INTRODUCTION
The Handi-Kleen parts cleaner is an economical and
effective parts cleaner. Parts are scrubbed by a hand-held
brush (see ACCESSORIES section) under a flex hose,
resting on a removable metal shelf above fluid level or
may be soaked in solvent below the shelf. Cleaning fluid is
circulated through a foam filter to trap finer particles that
make it beyond the sludge collector.
SPECIFICATIONS
Depending on the model, the Handi-Kleen parts cleaner
operates at 115V, 60 Hz, 1 Ph. Fluid capacity minimums
and maximums for the PL36 are 2”-11” respectively.
The Handi-Kleen is designed to be used with combustible
(flash point over 104°F) petroleum based cleaning fluids
such as Graymills Regular Agitene
®
and Super Agitene
®
.
Super Agitene has a mild, fresh odor and is far superior in
cleaning ability than normal safety solvents. Super Agitene
also contains "HandEase," a lanolin formulation that helps
prevent skin irritation, plus seven other ingredients that
make it a unique cleaning fluid that cleans faster, more
easily and lasts longer than other cleaning fluids. Super
Agitene also leaves a light rust retarding film. Regular
Agitene is a fast-drying, film-free cleaner which contains
Tergene, a detergent additive for better cleaning efficiency.
Regular Agitene is especially recommended for cleaning
electrical parts since it will not harm varnish and dries film
free.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Site Preparation
Before installing the Handi-Kleen, careful consideration
should be given to the place of operation. Place unit on a
smooth, level surface.
The work area should be well ventilated.
Provide adequate lighting in the work area to allow
observation of the cleaning process and the floor area
around the machine.
Be sure to allow adequate room to bring work to and from
the machine. Provide sufficient clearance around the
machine for fluid changeovers and servicing.
ASSEMBLY
After removing the Handi-Kleen from its shipping carton,
place tank (A, see fig. on next page) upside down and
assemble legs (B) on the
outside
of tank brackets (if
placed on inside of brackets, holes will not align). The
rough side of the lock nuts should screw toward the metal.
After all machine screws and lock nuts are in place,
tighten securely. Turn unit over. Install the Handi·Kieen in
a convenient location close to electrical outlet, away from
open flame or sparks. Check and tighten all fittings before
filling with solvent. Liquid level should remain under the
high level line. Do NOT overfill. Keep cover closed when
not in use to reduce evaporation of cleaning fluid. The
reflective white cover aids visibility when open.
Handi·Kleen Pumps
The pumping unit (I) is a valuable aid in parts cleaning. It
is particularly useful for flushing away softened grease and
grime as you brush the parts. The pumps designed for the
Handi-Kleen models operate at low pressure to aid against
splash. These pumps are made of high strength,
reinforced thermoplastic. The wire mesh screen which
protects the pump intake may need periodic cleaning.
