Debris Screen
The debris screen is located just below the wash chamber, and is accessible from the front of the machine (see Figure 3-4). The debris screen continuously filters debris particles from the cleaning solution to ensure blockage-free spray nozzle operation, and also provides a safeguard against small parts that might accidentally be washed through from the cleaning chamber. The frequency at which you must clean the debris screen depends on machine usage. In general, you should clean the screen before operating the machine each day.
NOTE
Never operate the machine without the debris screen in place, and never remove the screen while the machine is operating. The screen is specially sized to filter particles that could clog the spray nozzles or damage the water pump. Operating the machine without the debris screen in place could cause spray nozzle clogging or water pump failure.

Water Level Gage

The water level gage is located on the left sump cover (see Figure 3-6). Under typical operating conditions the machine loses 3 5 gallons of water per day to evaporation. It is important that you monitor and maintain the water level daily to minimize the risk of burning out the heating element or ruining the pump.
NOTE
Water evaporates from the sump chamber, but the detergent does not. It is not necessary to add detergent each time you add water. Only add detergent after you clean the sump chamber each month, or if you notice specific low-detergent indicators (see Detergent Concentration on page 3-6).

DETERGENT CONCENTRATION
Hotsy TubMate All-Purpose Detergent is the only detergent approved for use with Hotsy automatic parts washers. It is specially formulated with rust inhibitors and anti-foaming agents to optimize performance and minimize maintenance. The use of any other detergent during the warranty period will void the warranty. To monitor the approximate concentration of detergent in the wash solution, periodically examine the wash solution in the sump chamber for the following indicators: Rust inside the machine: not enough detergent Excessive foaming: not enough detergent Thick, white residue on parts after washing: too much detergent To maintain proper detergent concentration add detergent each month after cleaning the sump chamber. The recommended detergent quantity for normal operating conditions is 12 pounds (24 cups). For heavy duty operating conditions use 24 pounds (48 cups).
PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE

Before you begin to wash parts, it is important that you properly prepare the machine. Before you begin to use the machine each day: check the water level and add water to the sump tank if necessary; heat the water to operating temperature add detergent if necessary (see Detergent Concentration); verify that none of the spray nozzles are clogged; and clean the debris screen.
WASHING PARTS
The following procedure assumes that the heater is on and the sump water is at operating temperature. To wash parts, perform the following procedure.
WARNING
Hot, high-pressured cleaning solution could cause serious injury. Always wear rubber gloves and approved eye protection when loading and unloading the machine.
1. Load parts into the machine. Load large, heavy parts directly onto the turntable. Secure large, light parts (valve covers for example) to the turntable using suitable rubber tie-downs. Load small, light parts into the optional small parts basket, if provided with your machine.
3-6
Operation
NOTE
For optimum cleaning performance, provide a slight clearance between parts to allow adequate flow of cleaning solution around and between them.
2. Close and latch the door. 3. Set the wash cycle timer to between 1 and 60 minutes for a timed wash cycle, or set it to Hold for a continuous wash. 4. When the machine automatically stops (or after you manually stop the wash cycle), open the door and wait a few moments to allow the parts to cool and dry before removing them. Most parts will flash-dry in seconds.
SHUTTING DOWN THE MACHINE

To shut down the machine at the end of the day: set the wash cycle timer to OFF; set the heater timer to OFF; and shut off the water at the supply spigot (if a dedicated water supply is installed).
WARNING
If the heater is left on unattended, the wash solution could evaporate and the oil and grease in the sump chamber could catch fire. For periods of extended shut-down, disconnect all power to the machine. If your machine is equipped with an optional programmable heater timer, periodically verify the settings to prevent inadvertent unattended operation.

