it down
until the tank outlet drops into the top of the gate valve (A). Fix the
tank to the valve by tightening ring (Q) as shown in g.4. Tighten
the hex socket bolts at either end of the upper tank supports (C).
Fit handle into support arm brackets (C) and tighten.
4.6. Mount the cleaning brush in its stowage position on the underside
of the lid over to the left hand side. Feed the brush tube (T)
through the hole in the right-hand side of the tank and connect it
to outlet (R) on the head of the regulator /safety valve assembly.
5. AIR SUPPLY
5.1. Ensure that the air regulator valve is closed before connecting the air supply.
5.2. An air pressure of 40-60psi and an available air volume of 6cfm will be required to operate the unit.
WARNING! Ensure air supply is clean and does not exceed 110psi. Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will shorten the product
life, and may be dangerous, causing possible damage and/or personal injury.
Air supply must be equipped with regulator & water trap.
5.3. Drain the air supply tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the unit.
5.4. Clean the air supply filter weekly. For recommended hook-up, see diagram below.
5.5. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose internal diameter
should be 10mm and fittings must have the same internal dimension.
5.6. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
5.7. The air inlet connection is 1/4”BSP.
6. OPERATION
6.1. FILLING THE UNIT WITH CLEANING FLUID
6.1.1. Make sure that the drain cock at the base of the unit is closed as
shown at (F) in fig.6.
6.1.2. Turn the lever (D) to the right which is the air discharge position.
This allows the fluid to drain more easily out of the upper tank
and into the lower reservoir. See fig.7. Open the gate valve (E) by
turning the lever to the vertical position.
6.1.3. Shut the pressure regulator by pulling and turning the pressure
regulator knob (G) anticlockwise. See fig.8.
6.1.4. Pour cleaning fluid into the upper tank and allow it to drain down into
the lower reservoir. Continue to fill the unit until the level has risen to
the maximum mark on the level indicator tube.
6.1.5. Before using the unit ensure that all filter grids are in place.
WARNING! Wear approved safety eye protection, mask and
gloves. If solvent gets on skin or in eyes wash thoroughly with
water and take any other action as required by the solvent
instructions.
6.2. COMMENCING BRUSH WASHING
6.2.1. Close the gate valve (E) and turn lever (D) to the left as shown in fig.10.
6.2.2. Connect a compressed air line to the connector shown in fig.11.
6.2.3. Pre-set the air pressure by pulling and turning the air regulator knob clockwise until the gauge shows a pressure between 90 & 110psi.
6.2.4. Turn the flow regulator (M) anticlockwise until fluid flows from the brush. See fig.12.

6.3. SAFETY VALVE
6.3.1. The uid outlet head (S) shown in g.12 is a movable, weighted
item that acts as a safety valve. If the ow regulator (M) is
opened too much, excess air will be discharged from underneath
the head. Take care to set the ow regulator (M) to an adequate
but not excessive ow of air.
6.4. AIR BLOW GUN
6.4.1. The unit is also equipped with an air blow gun for drying
components after cleaning. When the nozzle of the gun is
twisted clockwise the gun is shut off. When the nozzle is twisted
anticlockwise the gun is on. The first movement of the trigger
produces a medium flow of air. When the trigger reaches its full
travel the air flow changes to a more gentle blow.
6.5. WASHING BY DIPPING
6.5.1. Open the gate valve (E) and turn lever (D) to the left as shown in
fig.10. The cleaning fluid will rise from the reservoir into the tank
and will be kept in constant motion by the air passing through the
liquid itself.
6.5.2. The intensity of the agitation can be adjusted by means of the flow
regulator (M).
WARNING! DO NOT allow excessive agitation to take place as
this may cause splashing and overlling of the tank.
6.5.3. To turn the agitation off, close the gate valve and turn the lever (D) to the middle position.
6.5.4. To return the fluid to the reservoir, turn lever (D) to the right and open gate valve (E).
6.5.5. To empty the reservoir, open the drain cock (F).
When cleaning parts ensure that nothing in the tank, including any parts basket, is in a position that would prevent the lid
from closing fully if and when the fusible link activates.
7. MAINTENANCE
7.1. From time to time clean the grids in the bottom of the tank.
7.2. Waste deposits that accumulate in the bottom of the reservoir can be removed by removing drain plug (G).
