If any item is missing, contact your supplier. Position in a well-ventilated area away from sparks, heat and
open flames.
LOCATION
GROUND WIRES
Connect the green ground wire (right side of cabinet) to a
grounded object in the facility using the ring terminal.
Ring Terminal
Note: The pump and metal tube that inserts into each
pail are bonded.
DOOR HANDLES
The cabinet has 4 doors. The 4 door handles are located on the inside of each door for shipping purposes. Re-locate the door handles to the outside of the doors.
LEVELING
• Level the machine using the adjustable legs.
• Remove the cover on the "Air Input" (right side of machine) and attach an air supply adapter
(not supplied).
AIR SUPPLY
• Connect a male air fitting (not supplied) into the female Air Inlet on the unit located on right
side. The male air supply adapter is 1/4" NPT.
• Connect the female air supply hose to the male air fitting. The air supply hose must be at least
3/8" inside diameter. The air supply pressure must be at least 85 PSI.
The supply air must be free from contaminants such as water, dust, rust, tar and grease. If the
air supply is not clean and dry install a moisture filter (not provided). The operation and longevity of the pumps and other components depends on clean dry supply air.
• To prevent damage to the Diaphragm Pump an internal Air Pressure Regulator has been
installed to limit the air pressure to 85 PSI. Do not install a second air pressure regulator or use
a pressure set below 85 PSI.
SOLVENT SELECTION
The adhesion quality of automotive paint has dramatically improved in recent years. The choice of
solvent is critical. Only use quality compliant solvent that is formulated for your paint and intended
for use with automatic spray guns cleaners. DO NOT USE CHLORINATED SOLVENT.
PAIL SETUP
There are 3 pails to fill, 2 with solvent and 1 with tap water on the right. Open the drain valve which
controls the flow of solvent to the wash pail. See the photo, The Structure Figure 1 on page 4 and the
photos below.

• Nozzle Extension, one installed (left tank); 2 push on nozzle extensions to accomodate different types of spray
guns.
• Trigger Clamp and Plug Kit - 2 Pieces
If any item is missing, contact your supplier.
The filling of each pail is described in turn.
Use protective gloves, eyewear and respirator when filling pails.
PAIL SETUP - SOLVENT RINSE PAIL
Method - To fill the clean solvent pail move the clean pail, second pail from the left,
outside of cabinet.
The procedure follows.
• Open the door to the base cabinet and lift the second pail from
Drain Hose
left outside of the cabinet.
• Fill the pail with solvent to the over flow pipe.
PAIL SETUP - SOLVENT WASH PAIL
• Ensure drain hose is in the wash solvent pail, see photo on right.
• Open drain valve (vertical position) and pour 16 L of solvent
into the wash tank to drain to the wash pail through the drain hose.
INSTALL BLOW GUN, WASH GUN AND WHIP LINE COUPLER
Remove the Blow Gun, Wash Gun and Whip LIne Coupler from the Acessory
Kit bag (inside the tank) and install on the right side of unit by inserting the
appropriate air tubes into the tools and hanging them on the brackets
(Blow Gun and Wash Gun on the right side and Coupler on the front).
Use the labels below the tubes as a guide. See photo on right.

PAIL SETUP and ADDITION OF UNI-RAM AQUA-KLEEN (RIGHT SIDE, WATER)
Aqua-Kleen is a state-of-the-art cleaning additive with an enhanced
corrosion inhibitor for optimal protection of your expensive spray guns.
• Open the door to the base cabinet
• Move the Drain Valve handle to the "closed" (horizontal) position

• Move the pail outside the unit. Remove the two filters. Pour a
full bottle of Uni-ram Aqua Kleen into the pail and add tap
water until the combined liquid level reaches the bottom of
the filter holder. Replace filters.
• Insert the manual wash suction tube into the pail between
the Filter Holder and the wall of the pail. Move the pail
into the cabinet.
CLEANING OPERATION
RIGHT TANK (WATER)
This tank is used to clean spray guns, cups and parts. There are two modes of operation - Manual Wash and
Manual Rinse. NOTE: WATERBORNE PAINT DRIES QUICKLY! TO MINIMIZE HARDENING
OF THE PAINT, BEGIN CLEANING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER COMPLETION OF
THE PAINT JOB.
PRE-CLEAN
• Disconnect the spray gun from the air hose. Pour paint
from the conventional cup (when present) into a 20 L waste
pail (not supplied). With disposable cups, use a squirt bottle
to pre-clean the paint channel.
CLEAN SPRAY GUNS
• Ensure the the Flocculation Drain Valve under the reservoir is in the closed position so that the used water
accumulates in the reservoir under the Work Screen.
• Connect the whip line at the front of the unit to the air connection on the spray gun. This prevents water
from reaching the air channel of the spray gun and speeds cleaning.

CLEANING WITH THE WASH GUN
• To clean with the Wash Gun, make sure
the Brush Control lever on the front of the
unit is in the "Close" position (horizontal).
Place the Spray Containment Chamber on
the Work Screen in the wash tank. Place the
nozzle of the Wash Gun into the paint channel (where he cup joins the spray gun) as
shown in photo. Place the cap of the spray
gun in the Containment Chamber.
• Step on the foot pedal and squeeze the trigger of the spray gun while squeezing the
trigger of the Wash Gun to send a pressurized flow of water through the paint channel.
Use the Wash Gun Flow Control on the side
of the cabinet to adjust the flow as necessary.
The Spray Containment Chamber contains
the spray. Allow water to flow for about 20
seconds to clean the paint channel.

TO ADJUST THE FLOW CONTROL
• Use the Flow Control to adjust the flow of water
on the Water Gun and the Brush.
To increase the flow loosen the locking nut
and rotate the dial anti-clock wise and then ighten the
locking nut.

Water Gun Brush
CLEANING WITH THE BRUSH
• If necessary, use the Flow-through Brush to clean the outside of the spray gun. Make sure the Brush Control
Lever on the front of the unit is in the "Open" position (vertical). Step on the foot pedal to send a pressurized
flow of water through the Brush. To control the flow of water through the Brush, use the Brush Flow Control
on the side of the cabinet as necessary.
• Use the blow gun to dry the inside and outside of the spray gun.
• To maximize the dying operation, dry the paint channel with the Blow Gun while squeezing the trigger of the
spray gun. As a final check for dryness, remove the cap and check it for moisture.
NOTE: THOROUGH DRYING OF THE GUN BOTH INSIDE AND OUT WILL PREVENT
CORROSION.
