Installation
1. UNPACKING: 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.
If no damage is found, remove the banding that secure the machine to the pallet. Remove the machine from the pallet. Be careful not to damage the casters mounts on the underside. Install the four steel casters provide in the box inside the washer cabinet.
2. LOCATIONS: Your jet washer will generate hot water vapor. Choose a location where the hot water vapor cannot harm anything in the surrounding area.
The process of removing wet parts from the cabinet will inevitably result in some wash solution spilling onto the floor, possibly causing slippery conditions. IF YOUR FLOOR IS SMOOTH, PLACE ONE OR MORE TRACTION MATS AROUND THE MACHINE AND AVOID PLACING THE WASHER NEAR A WALKWAY.
If your washer is permanently wired, keep in mind that at least 30″ is needed for service behind the machine. If you want the machine to be against a wall, plan your various service connections so that they can be easily disconnected. The site chosen must be level for proper turntable rotation and for the optimum water level in the tank. Your Hot Jet washer is not portable once filled with water. Once in place level the unit from front to back and from side to side by shimming the frame and legs.
3. MACHINE POWER HOOK-UP: If you do not have a lock out breaker box on your machine one should be installed between the power source and the washer electrical panel. A licensed electrician is advised for performing the hook ups.
START UP
1. Please read this entire manual before attempting to install your MaxJet Spray Washer. You will be less likely to make mistakes if you have a grasp of the “whole picture.”
2. The vibration in route could have loosened one or more wire connections. Before connecting power, remove cover off of the electrical box and tighten all connections. Your machine utilizes high voltage. Use the services of a licensed electrician or qualified in house people for all electrical work.
- The heating element(s) and the pump/motor will be ruined if they are turned on when there is no water in the tank. Therefore, don’t turn on electric power to the machine unless the pump and heat controls are off or unless the tank is filled with water to the proper level.
4. INCOMING PLUMBING CONNECTIONS: If your machine has the automatic water fill option, you need to connect a fresh water line to the unit. There is a 1/2” solenoid valve for the auto-fill.
5. If your jet washer is made with mild steel and it will rust unless you use the correct detergent and follow the correct start-up procedure. Specification for Quality Systems CWC 100 Spray Washer Detergent are provided and this or similar detergent should be used. Make sure the brand you are using is safe on mild steel and has an adequate concentration of rust inhibitors. When installing the unit, don’t fill the tank with water unless you have the time needed to heat the water to 140° to 175° F, add the detergent, and run the wash cycle for at least one (1) hour to coat the steel with rust inhibitor. Again, read this entire manual before starting the installation so that you know what is involved.
6. Do not use any petroleum base chemical or solvent or any flammable products in the washer.
7. The heating element(s) or gas train and pump/motor can be damaged if the water level drops too low. Even if your machine has the optional “low water shut-off or automatic water fill”, check the water level daily when in use. The proper water level is to the top of the filter tray in the bottom of the cabinet. The water level will drop about one inch when pump is started.
8. Clean the filter debris tray daily.
- If you are not using Quality Systems #229 Spray Washer Detergent, be sure the detergent is suitable for your jet washer and application:
—Contains an adequate level of rust inhibitors
—Low foaming/designed for jet washers
—Safe for the metals you will be cleaning
—See “Chemical Selection”
9. Cleaning will be poor and the heating element(s) and pump/motor may be damaged if the tank and spray manifolds are not cleaned according to instructions.
10. On three (3) phase washers, your electrician must check the pump/motor rotation. For a brief interval, run the pump/motor to check rotation. The motor will be damaged if you run it I backwards for an extended period. You can check rotation without having water in the tank but don’t turn the pump back on until water is added. Protect your environment and protect your business by handling your dirty cleaning solution properly. Your local water district can provide you with sewer disposal guidelines.
OPERATIONS TEST
Before turning on the electrical power to the machine, make sure the wash timer or sequencer in the “off mode. If your machine has a power cord, turn the power on and off with your circuit breaker. Read “Start Up” numbers 3, 4 and 6 about the proper water level and the potential for rust. Don’t start this test unless you can spend 2 to 3 hours to heat the water, add detergent, and run the wash cycle for 1\2 hour.
1. Open the door to the cabinet.
2. Fill the tank with water so that the water level is in accordance start up instructions. (To the top of chip tray located in the bottom of the cabinet)
3. The thermostat is factory preset for most applications. The recommended temperature is 175 F. Turn on power to the machine using timers.
- Set the 7 day or 0-12 heat timer. Make sure they are in a run time setting and switch is on. Leave the heat on for the balance of this test.
