To select which chemical you would like to use, point selector switch to desired chemical using arrow on selector switch. (See Diagram) To select the rinse mode, place selector switch arrow to the position that is straight up from the chemicals. (See Diagram) REFER TO THE FOLLOWING CLEANING PROCESS INFORMATION FOR DETAILED CLEANING PROCEDURES Operation of Side Bottle Filling Feature: 1. Make sure machine is primed and the power switch is in the on position. 2. Select product you would like to fill bottle with. 3. Insert down tube of bottle fill unit into your ready to use container. 4. Depress blue button until ready to use container has reached desired height. Charging the Unit: The charger will recharge a fully discharged battery (pump will not run) overnight (10-12 hours). The charger is charging the battery when the 3-pronged plug is illuminated. The charger is permanently connected to the battery. It should be left plugged into an outlet any time the cleaner is not in use. This will maintain the battery in the fully charged condition. If the cleaner is stored without being plugged in, the battery will drain over a 1 to 2 year period. If the battery is drained, it can be restored with the charger and no damage is done to either the charger or the battery. 05/2007 4 of 7
Maintenance: Daily: 1. Run 1-2 gallons of clear water through the pump while the selector is in the rinse position (Run approximately 2 to 4 minutes). NOTE: FAILURE TO RINSE THE PUMP AFTER USE WILL VOID THE WARRANTY ON THE PUMP. 2. Rinse both spray nozzles and accessories while you are rinsing the pump. 3. Turn the unit off with the switch. Relieve the pressure in the discharge hose by pulling the trigger on the spray gun after the switch has been turned off. 4. Check the unit for any damage or leakage. 5. Plug the unit into a 110 volt outlet to recharge the battery. 6. If unit is going to be stored where it can freeze, drain the water reservoir and run the pump until there is no more water in the system. Allow the system to thaw before you start the pump. Troubleshooting: 1. If the spray is weak or there is no spray. The pump does not operate at full flow if there is air in the system. Air can enter the system from several sources: a. Out of water fill the water reservoir and prime the system. b. Out of chemical replace the chemical container and prime the system. c. Foot valve is clogged clean or replace the foot valve in the reservoir. To access the foot valve, remove water fill cap and pull tube out of the tank. 2. The pump does not contain any field serviceable parts. It should run for 800 to 1000 hours with no maintenance needed. If leaks occur in the pump, it needs to be replaced. Contact your sales representative for a replacement. 3. Pump pulses. There is a pressure switch in the pump. If the pump is pulsing, this switch is cycling and the life of the pump will be greatly reduced. a. Make sure there are absolutely no air leaks in the system. b. Make sure all connections are tight and there are no water leaks in the system. c. Make sure it is properly primed and have chemical running through the system. d. The switch can be adjusted. Adjust pressure switch as a last option, serious damage can occur by adjusting the pressure switch. It is best to have the switch adjusted by taking to a professional service department. To adjust the switch, remove the blue cover. In the black end of the pump there is a hole. Using a 5/64 hex wrench, turn the screw in the hole CW until the pump operates smoothly. Then turn it an additional ½ turn. If you adjust the switch too far, the pump will leak and need to be replaced. 05/2007 5 of 7
