SHIPPING PROCEDURE
This model has been pressure tested, carefully inspected and packed, completely assembled, ready for installation when shipped, except attachment of Nozzle, Nozzle Guard (on Model 5-B only) Drain Screen.
INSPECTION WHEN RECEIVED
Upon delivery a complete inspection should be made. If any damage has occurred in transit, the transportation company is responsible, and its local agent should be requested to immediately inspect, make notations on the receipt, and file claim.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Establish a Regular Cleaning Program
Empty and clean all refuse or waste containers in service, including those only partially filled, daily, or at least once a week. The more they are cleaned, the longer they last. Clean food containers promptly after each use. The speed, ease and savings in cost with which this can be done with this model fully justifies its use. It is a "Must" if good housekeeping and the best sanitary conditions are to be maintained. When foul and odorous containers are allowed to accumulate, they attract and provide breeding places for rodents, flies and other vermin.
Location
This Can Washer should be located in an enclosed area sufficiently heated to prevent freezing, as close as practical to supply lines and floor or other suitable drain, and where most convenient for use. A cement or tile floor is most desirable.
Pressures
This model is adaptable for use with various water pressures from 15 Ibs. and up, depending on the size of the container. Its efficiency increases as the water pressure increases up to 50 Ibs. P.S.I. Higher pressures atomize the spray, which reduces the force of impact, speed, and effectiveness. However, if the Fountain Brush Attachment is used for cleaning exterior surfaces, higher water pressures should be used. If the pressure is less than desired, secure a booster pump from your supplier With a water pressure of 25 Ibs. P.S.I. or even less, there may be a knock in the water line, and we recommend that every installation be provided with a Shock Arrestor consisting of a 1 inch pipe 18 inches long (min.) installed on each water supply line as shown in Pig, No. 1.
BASIC INSTALLATION
(See Fig. 1)
WE DO NOT MAKE THE INSTALLATION. The responsibility for the installation and compliance with your local Code is that of the licensed plumber or whoever makes the installation.
Position the Can Washer in the location selected on a level floor. Make sure the floor is level, as this is necessary for complete drainage. To do this, place a spirit level on the floor, not on the bowl. If necessary, use shims of water-proof corrosion resisting material under the base to mate the floor level. Note that the bowl is set on the pedestal with a ½” slant towards the drain.
Fasten the base firmly to the floor to prevent loosening of pipe connections. To do this, mark the position of each bolt on the floor, using the base as a pattern. If the floor is concrete or tile, use an appropriate concrete anchor to secure the unit to the floor. If the floor is wood, drill pilot holes 5/16 inch in diameter and 2 inches deep and use rust-proof square head lag bolts ½” inch in diameter by 2 inches long. Connect the drain to a grease trap, or in such a manner as required by your local Code.
If your Code requires a vacuum breaker, it should be installed on the water supply line between the nozzle and spring valve (See figure 1). It may be any distance from the Can Washer, but it must be at least 18 inches above the highest container.
SELECTION OF PLUMBING INSTALLATION
You can adopt any installation for cleaning containers which best fits in with your plumbing and meets local Code regulations and whichever you adopt, this model will cut the time, reduce labor cost and do a better job. It can be easily changed to any other installation selected. If you wish maximum efficiency and sanitation, you should conform to the following recommendations of the U.S. Public Health Service and the American Society of Sanitary Engineering, even if necessary to alter some of your plumbing and provide such other facilities as required, especially that of providing an ample supply of hot water at sanitizing temperature, (180 deg. F.) — a basic requirement for a complete sanitary system.
WATER CONSUMPTION
The quantity of hot water consumed in cleaning containers depends on their sizes and the water pressure. The consumption per minute of operation, at various pressures, is approximately as follows:
15 |
P.S.I. |
7 gallons |
25 |
P.S.I. |
10 gallons |
35 |
P.S.I |
12 gallons |
50 |
P.S.I. |
14 gallons |
This consumption is not continuous, as there is an interval after the cleaning of each container while the operator replaces it, and during that time no water is used, as it is shut off automatically. When this model is installed and the cleaning is done according to the following recommendations, the largest standard garbage container can be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized in thirty (30) seconds, and the consumption of hot water per container is only one-half of the above GPM listed above.
RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend that the cleaning be done daily, or at least once a week; that the hot water has a minimum temperature of 180 deg. F.; that the hot water has a pressure of 15 to 50 P.S.I., (depending on the size of the container) and the use of the Fountain Brush for cleaning outer surfaces.