CHEMICAL SELECTION
The detergent is responsible for as much as 50% of the overall cleaning results. Thus, the cleaning results you get from your MAXJET Hot Jet Spray Washer will be as good as, or as bad as the detergent you select. Make sure the detergent is:
- Safe to use in a mild steel cabinet if this is your construction;
- Safe to use on the different types of parts you will be cleaning and;
- Low foaming when used in a jet washer.
Quality Systems offers a proven product that is safe on aluminum parts as well as steel. For time-tested results, request #229 Spray Wash Detergent.
GENERAL CLEANING TIPS
If parts are caked with heavy dirt or excessive grease build up you will
want to scrape the bulk of it off before placing in washer. This will allow the hot soap and water to penetrate and break down the oils. Remember all the debris that goes into the washer will eventually have to be cleaned out.
When loading a batch of parts, space the parts so that the spray can hit all surfaces. Always try to keep the load centered on the turntable ie. If a part has blind holes or pockets, try to have these orifices face downward so that the part doesn’t hold water. Long pan shapes are best cleaned in a vertical position. Secure to the tee bar to hold in position while cleaning. For the best flash drying, remove the parts right after the wash cycle while parts are still hot. The parts will not dry inside the machine due to the hot water vapor and the steam can remove the rust inhibitor causing rusting if left over night.
In the first couple of days of operation, observe the chip tray after every wash cycle to determine how often it will need to be cleaned. Clean the filter tray at least once a day.

OPERATIONS TIPS
- Assign the responsibility of your jet washer to one person to avoid abuse and neglect. This person will check the water level every day; have the tank cleaned out periodically, etc.
- Due to evaporation and drag-out, you will need to add water to the tank every day washer is used. The importance of the water level has been stressed throughout this manual (read “Precautions” numbers 3 and 6).
3. Turn on the heat circuit with the circuit breaker or with the optional 7-day time lock. Allow one to one and a half (1.5) hours to heat the solution from 70 s F to the operational temperature range of 160° to 180° F. If your washer has the optional 7-day timer and you want the washer operational at 8:00 AM for example, set the clock to come on at 6:30 AM.
Hint – To save energy, turn the heat off one (1) hour before you stop using the machine. The water will stay hot enough for effective cleaning.
- Do not add detergent or start the wash cycle until the water is hot. Otherwise, the solution may foam.
- Add the detergent according to the supplier’s instructions. You can either pour the detergent directly into the tank or into spraying floor area. Run at least a 15-minute wash cycle to thoroughly mix the detergent in solution. Weigh the detergent to determine an accurate volume measure. Don’t make the common mistake of using a one pound coffee container thinking it also holds a pound of detergent. You solution can be used until it is too dirty to clean effectively. You may have to add small amounts of detergent when you add water to keep at maximum cleaning strength.
In the future, you may want to increase or reduce the detergent concentration until you find the ideal concentration for your application. If the detergent is leaving an excessive residue on the parts, reduce .the concentration. Consult the factory if you cannot obtain the desire results. In some cases, the hardness of your water could create a problem.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
FOR DAILY USE
1. Check water level. The proper level is to the top of the chip basket
2. If equipped, inspect and service as required the in-line strainer that is installed between the pump and spray manifolds.
3. Clean any nozzles that are clogged. If clogging persists, clean the filter basket, tank, and/or spray manifolds.
4. Clean out the filter basket.
5. If you have optional “Total Solids” bag filter, check pressure reading and clean or replace filters if there is appreciable pressure drop across the filters.
6. Clean and solution spilled onto the painted surfaces of the machine by wiping down with fresh water.
7. Run the oil skimmer – preferably after the water has set quiet over night. The manual skimmer timer has a maximum time of 15 minutes and this is sufficient to remove oil daily. Optional 7- Day time can be set to run in off hours as desired. Collected oil may be place in your waste oil tank for disposal.
MAINTENANCE
APROXIMATELY EVERY 6 MONTHS
- Lubricate the turntable bearing with water resistant #2 lithium grease Remove low water shut in rear of washer. Clean float switch and shaft to insure it is free to move.
MONTHLY
1. Check the sludge level in the tank. If build up is greater than one inch, clean out the tank. It is important that sludge does not encapsulate the heat elements.
TANK CLEAN OUT TIPS
1. Cut power to the machine or make sure pump and heat circuits are off.
2. Drain tank following government regulations. Use a hose to flush tank sediment
towards the drain located on side. Tank access can be gained by removing front cover and chip tray.
3. Heat and charge solution with detergent.
