Compressed Air Connection

SP-130/135, SP-155/165, SP-185/195 only

SP-110 and smaller do not require compressed air. Best performance will be realized if air is pro-
vided at a pressure of 80-100psi (5.4-6.7 bar). SP-130 and larger machines will experience door seal
and drain failure if compressed air service is interrupted. Ensure the provided air is filtered and
dry. Wet and/or dirty air will cause rapid deterioration of internal components and void your
warranty on these parts. Install a compressed air dryer to prevent water build up in the airlines.
Make sure to use best practice when installing air lines so that water does not damage internal air
components - the machine should not be the low point in the air path. Install an inline air filter on
each machine to reduce contamination (B&C part number 270-324 or purchase locally). Refer to
figure 4.15 on page 36.

External Chemical Supplies

The following procedures must be observed when connecting any chemical injector to the washer-
extractor. See figure 4.16 on 37 for a typical supply injection system setup.

Wear Eye and hand protection when handling chemicals. Always avoid direct
contact with raw chemicals. Read the manufacturers directions for accidental
contact before handling chemicals. Ensure that an eye-rinse facility and an emer-
gency shower are within easy reach. Check at regular intervals for chemical
leaks.
