Danger Personal Injury and Property Damage hazard. May result in serious injury or death. May cause extensive equipment damage Warning Property Damage Hazard. May result in property or equipment damage. Personal Injury Hazard Hazard from sharp objects. May result in serious injury or death. Chemical Hazard May result in serious injury or death.
Requirements for Detergents and Sanitizers Detergents Remember, improper detergents may damage equipment! Use of the correct detergent in your Power Soak system is critical to its washing performance. If you are having problems with cleaning results, please contact the factory. Your new system requires a low-foaming, metal/aluminum-safe detergent that is safe for the hands. The detergent should have good grease cutting abilities but not have an excessively high pH level.
Operating Instructions 6
Preparing the System Filling the System At the beginning of each day or shift, fill the sinks with water that is metered to approximately the correct operating temperatures: • • • Wash sink (115°F / 48°C) Rinse sink (75°F / 24°C) Sanitizer sink (75°F / 24°C) All sinks should be filled to, but not above, the “waterline” marks. Fill the wash sink (the sink with the water jets) with water that is approximately 115°F / 48°C.
Adding Detergents & Sanitizers Manual Chemical Dispensing After the sinks have been filled with water, add the proper amount of detergent and sanitizer. The detergent goes into the wash sink (the sink with the water jets) and the sanitizer goes into the sanitizer sink (the last sink). Be sure to add the proper amount of chemicals to each sink. The amount to be used should be provided by your chemical supplier. Do not add the detergent or sanitizer to the sink prior to or during filling.
Controls and Features Start Button (green) Starts the washing action and starts the timer. Your Power Soak sink will run for four hours after this button is pressed. Stop Button (red) Stops the washing action and resets the timer. Starting and stopping the wash action To start the wash action, press the green “START” button. A strong “rolling” wash action should be present. To stop the wash action, press the red “STOP” button.
Controls and Features - Continued Loading and Using the Wash Sink The Power Soak is a “random loading” system. This means that Power Soak items are not racked for washing. Instead, they are randomly loaded one at a time. As items are brought to the system and scrapped, they should be immediately dropped into the wash sink. If there is no movement of items in the wash sink, or if items are stationary above the waterline, the system has been overloaded and some items must be removed.
Controls & Features - Continued Unloading the Wash Sink The employee responsible for pot washing should routinely pass by the Power Soak and remove clean items from the wash sink. Items that are not 100% clean can be quickly finished off with a scrub pad or dropped back into the wash sink for additional cleaning. Remember: it is not necessary to turn the wash action off to load or unload items from the wash sink. There are no moving parts within the wash sink that could cause bodily harm.
15 Controls & Features - Continued Deep Cleaning and "Night Washing" Extremely soiled items and pieces of cooking equipment that require regular, intensive cleaning can be washed in the Power Soak system overnight. Load the items to be deep cleaned into the Power Soak' s wash sink, turn the system on and leave it running overnight. The Power Soak will automatically shut down after the fourhour wash cycle.
Preventive Maintenance Your system requires minimal, routine preventive maintenance. As such, the following should be done on a routine basis to ensure that your system remains reliable: Daily Clean the liquid level sensors. These sensors are located on the side walls of the wash and sanitizer tanks. They are the white plastic discs with metal centers. Clean the sensor faces thoroughly. If cleaned regularly, a washcloth and soapy water are all that is required.

Troubleshooting 15
Facility Owner/Manager Section The only troubleshooting procedure that the facility owner or manager can perform is listed immediately below. All other procedures must be performed by an authorized service agency. To obtain the name of a recommended service agent in your area, please call the Metcraft, Inc. Power Soak Service Department at 800-444-9624. Pump does not work Please perform the following in order: • Drain the sink. • Turn off the circuit breaker for your sink.
