We recommend non-flammable cleaning solutions
with a PH between 6 and 8, but due to the chang-
ing formulas of cleaning solutions and changing
laws and regulations, we cannot name a specific
solution for you.
Some solutions can be highly flammable and may
damage pump and motor seals, and others can
react with what you may be cleaning and produce
harmful fumes.
if you are in doubt about any aspect of your
selected solution, contact the solution manufac-
turer or refer to its Materials Safety Data Sheet
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using extension cords, but
if you find it absolutely necessary:
• Use at least a 16 gauge cord that does not
exceed 50 feet in length!
• The extension cord must have a ground wire
and plug pin.
• A qualified electrician MUST size cords over
50 feet long to prevent pump motor damage.
USE this parts washer with caution and
respect. Always consider safety first, as it
applies to your individual working condi-
tions. No list of safety guidelines can be
complete—every shop environment is dif-
ferent. failure to follow safety guidelines
could result in serious personal injury or
death.
This parts washer is designed to store
cleaning solutions. During storage, some
liquids can grow dangerous microbes, or
due to the collection of toxic metal and
contaminants from the items being washed,
the fluid can become a very poisonous
solution to humans and animals.
USE the correct personal protection
equipment when handling sharp workpieces
to prevent cuts, infections, and poisoning.
fOLLOW OSHA, EPA, and the fluid
manufacturer's requirements to properly
