OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING WITH DETERGENTS:
1. Refer to "Detergent Cleaning Precautions" pg. 7 before working with
detergents. Be certain to wear protective safety attire as stated on pg. 10.
2. Quick connect the detergent injector between the unit outlet and the high
pressure hose.
3. Prepare detergent solution according to label directions. Never pump acids,
alkaline, abrasive fluids or solvents through the unit.
4. Your injector is equipped with an adjustment knob, you may adjust the amount
of detergent desired by turning the knob completely counterclockwise to
set at the maximum siphon rate.
5. Immerse the detergent strainer into the detergent solution to allow detergent
to siphon.
6. Turn the pressure control handle counterclockwise to lower pressure and
divert water flow through the soap nozzle.
NOTE:
This injection system is designed to apply detergents under low
pressure only. It will not allow detergent solutions to be introduced
into the system in high pressure mode.
7. To apply solution; unlock the trigger gun and squeeze the trigger. In a
few moments a detergent/water mixture will exit the low pressure nozzle.
Start spraying the lower portion of the surface being cleaned and move up,
using long overlapping strokes. Applying from the bottom up helps avoid
streaking. Allow to soak briefly. DO NOT allow detergent solution to dry on
the surface. (Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight to minimize
the chances of the detergent drying, which may result in damaging painted
surfaces.) Be certain to rinse a small section at a time.
8. When you finish washing, rinse by simply turning the variable pressure
control handle clockwise. It will take about 30 seconds to purge all detergent
from the line. For best rinsing results, start at the top and work down.
9. Siphon a gallon of water through the low pressure detergent injection
system after each use. This prevents the possibility of corrosion or detergent
residue causing mechanical problems during the next use.
SHUTDOWN:
1. Move the switch to the "OFF" position to turn unit off.
2. Turn the water supply off.
3. Pointing the gun in a safe direction, trigger the gun momentarily to relieve
any trapped pressure.
4. Once pressure is relieved, disconnect the nozzle.
5. Disconnect the unit from the power source.
6. Disconnect and drain gun, wand and hoses.
7. Wipe unit clean and store with gun, wand and hoses in a safe area.
TIME DELAY SHUTDOWN:
Once the spray gun trigger is released, the shutdown timer becomes activat-
ed. The machine will continue to run in bypass mode until the timer reaches
its preset time, 2-3 minutes. When that time is reached, the machine shuts
down. To reset, push the pump switch to the "ON" position.
AUTO START OPTION (CX-0112):
Units equipped with CX-0069 Option, Auto Start, will operate similar to the
standard time delay shutdown with the exception that the unit will automat-
ically restart when the gun trigger is engaged. The gun trigger lock should
always be locked in the off position when not in use. This unit is to be shut
down after use by turning the on/off switch on the control panel to the off
position.
