MAINTENANCE
Fusible Link
A fusible safety link (J) is located on the inside cover of the
Handi-Kleen tank. This link is designed to melt at 165
°
F in
case of fire. This eliminates the upper support and allows
the cover, which is held in a slightly forward position (be
sure this slightly forward position is maintained) to drop
shut. Do NOT allow any parts to remain in the parts
washer that would prevent the lid from closing. The fusible
link should be replaced any time it is damaged and no
longer holds lid open.
Cleaning the tank
To clean the tank, remove solvent by opening the drain (K)
located in the center of the tank bottom. You can also
remove the flexible hose (C) from the "L" support bracket,
aim it over the tank sides into a large bucket and remove
used solvent using the pump. Wipe the tank clean when
empty. Rinse the part basket and refill the tank. The
cleaning process normally takes 10 - 15 minutes. Complete
instructions are located on the lid of the Handi-Kleen.
Always dispose of used cleaning fluid properly. Refer
to the cleaning chemical manufacturer's package label
for instructions.
Cleaning the Pump
Decreased solvent flow from the nozzle could mean not
enough solvent is getting to the pump (I), indicating a
sludge build-up at the pump intake area. Lift pump out of
compartment and check bottom of pump compartment for
sludge. If it is necessary to clean the pump interior,
remove pump housing by removing two (2) sheet metal
screws holding the housing to tank. The pump has a
secondary screen that may need additional cleaning.
