Refer to the product's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive safety information.

4. Setup

The Diversey 4329 J-Fill Virex II 256 is designed for use with a compatible J-Fill dilution control system. This product is a concentrate and must be properly diluted before use.

1. Verify System Compatibility: Ensure your facility has a Diversey J-Fill wall-mounted water mixing station. This product is not designed for direct manual dilution without the J-Fill system.
2. Prepare the J-Fill System: Follow the instructions provided with your J-Fill dilution control system for preparing the unit for a new chemical cartridge.
3. Install the Product Bottle: Carefully insert the Diversey 4329 J-Fill Virex II 256 bottle into the designated slot on the J-Fill mixing station. Ensure it is securely seated to prevent leaks and ensure proper dilution. The J-Fill system automatically dispenses the correct amount of concentrate and mixes it with water to achieve the specified dilution ratio (typically 1:256 for Virex II 256).
4. Prepare Dispensing Containers: Have appropriate containers ready for the diluted solution, such as spray bottles, mop buckets, or automatic scrubbers. Label all secondary containers with the product name, dilution ratio, and date of dilution.

Important: Do not attempt to open or manually dilute the concentrated product without the J-Fill system, as this can lead to incorrect dilution and potential safety hazards.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the Diversey 4329 J-Fill Virex II 256 is properly installed in the J-Fill system, follow these steps for operation:

1. Dispense Solution: Activate the J-Fill system to dispense the diluted Virex II 256 solution into your chosen container (e.g., spray bottle, mop bucket). The system will automatically provide the correct 1:256 dilution.
2. Pre-Clean Surfaces: For optimal disinfection, always pre-clean heavily soiled surfaces before applying the disinfectant solution. Remove gross filth and heavy soil.
3. Apply Solution:
   • For Spray Application: Spray the diluted solution onto the surface from a distance of 6-8 inches, ensuring the surface remains visibly wet.
   • For Mop/Wipe Application: Apply the solution with a clean cloth, sponge, or mop, ensuring the entire surface is thoroughly wetted.
4. Observe Contact Time: Allow the surface to remain wet with the solution for the specified contact time to ensure effective disinfection. Refer to the product label for specific contact times for different pathogens. A typical contact time for broad-spectrum disinfection is 10 minutes.
5. Wipe or Air Dry: After the required contact time, wipe the surface dry with a clean cloth or allow it to air dry. No rinsing is typically required unless specified by local regulations or for food contact surfaces.
6. Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation during and after application, especially in confined areas.

Dilution Ratios and Use:

• Disinfection: 1:256 dilution (0.5 oz per gallon of water).
• General Cleaning: The same 1:256 dilution can be used for general cleaning and odor control.

Note: Diluted solutions are typically effective for a limited period. For example, solutions used for soaking rags may be good for one day, while solutions in spray bottles may be effective for up to one year, depending on storage conditions. Always refer to specific product guidelines for shelf life of diluted solutions.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity of the product and the J-Fill system.

Product Storage:

• Store unused concentrate bottles in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures.
• Keep the bottle upright and securely capped when not in use.

J-Fill System Maintenance:

• Regularly inspect the J-Fill mixing station for any signs of wear, leaks, or blockages.
• Clean the exterior of the J-Fill system as per its manufacturer's instructions.
• Replace empty concentrate bottles promptly to ensure continuous operation.

Disposal:

• Empty Concentrate Bottles: Dispose of empty concentrate bottles according to local regulations for chemical waste. Do not reuse empty containers.
