Instruction Manual

For your convenience, it is also recommended that a “T” valve
(not supplied) be installed on the base of your flow-through
nozzle that would allow you to connect to the SOLVENTsaver
hose in a more permanent fashion and permit you to easily
divert the flow of solvent from the flow-through nozzle to the
filtration element when the parts cleaner is not in use.
SOLVENTsaversarepackagedtwoinabox,withone
connector hose. This durable hose is to be used for both
SOLVENTsavers.
SOLVENTsavers are intended only for use with combustible
mineral spirits/petroleum hydrocarbon-based solvents. When
the SOLVENTsaver is connected and unit is operating, solvent
is evenly dispersed throughout the absorbent material removing
oil and grease build-up. If fine particulate filtration is needed,
the SOLVENTsaver II should be used. It has a 5 micron pleated
paper cartridge to remove particulate prior to the oil and
grease absorbing stage.

Operation
• GraymillsrecommendsthatwheninstallingSOLVENTsavers
for the first time, start with a clean batch of solvent and
makesurethattheunitdoesnotcontainexcessiveamounts
of sludge.
• Startingcleanandapplyingon-goingltrationduringdown

basis.
• Colorandclaritydonotnecessarilyindicatethecleanliness,
strength or effectiveness of the solvent. For example, diesel
engines and diesel related oils, lubes, and carbons leave
averydarkappearanceofthesolventevenafterithas
beencleansedbutthisdoesnotnecessarilyindicatealack
of effectiveness. The cleanliness of your parts is the true
indication of solvent effectiveness.
• ThelengthoftimethattheSOLVENTsaverwillcontinueto
cleanse solvent is relative to parts cleaner usage and the
dirt, oil and grease load.
• Inordertokeepthesolventclean,itisrecommendedthat
you filter solvent as often and as long as possible on a day-
to-day basis. When it appears that oil and grease are not
being removed from solvent, a change-out is needed.
• TomaximizethelifeoftheSOLVENTsaver,werecommend
rotating the filtration element a quarter-turn once a day.
DISPOSAL
Allow the filtration element to drain and dry thoroughly, then
place in a plastic bag for disposal. It is recommended that
theusercheckwithfederal,stateandlocalauthoritiesforany
special regulatory considerations before disposing.
