cleaner into the oil. After 48 hours, the algae should be killed off and
the tank is ready for sweeping. If convenient and safe, you may use a
small jack to elevate the tank a few degrees on one side to allow the
majority of contaminates to collect on one end of the tank. This is the
end you will choose to sweep.
TANK SWEEPING SET UP
1. Set up your Tank Sweeper
near the tank to be cleaned, allowing
enough room for the inlet hose to reach the tank.
2. Install the outlet hose to a 55 gallon drum or filter back into the
tank being cleaned. (Note: use a clean and leak-free 55 gallon
drum.)
3. Connect the flex staff to the inlet hose via couplings, making sure
to use the locking pins so the locking levers do not vibrate loose.
4. Insert the flex staff adapter all the way down to the bottom of the
oil tank to be cleaned.
5. Connect the AC pump to a 120 power outlet, making sure it is a
grounded outlet.
NOTE# 1: The use of the inlet filter is important to protect the pump
from the contaminants. If the inlet filter is not used and heavy dirt is
drawn through, the pump may be damaged and the warranty will be
voided.
NOTE# 2: When ready to sweep the tank, be sure to check all
connections for leaks and be prepared to shut down the sweeper in
the event of a leak. Have your Emergency Spill Kit available and in
reach. It is best to have this operation performed by two people - one
operating and one standing by to help in the event of a spill.
TANK SWEEPING
1. Once all safety precautions have been complied with and you are
certain of good and proper connections with the outlet hose firmly
in the holding drum or tank, plug the AC pump into a grounded 12-
Volt AC socket. When ready, turn on the pump via the switch. This
begins to actuate the pump assembly and the suction through the
Intake flex staff adapter. The intake and discharge flex staffs can
be cut to accommodate your custom needs.