MAINTAINING THE MACHINE
To ensure optimum performance and trouble-free operation, observe the following maintenance schedule consistently.
Daily Maintenance
Check the water level; add water if necessary. Clean the debris screen.
Weekly Maintenance
Remove oil from the wash solution using the Oil Skimmer System (see Using the Oil Skimmer System on page 5-3). Examine the spray nozzles; clean and align if necessary (see Cleaning and Aligning the Spray Nozzles on page 5-4). Wipe down the exterior of the machine using spray degreaser and a soft, damp cloth. TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL COMPONENT FAILURE, DO NOT SPRAY THE MACHINE WITH WATER.
NOTE
Spray degreaser and a damp cloth will usually remove all dirt and grime from the machine. For particularly stubborn soap deposits, use a soft cloth dampened with warm solution from the wash chamber.
Monthly Maintenance
Drain and clean out the sump chamber and detail sump (see Cleaning out the Sump on page 5-5). Lubricate the door spindle using high-quality automotive grease. Add grease until it begins to flow out of the joint beneath the grease fitting, then wipe excess grease from the fitting and the joint (see Figure 5-1). Figure 5-1: Lubricating the Door Spindle Grease Fitting
Joint
5-1
Semi-Annual Maintenance
Lubricate the pivot pin on the turntable motor assembly with machine oil or anti-seize (see Figure 5-2 on page 5-2). Figure 5-2: Lubricating the Turntable Motor Assembly.
Pivot Pin
If the pump motor has external grease fittings: Lubricate the upper and lower pump bearings using high- quality automotive grease (see Figure 5-3). Do not overgrease the bearings; overgreasing could cause premature failure. For 3HP pumps, add 1 stroke of grease every six months; for 5HP pumps, add 12 strokes of grease every six months; for pumps larger than 5HP, add 23 strokes of grease every six months. Figure 5-3: Pump Bearing Grease Fittings.
Upper Bearing Grease Fitting
Lower Bearing Grease Fitting
5-2
Using the Oil Skimmer System

The Oil Skimmer System is most effective if used after the cleaning solution in the sump has been sitting for at least 30 minutes. The frequency at which you must remove the oil from the wash solution will depend on machine usage. Under typical operating conditions you can expect to remove the oil once a week. To remove oil from the cleaning solution, perform the following procedure: 1. Allow the machine to sit idle for at least 30 minutes to allow the oil to float to the surface of the wash solution. 2. Ensure that the oil collection container is in place (see Figure 5-4), then turn the skimmer switch to the 30-minute position. 3. Allow the oil skimmer to operate until it is no longer extracting oil from the cleaning solution.
TIP
While extracting oil from the cleaning solution, oil will flow off the wiper blades in a fine continuous stream. Water will flow off the blades in droplets. Once droplets begin to flow off the wiper blades, stop the skimmer motor.
4. Dispose of the oil in the collection container in accordance with local and state regulations, then replace the container. Figure 5-4: Oil Skimmer System. Skimmer Disk (part # 500.218) Skimmer Motor (part # 500.244) and Vented Housing (part # 500.688)
Wiper Blades (part # 500.349)
Oil Collection Container

Cleaning and Aligning the Spray Nozzles

To ensure optimum cleaning performance, it is important that you examine the spray nozzles periodically and clean and align them if necessary. To clean a plugged nozzle, remove it from the spray pipe and use a small wire brush to free the nozzle of any obstructions. When you replace the nozzle on the spray pipe, make sure you align it according to Figure 5-5 to maintain a proper spray pattern.
NOTE
The spray nozzles are sized and positioned to optimize the distribution of cleaning solution in the wash chamber. If you remove the nozzles make sure you replace them in the correct position on the appropriate pipe.

Cleaning out the Sump

1. Remove oil from the cleaning solution using the Oil Skimmer System (see Using the Oil Skimmer System on page 5-3). 2. If your machine is equipped with the Auto-Fill feature, turn off the water at the supply line. 3. Remove both sump covers, then drain the wash solution from the sump chamber. To drain the solution either use the sump drain or a small submersible pump.
NOTE
Hotsy recommends that you reuse the wash solution. To do so, transfer it to a suitable holding container (such as a 55-gallon drum) while you clean out the sump chamber.
4. Remove sand and other debris from the bottom of the sump chamber and the detail sump. To remove the debris either flush it out through the sump drain, or vacuum it out using a wet/dry vac. Dispose of the debris in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations.
NOTE
Take special care to ensure that the heating element is free of debris. A build up of debris around the element will decrease heating performance and may cause the element to overheat and fail.
5. Transfer the wash solution back to the sump chamber, and add fresh water if necessary. 6. Replace the sump covers, heat the wash water to operating temperature. 7. Add the appropriate amount of Hotsy TubMate All-Purpose Detergent (12 cups normal conditions, 24 cups heavy conditions). Then run the machine through a 30-minute wash cycle.
NOTE
Hotsy TubMate All-Purpose Detergent is the only detergent approved for use with Hotsy automatic parts washers. It is specially formulated with rust inhibitors and anti-foaming agents to optimize performance and minimize maintenance. The use of any other detergent during the warranty period will void the warranty.
