Hornady Sonic Cleaner 220V - Manual (Page 2)

NOTE: The Lock-N-Load ® Sonic Cleaner TM may appear to be off or can not be turned off when it is subjected to electrical
power surges. If this happens, simply unplug the unit, wait a few seconds and plug it back in. This will reset everything
and the cleaner will resume normal operation.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS – BRASS CASES
Before you start cleaning cases, make sure all spent primers have been removed with a full-length die, neck die or
decapping die. This will greatly enhance the cleaning of primer pockets.
Check to make sure the power cord is NOT plugged in. Place cases in basket and lower into tank. Add enough water so
the cases are completely submerged but do not exceed the MAX water line which appears on the side of the basket and
tank. Mix solution according to instructions on bottle. Cases must NOT come into contact with the tank!
Plug in power cord and set timer by pressing the SET button until the desired cycle time appears. e.g. 90, 180, 280, 380
or 480 seconds. Press the ON button to start your desired cleaning cycle. The unit will generate a buzzing sound during
operation (Fig.1).
Press the OFF button to stop or pause a cycle. Press the ON button to restart current cycle (Fig.1).
Check cases periodically to determine appropriate cleaning time. Most cases will be clean after two or three 480 second
cycles. Do not cycle longer than three consecutive 480 second cycles without allowing the unit to cool for approximately 3
minutes.
Unplug power cord and drain cleaning solution into tank by lifting and tilting basket with the cleaned cases. Rinse
cleaning solution from the cases. De-ionized water will minimize water spots on the cases while they’re drying. When
you have finished cleaning cases, unplug unit and pour used solution out over one of the back corners of the tank. This
will minimize the possibility of water making contact with the internal components. Do not pour cleaning solution out over
the front of the unit.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS – OTHER ITEMS
The above steps can be used to clean other items such as small gun components, metallic shooting and reloading
equipment as well as other waterproof household items. If you wish to clean sensitive or valuable items, use distilled
water in the tank without any type of detergent or cleaning solution. Read and follow instructions on cleaning solution
bottles. Do not use the Hornady One-Shot
TM
Sonic Clean Brass Solution to clean non-brass items, as it may harm some
finishes. Thoroughly rinse the inside of the Hornady Lock-N-Load

TM
tank when switching cleaning
solutions. Oversized items that do not fit in the tank can be cleaned by partially submerging one end and then rotating
and repeating the cleaning cycles.
MAINTENANCE
If the unit will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord, empty the tank and rinse it with fresh
water.
Use a damp towel to remove any chemical residue from the tank. Use a soft clean towel to dry the surface of the tank
and store the unit in a cool/dry location. Renew cleaning solution often to maintain the efficiency and performance of the
Lock-N-Load
® Sonic Cleaner TM . Solutions, as with most chemicals, become spent over time. Replenish solution when it
becomes visibly dirty or if you notice a decrease in cleaning effectiveness.
