CAUTION
Never work with equipment you feel may be unsafe.
Contact your Supervisor immediately if you feel a
piece of equipment is in an unsafe condition.
Place unit on a smooth, level surface in a well
ventilated area. Place parts in center of tank, not
at either end or overhanging tank. Maximum load
capacity is 100 lbs. Placing parts at one end of
tank can cause unit to become unbalanced and
tip over. Do NOT plug tank drain and fill. This also
can cause unit to become unstable and possibly
tip over. Weight of liquid in drum affects stability.
Keep filled to proper level.
WARNING
Do NOT install near open flames or heat. Do NOT
smoke near parts cleaner.
Be sure to follow label instructions provided with
any fluid used in this unit. Use only combustible
fluids with a flash point of 104°F or higher.
Graymills recommends Super or Regular Agitene®
(Flashpoint approx. 105°F). Do NOT use gasoline,
alcohol, carburetor cleaners, metal strippers or
chlorinated solvents. Use of such unauthorized
materials can cause a health and safety hazard
which might result in serious personal injury or
death. If you have any questions regarding the cor-
rect fluids to use in this unit, call Graymills at (773)
248-6825 and ask for Customer Service.
Do NOT contaminate cleaning compounds with
any flammable materials (less than 104°F flash
point), such as gasoline, alcohol, etc. Drain parts
to be cleaned of any flammable material before
placing inside cleaning tank. Even small quantities
can create a dangerous fire hazard.
CAUTION
If any cleaning solutions are splashed on clothing,
remove wet clothing promptly and thoroughly
wash body areas that have been in contact with
the solution. Do NOT permit saturated clothing to
remain in contact with skin.
Cleaning solutions may irritate skin and eyes. If
splashed in eyes, flush thoroughly with water.
Consult Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and a
physician. Always wear appropriate safety items
such as gloves, apron, safety glasses or goggles.
WARNING
Before performing any maintenance on this unit
be sure to disconnect electric power.
Unit must be properly grounded to prevent elec-
tric shock hazard. Connect only to three prong
outlet. Should cord become cracked, frayed or
damaged in any way, it should be repaired imme-
diately by a qualified electrician. Never use an
extension cord.
Since operator safety at all times is a priority, we
strongly recommend that, whether or not required
by local code, this equipment be connected only
into a power supply equipped with a “Ground
Fault Interrupter” (GFI). All electrical connections
should conform to national/local codes and be
made by qualified personnel.
CAUTION
Never leave the unit unattended with parts in the
tank which would prevent the cover from closing
completely in the event of a fire. Always make
sure that the cover remains in its correct, slightly
tilted forward position when open. Do NOT tamp-
er with or remove the fusible safety link. If the
safety link breaks or is lost, do NOT use the unit.
Replace the safety link immediately. Keep the
cover closed when the unit is not being used.
❥ Unit is equipped with a fusible safety link cover
mechanism designed to support the open cover at
a slightly forward angle. In the event of a fire, the
fusible link will melt at 165°F permitting the cover
to slam shut, cutting off oxygen supply to the fire.
CAUTION
Inspect pump, fusible link, and all electrical cords
and plugs each time unit is cleaned. Do NOT use if
any wear or damage is noticed until impaired com-
ponents are repaired or replaced.
Fill tank to recommended operating capacity range
before plugging in power cord. (See INSTALLATION
AND OPERATION section.)
NOTE
When DMS tank is removed from reservoir, care must
be taken not to damage pump. Lift tank straight up
and lay upside down.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
