Receiving
The shipment should be thoroughly inspected as soon
as it is received. The signed bill of lading is acknowledgement, by the carrier, of receipt in good condition
of the shipment covered by our invoice.
If any of the goods called for on this bill of lading are
shorted or damaged, do not accept them until the carrier makes a notation of the shorted or damaged
goods on the freight bill. Do this for your own protection.
NOTIFY THE CARRIER AT ONCE if any hidden loss
or damage is discovered after receipt and request him
to make an inspection. If the carrier will not do so, prepare an affidavit to the effect that you have so notified
the carrier (on a certain date) and that he failed to
comply with your request.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO COLLECT FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE AFTER YOU HAVE GIVEN THE CARRIER A
CLEAR RECEIPT.
File your claim with the carrier promptly. Support your
claim with copies of the bill of lading, freight bill,
invoice, and photographs, if possible.
Although AMMCO’s responsibility ceases upon delivery of shipment to the carrier, we will gladly assist in
tracing lost shipments. Our willingness to assist in
every possible manner does not make AMMCO
responsible for collection of claims or replacement of
lost or damaged materials.

OPERATION
NOTE: DO NOT ADD AIR TOOL OIL OR OTHER
OILS TO AIR INLET OF WASHER. UNIT IS
EQUIPPED WITH A COALESCING FILTER
TO CLEAN AIR SUPPLY OF ANY OIL. OILS
COULD DAMAGE THE AIR PUMP AND
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
1. Connect shop air to washer. The air regulator on
the washer is pre-set and cannot be adjusted. The
maximum air pressure that can be supplied to the
washer is 200 psi.
2. The pump will automatically function when the
valve lever is depressed on either the brush or the
flex spout.
NOTE: IT WILL TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO PRIME
THE FLUID SYSTEM THE FIRST TIME IT IS
USED. AFTER THE INITIAL PRIMING, DO
NOT LET THE PUMP RUN DRY. DAMAGE
TO THE PUMP COULD OCCUR WHICH
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
3. Store cover on pan when the washer is not in use
to help prevent evaporation of cleaning solution.
This also prevents any asbestos in the dried solutions from blowing around the shop.
4. The cover can be used as a catch basin when
doing brake work on the floor or on a service/alignment rack. Thoroughly rinse cover into
pan after using.
DISC BRAKES
1. Simply saturate the entire brake assembly using
the flex spout prior to working on brakes.
NOTE: NEVER USE THE BRUSH TO CLEAN
BRAKE FRICTION MATERIAL THAT WILL
NOT BE REPLACED NOR DRUMS OR
ROTORS THAT WON’T BE TURNED. ANY
OIL OR GREASE THAT MIGHT BE ON THE
BRUSH COULD BE TRANSFERRED TO
THESE BRAKE COMPONENTS.
DRUM BRAKES
1. Before loosening or removing drum, use the flex
spout to wet the inside of the drum and brake
assembly; first, between the drum and backing
plate. Then, if the vehicle had adjustment slots;
remove the plug and insert the flex spout to wet
the inside.
2. If you are doing an inspection, wet the inside of
the drum everywhere except the area between the
10 o’clock and the 2 o’clock to make it easier to
determine if the wheel cylinder is leaking.
3. Pull the drum off approximately one-inch and wet
the brake assembly again.
4. Remove drum and rinse in pan of washer.
5. Check for wheel cylinder leakage and finish washing the assembly.
6. If after inspection the brakes do not need servicing, allow them to air dry before reinstalling the
drum.
NOTE: NEVER USE THE BRUSH TO CLEAN
BRAKE FRICTION MATERIAL THAT WILL
NOT BE REPLACED NOR DRUMS OR
ROTORS THAT WON’T BE TURNED. ANY
OIL OR GREASE THAT MIGHT BE ON THE
BRUSH COULD BE TRANSFERRED TO
THESE BRAKE COMPONENTS.
7. When doing a complete brake job, thoroughly
clean off shoes, drums, and backing plate.
8. Place small brake components in parts basket for
convenient cleaning and reassembly.

