I. PRECAUTIONS/DANGERS Read this entire manual before attempting to install your KleenTec jet washer. You will be less likely to make mistakes if you have a grasp of the “whole” picture. DANGER 1. Your machine uses HIGH VOLTAGE electricity. Obtain the services of a qualified electrician for all electric work. 2. Do not use any petroleum base chemical or solvent, or any flammable products in your jet washer. 3.
cleaning solutions in a spray washer generally are not “hazardous wastes”. To be considered a hazardous waste a hazardous waste by the U.S. Government, the solution has to have one or more of the following (4) characteristics: a. IGNITABILITY – A solid waste is a hazardous waste if it is a liquid and a representative sample and has a flashpoint less than 140F. b.
Your jet washer automatically cleans parts by spraying them with a hot, detergent and water solution that is recirculated. The operator loads parts into the basket, shuts the door (lid), and starts the cleaning cycle. During the cleaning cycle, the parts basket rotates through spray curtains, which are created by, spray nozzles located above, below, and outside the turntable.
THE WASH CYCLE/FILTRATION When the door is closed, the 0-60 minute “WASH” timer starts the wash cycle as soon as it is turned. Generally, a 20-minute wash cycle is more than sufficient to remove the contaminants. During the wash cycle, the solution hits the parts and then returns to the tank via a removable filter basket located beneath the turntable. A limit switch assures that the wash pump can only operate when the door is closed.
1. SHIPPING DAMAGE: IF ANY DAMAGE IS FOUND, NOTIFY YOUR CARRIER IMMEDIATELY AND SAVE ALL CRATING MATERIALS FOR THE CARRIER’S INSPECTOR TO EXAMINE. FAILURE TO PROMPTLY REPORT DAMAGE COULD RESULT IN DENIAL OF YOUR CLAIM. A trucking companies procedure for handling damage claims is as follows: 1. Immediately send out an inspector. An inspection report is filled out on the spot, a copy of which is given to the customer; 2. The CUSTOMER has to call the carrier to request a claim form; 3.
III. 4. ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP: The voltage, phase, and amperage draw of the machine are listed on the serial number plate. The wiring diagram is either with this manual or inside the control box (make sure the amperage draws listed on the siring diagram and serial number plate coincide). After the electrician connects power, he should check rotation of all motors. Hopefully, the electrician can be present for “start-up” in case a problem arises. 5.
3. The detergent should only leave an acceptable amount of residue on the parts. For new parts in particular, you may need a detergent that is “free rinsing”. 4. To be used in a jet washer, the detergent needs to be “low foaming”. To insure the satisfaction of our customers, KleenTec has developed its’ own line of detergents and additives. IV. START-UP PROCEDURE CAUTION Do not start this procedure until you have read this manual in its’ entirety.
7. Turn on the heating element by turning the heater toggle switch on. Allow 11/2 hours for the water temperature to reach 150F. 8. Turn on the oil skimmer using the on/off switch. 9. When the water temperature has reached at least 140F, add detergent following the detergent manufacturers directions. You can determine the water temperature by dialing the thermostat knob backward until you hear the heat contactor “clunk” open to shut-off the heating elements.
V. MAINTENANCE Assign the responsibility for your jet washer to one person to avoid abuse and neglect. DAILY 1. 2. 3. 4. Check the water depth which should be 11” (1” below the top edge of the filter basket); Clean any spray holes that are clogged. If any solution spilled onto the painted surfaces, wipe it off with fresh water. Clean out the removable filter basket. WEEKLY 1. Clean the oil skimmer, removing any build-up from the wiper blades and drainage canals. 2.
wirewheel away from the turntable rim by loosening the spring tension. Pull the turntable straight up until its’ shaft comes out of the bearing assembly. 3. Remove the front screen. 4. Pump the water (we recommended an air operated diaphragm pump) into one or more drums. As stated earlier in this manual, you can normally re-use this water many times before disposal is required. 5. Scrape the sludge out of the tank and handle it according to governing regulations. 6.
VI. TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE SYMPTOM PROBLEM/REMEDY Nothing works-heat or pump 1. Breaker is off/on machine 2. Check all control fuses 3. If breaker keeps tripping, or control fuses keep burning out consult your dealer Cleaning is poor 1. Wrong detergent, low detergent concentration, or hard water 2. Clogged nozzles 3. Solution is too dirty 4. Turntable is not rotating (see below) 5. Solution is not hot (see below) 6. Low output from pump (see below) 7.
Pump motor comes on but not pumping or pumping very little 1. Water level is too low 2. Pump is rotating backwards (see arrow on motor) 3. Pump is broken 4. Solution is foaming 5. Spray manifolds or filters clogged with dirt 6. Solution temperature is too high/boiling 7. Something caught in pump Pump motor won’t go on, but gear motor works 1. Pump motor has internal problems. Call factory. 2. If motor doesn’t run check motor contacts. Pump & gear motor is not working 1. Defective motor starter 2.
