Using your unit
Installation Instructions
The equipment is shipped in two boxes. Verify all parts are included and
undamaged. One box has the complete drum rinse assembly, and the other has the
control box assembly, plus hoses.
-
Select the desired area to mount the control box.
Note: We recommend mounting the control box at a height of 6 feet or less. -
Attach the control box mounting feet to the back of the box using the four screws provided in the parts package.
-
Mount the control box to the wall using four of the screws and plastic anchors provided in the parts package.
Note: To drill holes for the plastic anchors, use a 5/16 inch drill bit. -
Place the drum rinse base over or near a floor drain, within 25 ft. of the control box.
-
Connect one end of the 25 ft. length ¾ in. hose to the hose barb on the drum rinse base, using a ¾ in. screw clamp.
-
Connect the other end to the hose barb on the control box marked “Outlet”, using a ¾ in. screw clamp.
-
Connect the facility’s water source to the “Inlet” side of the control box using a minimum ID hose of ¾ in. and a screw clamp.
-
Connect the electrical plug to a properly grounded 120V 15A outlet. To avoid personal injury and reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, always unplug the electrical plug from the 120V outlet before servicing the equipment.
Operation Instructions
-
Remove both bung plugs from the empty drum.
-
Place the empty drum bung side up next to the drum rinse base, opposite the spray nozzle.
-
Pivot the drum onto the drum rinse base using the rounded edge of the base.
-
Rotate the drum so that one of the bung openings lines up concentrically with the spray nozzle shaft. Lower the drum over the spray nozzle shaft until the drum top is resting on the 45º drum rinse base.
-
Ensure that the drum rinse control box switch is in the powered “ON” position. The green indicator light will be illuminated when the system is powered. To begin the rinse process, determine the desired cycle time for the intended cleaning application and press the related button to begin the cycle. When the cycle begins, a corresponding red light will become illuminated and will remain so during the entire cycle.
Note: Do not remove the drum from the base until the red light turns off, indicating the cycle is complete. -
The cleaning cycle will allow for three timed cleaning intervals and two fifteen-second draining intervals.
-
If the cleaning cycle needs to be changed or interrupted, press the “RESET” button to reset the existing operation.
After Use Instructions
- When the cleaning cycle is complete, allow the remaining rinse water to empty from the drum (typically 15 seconds).
- Pull the drum away from the spray nozzle, and once clear of the shaft, pivot the drum over the rounded edge of the base opposite the spray nozzle, and onto the ground.
- To power down the system flip the control box switch into the “OFF” position.
