The KLEAN/pak is an industrial grade, portable mass disinfection system that is designed to provide disinfecting solution over a large
area with an easy to use standard garden hose water supply. Using the KLEAN/pak, with appropriate disinfecting solutions, gives a
quick and easy way to disinfect larger items and items with areas that are dicult to reach with a wipe.
Since the KLEAN/pak is not an aerosol dispenser, the spray droplets are larger and won’t get carried away by the wind, resulting in
more disinfecting solution making it to the items being disinfected. Ideal for indoor and outdoor disinfection of items such as outdoor
furniture, gates and doorways, vehicles, shopping carts, and golf carts.
Dispensing disinfectants comes with a risk of injury, requiring proper training in hazards
and use.
1. It is your responsibility to read and understand these instructions
2. It is your responsibility for the safe handling and application of the disinfectants you
will use
3. It is your responsibility to know that your equipment is in operable condition
4. It is your responsibility to use appropriate personal protective equipment
Failure to follow these guidelines may result in disinfectant exposure and injury to yourself
or others.
MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS
A safety related message is identied by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to
indicate the level of risk involved with a particular hazard. Per ANSI standard Z535.6, the
denitions of the four signal words are as follows:
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
CAUTION
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury.
NOTICE is used to address practices not related to
personal injury.
1.0 PUT ON PPE (PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT)
1) Put on your PPE
+
+
Dispensing disinfectants can be a risk. Keep yourself safe by;
• Understanding the operating manual before use. Obtain safety information at KLEAN-pak.com
• Always wearing appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) like eye protection, gloves,
etc. Recommendations are found in the disinfectant manufacturer’s TDS and SDS (Technical
Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheet).
• Never apply liquids to live electrical equipment
• Do NOT spray ammable alcohol solutions from this device
• Determine suitability of the disinfectant for your application by referring to EPA’s List N:
Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2.
https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/list-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2
Unscrew the ll lid by turning counterclockwise. Fill reservoir to bottom of ll lid. Disinfectant may seep out if over lled.
Mixing dierent types of disinfectants can cause harmful reactions and/or produce unpredictable
results. For example mixing ammonia or peroxide with bleach causes a reaction that can overow
or burst the reservoir while generating toxic fumes. Never mix dierent types or dierent brands
of concentrate. Always rinse reservoir and passages clean before changing concentrate types.
Make sure that the disinfectant concentrate in the reservoir is the right type for the situation.
(Refer to concentrate manufacturer’s recommendations for proper disinfectant choice.)
Components of the KLEAN/pak may be subject to degradation by harsh disinfectants such
NOTICE
Clearly label the contents of the reservoir according to the Technical Data Sheet and local requirements. Secondary container
labeling requirements may be found in standards such as:
• GHS Labeling: The Globally Harmonized System of Labeling, United Nations GHS (Rev.8) (2019)
• ANSI Z129.1 Precautionary Labeling Preparation
• Right-to-Know (RTK) labels per OSHA’s Federal Hazard Communication Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200
• Hazardous Material Information System (HMIS) labeling per DOD INSTRUCTION 6050.05
Transfer of disinfectant concentrates to secondary containers may be avoided if the original packaging is compatible with the KLEAN/
pak’s 2.75” (70 mm) screw cap.
3.0 ATTACH THE METERING HEAD
as bleach, D-Limonine and other strong solvents. Avoid long-term storage of disinfectant that
may damage the reservoir, lid, or other components. It is the responsibility of the end user to
determine the disinfectant compatibility between the KLEAN/pak and any solutions to be stored
in it. Some solutions may require additional dilution with water. Consult the solution manufacturer
or distributer if necessary.
3) Attach metering head
Insert the pickup tube into the reservoir and screw on the ll lid, align the waterway with the reservoir handle.
Debris entering the reservoir can plug up the concentrate intake passages resulting in questionable disinfection. Avoid potential
problems by using clean funnels, reservoir openings, caps, and contents. Lay the metering head and pickup hose on a clean area
during lling. Rinse it clean before recapping the reservoir.
Turn the concentrate ratio knob to the required concentration per the disinfectant manufacturer’s Technical Data Sheet. You may
need to use the dilution equivalent table to convert concentration from other units to oz/gal (mL/L).
