CAUTION – POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
Always use a silicone lubricant to lubricate squeeze tubes. Petroleum-based lubricants, such as
Vaseline
®1
or grease, will cause squeeze tubes to melt.
Avoid product damage. Always select a cycle appropriate for the items being processed.
Before operating the unit, always position Bottle Washing Cart or Central Header Manifold over the
manifolded coupling system. If manifold is not positioned correctly, damage may result and unit will be
unable to effectively wash load.
Do not process load using Central Header Manifold or Bottle Washing Cart when Automatic Floor Tilting
is activated. If Automatic Floor Tilting is used, manifolded water inlet and washer will be damaged.
Failure to connect wires to proper terminals may result in damage to, or malfunction of unit when power
is applied.
Items processed in the washer must tolerate temperatures and chemicals specified in this manual.
Always follow item manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning instructions.
Remove all cellulose type bedding from cages and pans before processing. Cellulose bedding may clog
filters and piping.
Remove any items, accessories or racks from wash chamber before processing a drying treatment prior
to a VHP cycle. Items will be damaged by high temperature drying.
Repeated fuse burnouts indicate a short circuit or overload. Trouble should be located and corrected by
a fully trained technician.
Use nonabrasive cleaners when cleaning unit. Follow directions on containers and rub in a back-and-
forth motion, in same direction as surface grain. Abrasive cleaners will damage stainless steel. Clean-
ers rubbed in a circular motion or applied with a wire brush or steel wool on door and chamber assem-
blies will damage stainless steel. Do not use these cleaners on painted surfaces.
When choosing a chemical, select one with a low chloride content. Chloride is harmful to stainless steel
and will deteriorate washer.
