SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following Safety Precautions must be observed when uncrating, installing and testing this Basil® 3500 Cage
and Bottle Washer. WARNING indicates potential for personal injury and CAUTION indicates potential for damage to equipment. For emphasis, certain Safety Precautions are repeated throughout the manual. It is important
to review ALL Safety Precautions before uncrating and installing the unit.
1
WARNING – PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD:
Use a forklift to move unit.
WARNING – LACERATION HAZARD:
Wear gloves to protect your hands when removing bolts.
WARNING – BURN HAZARD:
Allow piping to cool before inspecting piping and/or cleaning supply line strainers or valves.
Except for an emergency, do not open door when cycle is in progress. In a emergency, first stop cycle
by pressing STOP touch pad and wait for water flow to stop. Wear appropriate Personal Protective
equipment (PPE) whenever reaching into chamber.
When checking automatic stop feature, wear appropriate Personal Protective equipment (PPE) and
open chamber door slowly. Hot water/steam may be sprayed through door opening if door is opened
during a cycle.
WARNING – SLIPPING HAZARD:
To prevent slips, keep floor dry. Promptly clean up any spills or condensation. If spilled liquids are detergents or other chemicals, follow safety precautions and handling procedures set forth on detergent or
chemical label and/or Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
CAUTION – POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
Once three-phase power is connected, check pump for correct rotation. Incorrect pump rotation may
result in pump damage and improper cleaning action.
When removing adhesives from stainless steel, use a solvent specially formulated for that purpose. Rub
in a back-and-forth motion (in same direction as surface grain). Solvent rubbed in a circular motion or
applied with a wire brush or steel wool on door and chamber assemblies can be harmful to stainless
steel. Do not use solvents on painted surfaces.

WARNING – BURN HAZARD:
• When checking automatic
stop feature, wear appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) and open
chamber door slowly. Hot
