OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REMOVAL OF THE GFCI PROTECTION DEVICE ( ELECTRICAL CORD ) WILL VOID
THE WARRANTY ON THE MODEL 2725 AND MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR SHOCK.
INPORTANT DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS WITH A WIRE GAUGE SIZE SMALLER THAN 12/3.
FILLING AND USING CLEANING COMPOUND

CLEANING RESERVOIR
- Do not let Parts Washer get over contaminated. If solids cover the heater it can burn out. The spray manifold can over build with scale and residue that will reduce flow.
- Remove caps on end of spray manifolds, use a pick or drill bit by hand to clean out spray holes, close Parts Washer lid, turn pump on for 2 seconds, replace caps hand tight.
- Make sure the cord is unplugged before draining reservoir.
- Remove the large basket, basket support and pump screen. After cleaning is complete, clean pump screen and place it back in position. Grease top of spindle and place basket support and basket back in position.
- Clean out dirty solution, when the solution is down to the bottom,. Clean and rinse out the bottom of reservoir.
- Take care in cleaning around the heating element and low water float switch.
- Clean the float switch thoroughly wiping it of all grease and metal filings.
- Fill with chemistry, allow heat up time.
FOAMING
- Foaming can be caused by many different reasons such as, cold bath temperature, lack of cleaning compound from use, extreme amounts of certain greases or gear oil, too long of a service interval, over contaminated bath, and over time the salts from water that is added to the bath.
