Air Supply
- Ensure that the tank air valve is closed before connecting the air supply.
- An air pressure of 90psi and an available air volume of 6cfm will be required to operate the unit.
WARNING!
Ensure air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi. Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous, causing possible damage and/or personal injury. Air supply must be equipped with regulator, water trap and oiler. [Diagram: Air supply hook-up with water separator, regulator, oiler] - Drain the air supply tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the unit.
- Clean the air supply filter weekly. For recommended hook-up, see fig.2 above.
- 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.
- Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
- The air inlet connection is 1/4"BSP.
Operation
WARNING!
Read and apply Section 1 safety instructions before using the cleaning tank.- Check the air regulator valve (fig 3.1) is off, and air inlet (fig.3.2) is disconnected from the air supply.
- Fill the tank to appropriate capacity (See specifications) with Sealey solvent, or a general purpose degreaser (contact your local dealer for supply). DO NOT use any other type of solvent.
Ensure you follow any instructions provided with the solvent.
- Connect washer to the air supply, aim flexible nozzle (fig.3.3) into tank and turn valve (fig.3.1) on. Check that solvent flows freely through the flexible nozzle.
- Place parts to be cleaned into the cleaning basket. Direct spray nozzle onto parts. Ensure any splash back stays inside the tank, if not reposition the spray nozzle. Adjust the air flow valve (fig.1.1) so that the minimal amount of output is generated according to the task.
- The supplied brush may be attached to the nozzle to assist cleaning if required.
- For stubborn and ground in marks, leave the parts to soak in the bottom of the tank. Place the turbo nozzle (fig.3.7) in the solvent and turn the turbo mode valve (fig.3.5) on. This will agitate the solvent and assist cleaning.
- When parts are clean, turn off the pump and leave the parts to drain in the basket or on the shelf.
- To assist drying the air blow gun (fig.3.4) may be used.
- When complete turn the washer off and disconnect from the air supply.
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 the fusible link activates.