Authorized Service Agency Section Hazard to untrained or unauthorized personnel. The following procedures are provided for use only by an authorized service agency. No facility owner, manager, employee or other unauthorized person should attempt to perform any of these procedures. To obtain the name of a recommended service agent in your area, please call the Metcraft, Inc. Power Soak Service Department at 800-444-9624.
Authorized Service Agency Section Pump does not work Look For Correction 1 No water in sink Fill sink with water 2 LIQUID LEVEL SENSOR dirty Clean LIQUID LEVEL SENSOR 3 No incoming power to unit Reset customer’s breaker in breaker control panel 4 Blown fuses Replace blown fuse – Refer to wiring diagram for correct fuses 5 Loose wires Tighten wires 6 LIQUID LEVEL CONTROL setting is too low See page 20 7 Defective LIQUID LEVEL CONTROL or SOCKET Check and replace as necessary 8 Tripped OVERLOAD
Component Operation and Checks The following checks should only be performed by qualified technicians using extreme caution. Electrical hazard to untrained personnel may result in electrical shock, burns, or death. Pump Contactor The thermal overload can be checked as follows: 1. If there is 208-230v across the coil (terminals A1 and A2) and the contactor does not pull in, the contactor is defective. 2. TURN POWER OFF AT BREAKER PANEL. 3. Remove the wires from terminals T1 and T3 on the thermal overload.
Component Operation and Checks Liquid Level Control and Sensor The liquid level control sends a trickle current (1/1000 amp) out terminal 5 to the liquid level sensor. If there is water in the wash sink, the current passes through it to the wash sink wall and back to the liquid level sensor to terminal 6. On some machines, the wire from terminal 6 is hooked up to a second probe instead of the wash sink wall. Reversing these 2 wires will not affect the operation.
Component Operation and Checks Timer The timer controls how long the pump will run after the "start" push button is pushed in. Two different timers have been used. They function the same but the settings differ. The timer settings should be as follows: MODE RANGE FACE NUMBERS DIAL SETTING ISSC Timer SF HRS 0 through 10 4 IDEC timer D 10H 0 through 1 4 When the "start" push button is pushed, the timer is activated and sends L1 power to terminal A1 on the motor starter/overload.

Remove impeller and impeller key from shaft. 5.
Motor and Pump Assembly Inspection and Repair of Components With pump wet end disassembled, clean all parts and check for worn or damaged areas. It is seldom economical on these pumps to repair damaged or worn parts. Therefore, when a part is found unusable, it should be replaced. Casing Clean and inspect gasket surfaces for damaged areas that would cause leaks. Check wearing ring surfaces for excessive wear.
Motor and Pump Assembly Assembly Procedure The PowerSoak pumps are easy to put together. The hardest part, requiring the most care, is installation of the mechanical seal parts. Study the exploded diagram and become familiar with the name of each part. The diagram shows the relative order of assembly, but also READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. 1. Make sure all of the parts are clean and ready for assembly. This means no dirt or pieces of old gasket in the joints between the motor, adapter, and casing.
Motor and Pump Assembly Assembly Procedure - Continued 10. Install the mechanical seal on the shaft sleeve by hand. A twisting motion may be needed to make it ride smoothly over the shoulders on the sleeve. Push it by hand until it contacts the seat, make sure the spring and spring holder line up properly. *(see note) 11. Install the snap ring using one hand to hold the snap ring pliers and the other hand to compress the spring.
Installation Guide The installation and initial operational check of your new system must be performed only by licensed and certified plumbers and electricians. Be sure to follow all applicable national and local electrical codes when installing the electrical supply and/or a new breaker. DO NOT connect the system using a power cord and plug or an extension cord of any kind. Please refer to the detailed installation instructions that were sent with your Power Soak system.
Providing Proper Electrical Service The system is completely pre-wired and tested at the factory, and a hard-wired connection from an appropriate power source junction box is all that is required. The installer is to provide a disconnect that should be incorporated in the fixed wiring. Properly sized watertight conduit, fittings and parts are required, as well as the appropriate gauge wire.