EXAMPLE: Concentrate is specied for dilution of 2 oz/gal. Set the concentrate ratio knob to 2 oz/gal.
EXAMPLE: Concentrate is specied for dilution of 20 mL/L. Set the concentrate ratio knob to 20 mL/L.
To increase accuracy of ratios specied at less than 1 oz/gal (7.8 mL/L), solution may be diluted in the reservoir. Mix the solution at
1 part concentrate to 9 parts water. Multiply the specied ratio by 10 to determine the concentrate ratio knob setting.
EXAMPLE: Concentrate is specied for dilution at 0.3 oz/gal. Mix the solution at 1 part concentrate to 9 parts water. Set the
concentrate ratio knob to 3 oz/gal.
EXAMPLE: Concentrate is specied at 6 mL/L. Mix the solution at 1 part concentrate to 9 parts water. Set the concentrate ratio knob
to 60 mL/L.
The knob may be turned to the RINSE position which shuts o chemical feed when you need to spray water only.
Make sure the Flow Control Valve is o and the correct nozzle and Outlet Hose are securely
CAUTION
attached to the metering head before the hose line is charged.
Disinfectant concentrates can be ineective if not used at the correct concentration. Make sure
that the concentrate ratio knob is set to the correct concentration for the type of disinfectant
being used.
You must have a fully functional backow preventer that meets all applicable codes in your area

A. Attach 5/8” (16 mm) garden hose to the water source. More hose can be added to the metering head inlet as needed, if the
pressure at the metering head inlet is at least 30 PSI (2 bar) while owing.
B. Screw the inlet coupling on the KLEAN/pak onto the hose.
C. Attach 5/8” (16 mm) x 50ft (15 m) garden hose to the outlet threads of the KLEAN/pak.
D. Screw at fan nozzle onto the garden hose output. Screw the wand into the nozzle. The wand connection is a standard extension
pole thread. Use extension for longer reach and safer distance from disinfectant spray.
E. Stretch hoses straight. Kinked or overly twisted hoses will restrict ow and aect performance.
6.0 SPRAY
installed at your water source connection to protect against any concentrates entering your
drinking water supply.
Dispensing disinfectants at uncertain concentrations will give questionable results. Changing
hose, nozzle, or adding a shuto will cause additional back pressure which can prevent intake of
concentrates, or cause unintentional back ow of water into the reservoir, articially diluting its
contents resulting in ineective disinfection.
Never add more than 50’ of 5/8” (15 m of 16 mm) hose between the metering head and the nozzle
Never install a shuto between the KLEAN/pak and the nozzle.
Use only the at fan nozzle supplied with the KLEAN/pak.
Always turn the ow control knob to full open to ensure full inlet ow and accurate concentration
mix.
Do not install a shut o valve between the Klean/pak and the fan nozzle. Do not use nozzles other
than the fan nozzle provided. Other nozzles may not match the ow of the fan nozzle and may
adversely aect the concentrate ratio.
The air gap between the metering control and the reservoir is needed to equalize the reservoir
pressure and ensure a proper vacuum. Do not seal or restrict this air gap. Doing so may aect
concentrate ratio adversely.
6) Spray
AB
Pressurize the hose line. Turn the ow control valve fully on to start water owing through the KLEAN/pak. Grasp the wand with the
hose feeding upward from below the wand, directing spray away from people. Keep the wand above the hose to avoid contact with
disinfectant dribble. Always turn the control valve completely on or o.
Avoid directing disinfectant onto the faces of yourself and other personnel. Improper use of
disinfectant could result in death or serious injury, including damage to the eyes. To reduce the
chance of injury, you and other personnel must wear eye protection at all times.
The KLEAN/pak is rated to ow 2 GPM (7.6 LPM) when supplied with 70 PSI (4.8 bar) inlet pressure. The KLEAN/pak can be used
at any pressure from 30 PSI (2 bar) up to 300 PSI (20.6 bar). Flow increases as pressure increases, and decreases as pressure
decreases at inlet pressures 70 PSI (4.8 bar). The amount of disinfectant produced depends on your inlet pressure.

