1 OWNER S MANUAL ROTARY SURFACE CLEANER Models 105C, 105F, 105CW, & 105FW Revision 2.01

2 ROTARY SURFACE CLEANER WARNING HIGH PRESSURE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE IS 4000 P.S.I. Any fluid under high pressure, from spray or leaks, can penetrate the skin and cause serious tissue damage. Therefore, extreme caution must be exercised when using any high pressure equipment. If you are injured, see a physician immediately. DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE CUT OPERATING PRECAUTIONS 1. Handle the cleaning unit carefully. Never point the rotating nozzles at yourself or anyone else. 2. Never permit any part of your body to come in contact with the fluid stream. Never attempt to remove nozzles, disassemble or repair equipment without first doing the following: a. Shut off pressure washer engine or electric motor b. Squeeze trigger gun to release pressure between the pressure washer and the surface cleaner. c. Disconnect the hose from the surface cleaner. d. Remove nozzles or disassemble as required. 1. Inspect and tighten all fluid connections before use. Never exceed 4000 P.S.I. 2. Never attempt to plug a hose leak with any part of your body, adhesive tape or any other makeshift device. Do not attempt to repair a spray hose, replace it instead. 3. Always wear protective eye ware and foot ware while operating the surface cleaner. 4. Never attempt to alter or modify any part of this equipment; doing so could result in a system malfunction, injury, and void the warranty. 5. Never leave equipment unattended. Keep unit away from children, pets, or anyone not familiar with high pressure cleaning equipment. 6. Never begin to use equipment without clearing debris from the area to be cleaned. 7. Never attempt to use equipment without adequate lighting. 8. Never attempt to clean objects or surfaces that protrude from surface. 9. Always operate cleaning unit at a safe rate of speed. 10.Never tie off trigger gun. Serious injury could result if the unit should malfunction. Always operate the unit with sure footing, never over-reaching. 11.Never run chemicals through cleaning unit. This may result in a premature system failure and will void warranties. 1

3 EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE 1. Inspect unit daily. 2. Avoid unit abuse and neglect. 3. Tighten rotating bar, bolts, and fittings as needed during daily inspection. 4. Check for leaks and repair as required. 5. Check for water streaming from the swivel by-pass ports; some leaking is normal (see troubleshooting below) REQUIRED TOOLS 1. Check with distributor for repair kits and all necessary repair tools. 2. Tools required: Allen wrench, 5/8 open end wrench, snap ring pliers, flathead screw driver, hammer, and vice grips. TROUBLE SHOOTING TROUBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Insufficient pressure Pressure set too low Increase pressure Plugged nozzle Clean or replace Nozzle worn Replace nozzle Incorrect nozzle size Change nozzle Excessive vibration Clogged Nozzle Clean or replace Rotating bar bent Replace Swivel shaft bent Replace Spray bar doesn t spin Seal malfunction Replace Bearing failure Replace Snap ring dislodge Reinsert snap ring Seal has drag Allow break-in Streaking pattern Clogged Nozzle Clean or replace Water flowing from Seal is worn Replace Seal; swivel by-pass ports Replace rear shaft if required. OPERATING PRESSURE AND FLOW The Rotary Surface Cleaner will operate at a minimum flow of psi and a maximum flow of psi. To determine your pressure washer s flow rate and pressure, refer to your operating manual. 2

4 NOZZLES Determine what size nozzle orifice your pressure cleaning system has. The best way to determine nozzle orifice is by looking at the original nozzles recommended with your cleaning system. EXAMPLE: Nozzle reads 2503 Power Nozzle 25 Indicates nozzle spray pattern. 03 Indicates nozzle orifice size. When installing nozzles make sure that V grove in the nozzle is parallel to rotating bar; note orientation prior to removal. SEAL REMOVAL 1. Remove the four socket head cap bolts from the top of the swivel. 2. Remove the swivel rear shaft. 3. Remove the internal retaining ring. 4. Remove the back-up spacer. 5. Remove the seal using a flat-head screw driver to pry out seal. Do NOT scratch the walls of the seal housing. SEAL REPLACEMENT 1. Apply oil to outer surface of the new seal along the O-ring 2. Insert the seal into seal housing. Make sure that the U-CUP portion of the seal is facing downward. 3. Position the seal and then lower into seal housing. 4. Press the seal to bottom of seal housing by hand. Keep seal as level as possible. Avoid seal misalignment, this could result in premature seal failure. 5. Re-insert the back-up spacer. Make sure that the seal and back-up spacer are seated properly to allow for the installation of the retainer ring. 6. Install the internal retaining ring. Make sure that the flat surface of the retainer ring is facing up. If the rounded surface is facing up, the retaining ring may unseat itself from its grove when pressure is introduced to the swivel. Also, make sure that the retaining ring expands into its grove. A mistreated or bent retaining ring will result in swivel failure. 7. Apply a thin layer of grease the rear shaft and gently but firmly press the shaft into the seal. Keep the rear shaft as straight as possible to avoid damaging the seal. 8. Re-install swivel rear shaft bolts. See Figure 5 for a diagram of swivel components. 3

5 TESTING SWIVEL REPAIR 1. Connect all hose and fittings according to the manufacturer s instructions. 2. Start the pressure washer and send high pressure water through swivel. 3. Allow the spray bar to spin for a period of 3-5 minutes during break-in period. During this period, the seal will seat itself. TROUBLE SHOOTING REPAIR PROCEDURE TROUBLE Swivel head will not come off. SOLUTION Install a 1/4 N.P.T. male plug into the swivel inlet. Then insert a long Phillips-head screwdriver into swivel outlet and gently tap screw driver head with hammer and remove swivel head. Bronze back-up spacer will not Invert swivel and gently tap come out of housing on swivel outlet. side or use an EZ Out tapping device to tap into bronze ring. (If back-up spacer is damaged during removal it is recommended to replace it). Sparybar will not spin Make sure internal retaining ring is installed. NOTE: Do not allow the Rotary Surface Cleaner to go into a vibrating motion induced by excessive RPMs. If you experience excessive vibration, consult the factory. NEVER RUN CHEMICALS THROUGH THE SWIVEL! The swivel is intended to handle water only (cold or hot) maximum temperature = 212; F. Pressure rating is limited to a maximum of gpm and 2000 RPM. 4
