B. General Information

CAUTION

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL LABELS, MSDS, AND

The Industrial Aqueous Parts Cleaner is an economical, safe, and innovative system designed to
clean parts, using an aqueous based solution. Aqueous solutions, when used to clean grease and oil,
must be disposed of properly. Consult your local environmental management agency for additional
guidance and other potentially hazardous materials compliance requirements.

Install your parts cleaner on a flat, level surface in an area provided with adequate ventilation. Avoid
repeated or prolonged breathing of vapors. Do NOT use compressed air to dry parts as this may
cause a high concentration of vapors in the immediate area. Local exhaust ventilation should be used
in areas of high vapor concentration. Provisions for determining and maintaining adequate ventilation
are the responsibility of the operator.

Make sure the parts cleaner is connected to a properly grounded power source. Check serial plate for
power requirements.

Do NOT allow the parts cleaner to operate unattended.

This equipment is designed for use only with Aqueous Based Solutions. Do NOT add any other
chemicals to the cleaning agent including, but not limited to, kerosene, fuel oil, gasoline, or
chlorinated solutions. The use of any other solutions could potentially cause a hazardous condition.

CAUTION

DO NOT ALLOW HEATER TO OPERATE UNATTENDED FOR

LONG PERIODS, SUCH AS EVENINGS OR WEEKENDS.

Avoid contact with eyes or skin. Wear protective eyewear, gloves, and clothing.
Operation should be conducted in a manner, which prevents splashing, or spillage. Any spills should

be promptly and properly cleaned up. Soak up all spills with absorbent material. Remove and dispose
of all soaked material in accordance with regulatory requirements.

This unit is NOT intended for outdoor operation.
Do NOT leave solution-soaked rags in parts cleaner or in uncovered containers.
Do NOT obstruct the cover. It is designed to close automatically in the event of a fire. The safety link

and cover closing mechanism must be intact. Do NOT substitute with any other type of cover
positioning device. Do NOT leave large objects in the parts cleaner or hang anything on the cover
that could prevent the cover from closing in the event of a fire.

Do NOT place heavy objects on edges or front of sink. Although this parts cleaner is designed to be
stable, uneven weight distribution could cause a hazardous condition.

Do NOT contaminate cleaning solutions with gasoline, alcohol or flammable liquids.
When cleaning carburetors or other fuel supplying components: remove all gasoline into a proper

disposal container before placing the component into the parts cleaner.
Do NOT spray aerosols into or around this machine. Install the equipment in an area away from heat,

sparks, and open flame. Never put hot parts into the solution.
Do NOT use compressed air to dry parts. Be sure parts, especially brake parts, are completely dry

prior to reassembly.
Turn unit "OFF" and close lid when equipment is not in use. This will reduce evaporation.
