SAFETY INFORMATION & INSTRUCTION MANUAL Please read, understand, and follow all safety information contained in these instructions prior to the use of this device. Retain these instructions for future reference. Intended Use: This Meguiar s Professional Metering System is intended to meter and mix automotive, water-based cleaning chemicals from concentrate. It is expected that all users be fully trained in the safe operation of this product, as well as with the use of the chemicals. Use in any other application or by other users has not been evaluated by Meguiar s and may lead to an unsafe condition. Explanation of Signal Word Consequences WARNING: CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury and/or property damage. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury and/or property damage. CAUTION: To reduce the risks associated with product failure/bursting due to excessive water pressure, excessive water temperature, or other mechanical damage: Water supply must not exceed 125psi (8.6 Bar), and water temperature must not exceed 150 o F (66 o C). Do not use Teflon tape to seal internal plastic threads as the extra thickness of the tape may cause the plastic to crack. Use a non-welding liquid sealant instead, and DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. WARNING: To reduce the toxic, environmental, or fire risks associated with use of cleaning chemicals: USE CARE WHEN HANDLING HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS. Always adhere strictly to the chemical manufacturer s health and safety information found on the product label and in their MSDS, and carefully follow all directions for use. CAUTION: To reduce the risks associated with hazardous water pressure: Always turn off water supply before servicing. CAUTION: To reduce the risks associated with hazardous water pressure: When servicing unit, be sure that replacement parts have been installed according to the drawing. 11/02/10 Page 1 of 8

INSTALLATION: Note: All installations must conform with local plumbing codes and use approved backflow preventers. Pressure indicating tee is to be installed with existing faucets according to local plumbing codes in the state of Wisconsin and any other state that requires the use of a pressure indicating tee. WARNING: Water supply should not exceed 125 psi and water temperature must not exceed 150 F. A. Mounting and water supply: Remove the two cover retainer screws and the cover from the Meguiar s Professional Metering System assembly. Mount the unit(s) in position on the wall and locate the position for the mounting screws. Drill all of the holes into the drywall using a ¼ diameter bit for use with the included #10 screw and anchor set. (If mounting the Meguiar s Professional Metering System to wood and you do not plan to use the included anchors, drill 1/8 diameter holes.) Insert the anchors into drilled holes and hammer them into the wall until they are flush with face of wall. Assemble all of the #10 screws with a Phillips screwdriver into the anchors so the screw heads are sticking out of the wall approximately 1/8. Mount the Professional Metering System by inserting the screw heads through the keyhole slots in the base and tighten the screws. Replace the cover and screws. The water inlet is equipped with a female garden hose fitting (with strainer washer) for attaching a water supply hose. The fitting may be removed to permit direct connection to a 3/8" NPT pipe. The unit is designed so water can be supplied to either side by interchanging the pipe plug and female hose fitting. Note: Apply pipe dope, hand tighten, then turn 1-½ times with a wrench. Do not over tighten. WARNING: Do not use Teflon tape to seal internal plastic threads as the extra thickness of the tape may cause the plastic to crack. Use a non-welding liquid sealant instead. 11/02/10 Page 2 of 8
B. Chemical supply: WARNING: Wheel Brightener D140 should be placed on position number "one" exclusively to prevent cross mixing of chemistry. Such mixing could result in an explosive reaction. Place the chemical containers in a convenient location not more than 6 feet below the Meguiar s Professional Metering System (greater lifts will reduce injection capacities). Insert the vinyl supply tubing with the foot valve ends into the chemical containers. Cut the vinyl tubes to any convenient length that will allow them to extend from the bottom of the chemical container to the proportioner inlet barbs. (See Figure 1). Adhesive labels are provided for product labeling. C. Chemical injection adjustment: WARNING: USE CARE WHEN HANDLING HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS. Eye and Skin Protection is recommended Chemical feed rates are controlled by metering tips screwed into the proportioner barbs. Select a tip for each barb using Table 1 or 2 as a guide. TIP RECOMMENDATIONS Note: All tip recommendations are based on a water pressure of 40 psi. Water pressure between 20psi and 80 psi will have little effect on ratio accuracy. Anything outside that parameter may require tip adjustment.

CAUTION: When dispensing Hyper Dressing and Last Touch Spray Detailer using 4 gpm eductor, do not dispense into small secondary bottle. For use when filling large containers only. To dispense chemicals into a small secondary bottle (ie.16oz or 32oz) at a 4gpm flow rate may pose a splash hazard.

3. OPERATION: The Meguiar s Professional Metering System is now ready for use. Depressing a push button opens the valve, allowing water to flow through the chemical proportioner that mixes chemical at the desired rate. The buttons are spring loaded to prevent accidental overflow if unattended, but may be converted to locking buttons by cutting off the tab at the notch. (See Figure 2). Pushing the button and tubing it 1/4 turn clockwise at the end of its travel allows the valve to lock on. This makes it unnecessary for the attendant to hold the button in while filling large containers. Turning the button in a counter-clockwise direction will release it, allowing the valve to shut off. WARNING: To reduce the toxic or environmental risks associated with use of cleaning chemicals: -If this modification has been made, the operator will need to pay close attention to ensure that over-flow does not occur. -Should over-flow occur, clean-up according to the instructions found in the chemical manufacturer s health and safety information found on the product label and in their MSDS 4. SERVICING: CAUTION: TURN OFF WATER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING. A. Proportioner fails to draw chemical: 1. Pinch outlet tube to create back pressure, which will cause unit to prime. The foot valve will keep the inlet tube primed thereafter. 2. Insufficient water supply pressure. 20 PSI is the minimum allowable. B. Proportioner stops drawing chemical: 1. Inspect foot valve for dried chemical or dirt. Soak in hot water to clean. 2. Proportioner metering tip clogged with dried chemical. Remove tip and try injecting in hot water. If there is no suction, remove proportioner and soak in hot water to clear interior passages. 3. Inspect proportioner to ensure that there are no mineral deposit build-ups on the nozzle. If so, soak proportioner body in deliming solution. (Remove all parts attached to proportioner before soaking in deliming solution.) Note: Use care when handling hazardous chemicals. C. Proportioner continues to draw chemical after water valve closes: Chemical supply is higher than bottom of discharge tube creating a natural siphon. Lower the supply vessel or hang up outlet tube after use. D. Valve Malfunction: Check that the button moves freely in & out and that a "click" can be heard when the button is pushed and released, indicating that the magnet is activating the plunger properly. Remove cover. To inspect internal parts, unscrew magnet housing and carefully pull off the enclosing tube so as not to drop the plunger, kick-off spring, and spacer. Check for dirt or damage impeding plunger and kick-off spring movement. Inspect the diaphragm, making sure the two small pin holes (bleed hole) in the diaphragm convolution are clear to allow the valve to close. CAUTION: When servicing unit, be sure that replacement parts have been installed according to the drawing. 11/02/10 Page 5 of 8