Droplet size becomes smaller as pressure increases. Smaller droplets have a greater tendency to stay airborne which can result
in unintentional airborne dispersion of disinfectants in harmful ways. Windy conditions also contribute to unintentional airborne
dispersion.
The KLEAN/pak concentrate ratio knob is adjustable from zero to 11 oz/gal (85.9 mL/L). Water velocity in the throat of a venturi
creates vacuum which sucks uid from the reservoir into the water stream. The markings are calibrated using suction of water from
the reservoir at an inlet pressure of 70 PSI (4.8 bar) to the metering head (Water = 1.00 centipoise viscosity, 20 deg C, 1.00 gram/
CC). Concentrate rating is volumetric, not by weight.
Actual concentrations vary when concentrate has a viscosity, temperature, or density, dierent from calibration conditions. Higher
(thicker) viscosity results in weaker solutions. Higher temperatures result in increasing concentration. Higher densities result in
weaker solutions. Consult the SDS and TDS sheets from the disinfectant manufacturer.
Actual Concentrations vary when inlet pressure to the waterway diers from rated pressure.
• Increasing the water inlet pressure above 70 PSI (4.8 bar) causes more water to mix with a set disinfectant inow, resulting in
LOWER concentration than the label markings.
• Decreasing the water inlet pressure below 70 PSI (4.8 bar) causes less water to mix with a set disinfectant inow, resulting in
HIGHER concentration than the label markings.
Dilution Correction Factor
Below 70 PSI = stronger than expected • Above 70 PSI = weaker than expected
Compensated Knob Setting = Specied Knob setting + (Specied Knob Setting X Dilution Correction Factor)
EXAMPLE: Inlet pressure is 50 psi and concentration is specied at 4 oz/gal. Dilution correction factor = -20%. Compensated Knob
setting = 4 + (4 X -.2) = 3.2 oz/gal
EXAMPLE: Inlet pressure is 3.8 bar and concentration is specied at 31.3 mL/L. Dilution correction factor = -20%. Compensated
Knob setting = 31.3 + (31.3 X -.2) = 25 mL/L
The user must verify that the concentrate’s performance is suitable for use in their application. Always follow the disinfectant
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Test strips are available for the common types of disinfectants. Concentration of disinfectant sprayed from the nozzle can be checked
by collecting a sample and using a test strip. Adjust knob setting as required.
Operating the KLEAN/pak with 70 psi (4.8 bar) inlet pressure with ve gallons (20 L) of concentrate produces 2 GPM (8 L/min) of
disinfectant per minute.

12.0 SHUT DOWN AND CLEANOUT
SHUT DOWN
After each use, turn the concentrate ratio knob to the RINSE position. Use plain water to rinse o the KLEAN/pak and any undesirable
disinfectant deposits nearby.
Leave the concentrate ratio knob in RINSE when nished to minimize concentrate evaporation.
Disconnect hoses and secure the reservoir, wand, and fan nozzle between uses.
DEBRIS
Debris entering the waterway or the reservoir may interfere with operations.
The KLEAN/pak includes a debris screen on the waterway inlet. If the screen
becomes clogged with debris the device will ow less than intended. Remove
debris by shutting o the water supply and cleaning the screen.
Debris in the concentrate passageways can result in weak disinfectants. If
concentrate is weak:
1. Shutdown the water supply to the KLEAN/pak
2. Remove screw #1, spring #2, and concentrate ratio knob #3
3. Unscrew the lid and remove the metering head & pickup hose from the
reservoir
4. Inspect reservoir for particulate contamination and clean as required
5. Clean out concentrate passageways
6. Rinse o pickup hose, screw #1, spring #2, and concentrate ratio knob #3
7. Reassemble & resume operation
For years of service, periodically inspect your KLEAN/pak. Make sure the
hose and fan nozzle are in place. Look for debris in the bottom of the reservoir
If the KLEAN/pak is to be stored with disinfectant concentrate in it, use the provided spare
reservoir lid to replace the metering head and ensure no evaporation or leakage of concentrate.
Refer to disinfectant manufacturer’s TDS for recommended storage temperature.
Equipment subject to freezing conditions must be fully drained to avoid freeze damage.