DISPOSAL OF FILTERS AND CLEANING SOLUTION
The AMMCO 1350 and 1450 Brake Washers
have been designed to comply with federal,
state, and local regulations concerning the disposal of liquid and solid wastes. However,
these regulations do vary from place-to-place
and it is the shop owner/manager’s responsibility to comply with all applicable regulations.
FILTER STOCK (MODEL 1450)
If the filter sock becomes full, there will be standing water in the pan. Remove drain grate, pull up
on filter sock, and discard sock in accordance with
you local waste disposal regulations in plastic bag
provided. Replace with new sock. The Filter Sock
is included with the Model 1350 - see CLEANING
SOLUTION Section for intended usage.
FILTER MAT (MODEL 1350)
Solid wasted collected on the filter mat should be
placed in a plastic bag and disposed of in accordance with your local regulations. The entire filter
mat should be replaced when it becomes worn or
damaged. Dispose of filter mat in a plastic bag in
accordance with your local regulations.
SOLUTION CARTRIDGE FILTER (Model 1450 only)
When solution does not flow in a continuous
stream, replace the cartridge filter on the side of
the barrel. Unscrew filter canister, remove and discard dirty cartridge filter in accordance with your
local waste disposal regulations in plastic bag provided. Replace with a new cartridge and
hand-tighten canister.
CLEANING SOLUTION
Every four months, or more often as required, the
cleaning solution should be replaced to allow the
washer to continue its cleaning efficiency. Tape or
clamp valve levers open so the cleaning solution
can be pumped down a sanitary sewer in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations.
For the Model 1350, place guns in Filter Sock
before pumping solution into sewer.
NOTE: NEVER DISPOSE OF CLEANING SOLUTION
INTO A STORM SEWER.
When most of the solution has been pumped out
and the fluid is not a solid stream, add one or two
gallons of water to the washer pan. Disconnect air
supply to the washer when the clean rinse water is
almost gone.
NOTE: DO NOT LET PUMP RUN DRY. DAMAGE TO
PUMP WILL OCCUR THAT WILL VOID
WARRANTY.
Un-tape valve levers, fill barrel to the “FILL LINE”
with water, and add one quart of AMMCO cleaner.
(Model 1450). Add 1⁄3quart of AMMCO cleaner to
3 gallons of water for Model 1350.
NOTE: WEAR EYE PROTECTION AND RUBBER
GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THE CONCENTRATED CLEANER.
When replacing the cleaning solution, it is a good
practice to replace all filters at the same time.
It is a good practice to establish a regular routine
for replacing all filters and cleaning solution, such
as every month or two months. The interval for
your unit will depend on local conditions, types of
vehicles serviced, and your volume of brake work.
Also, the interval for changing the solution may be
different than that for the filters.

MAINTENANCE
continued from previous page…
CLEANING BRUSH
When brush gets dirty from brake fluid, axle
grease, etc.; clean brush with a degreaser or solvent. Clean brush in solvent tank, NOT in brake
washer. To prolong brush life and to decrease
maintenance, use a shop rag for removal of heavy
grease deposits.
OIL BOOM
The oil boom absorbs oil and lubricants but not
water. Wring out boom into waste oil tank monthly.
The boom can be re-used until it will not float.
Dispose of oil boom in accordance with your local
waste disposal regulations.
AIR FILTERS
Check and drain both air filter sediment bowls on
a regular basis. They can be drained by simply
pushing up on the valve located at the bottom of
the bowls. The cleanliness of your shop air will
determine how often the filters on the washer will
need draining. Replace filter elements when airflow is diminished.
Parts Identification
The following pages include full parts breakdowns
with exploded view illustrations to help with ordering re-placement or spare parts. Assemblies are
noted where it is recommended that individual
parts not be ordered separately. These parts are
available only as assemblies because some parts
are staked, pinned, or press fitted, then drilled,
machined, or bored. Close tolerance must be
maintained in assembly. Every effort is made to
supply accurate exploded views, however, due to
interim changes in manufacturing operations,
some units may not be exactly as illustrated.
