OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WASH
Push On/Off Button to start or stop solvent flow through spigot and flow through
brush. If solvent does not flow when the On/Off button is depressed, refer to the
troubleshooting guide at the end of this manual.
NOTE: Practice good housekeeping when washing parts and allow items to drain before
removing them from the wash area. Removing solvent from the wash area may reduce
cleaning efficiency and increase overall solvent usage. To keep solvent usage to a
minimum, do not remove solvent for remote cleaning operations and close lid when not
in use.
RECYCLE
Push Recycle Button once to transfer dirty solvent into distillation and return clean
fluid to the wash basin. Cleaning operations will be available in 4 minutes. If the clean
fluid is not returned to the sink within 4 minutes, refer to the troubleshooting guide at
the end of this manual.
NOTE: During the recycle process, it is normal to hear the unit operate for several
hours. It is completely automated and will turn itself off when finished. Do not unplug
the unit during this process. If power is interrupted during the recycle process, the
equipment should restart and finish automatically although process time may be
extended.
WARNING
The discharge knob will be hot to the touch during the recycle process. Do
not open or touch the discharge knob while the recycle process is operating
or until the temperature indicator turns GREEN.
-4-
RESIDUE REMOVAL
Wait until the system completes the recycling process, cools down and the temperature
indicator turns green. Unscrew counter-clockwise and remove the Discharge Knob
and allow the residue to drain into a container.
NOTE: If you unscrew the Discharge Knob and the residue does not drain freely, it may
be unusually thick from dirty or gritty cleaning operations. Insert a firm, flexible wire
rod into the distillation drain opening to assist removal of residue.
NOTE: The amount of residue accumulation will vary with the usage of the machine.
Under normal conditions, the residue should be drained on a weekly basis and should
expect 2 to 3 quarts of fluid. If more fluid is removed, the frequency of draining
intervals should be increased. If only small amounts of fluid is removed, you should
decrease the frequency draining intervals to allow more residue to accumulate.
WARNING
The discharge knob will be hot to the touch during the recycle process. Do not open or
touch the discharge knob until the temperature indicator turns GREEN and/or the knob
is cool to the touch.

SPECIFICATIONS
POWER
115 vac minimum / 60 hz / 3 prong grounded outlet. The unit should be installed on a
dedicated 15 amperes branch circuit (20 amperes if shared with other devices).
NOTE: If multiple units are placed in older facilities, it is recommended to operate the
recycle process at staggered intervals or a low electrical usage periods to avoid
excessive electrical demand on the main service panel.
SOLVENT
Standard models use only 140°F flash mineral spirits (Aliphatic Hydrocarbon) with an
upper limit boiling point no higher than 425°F. VOC exempt models use only solvent
provided by or approved for use by SYSTEMOne®.
NOTE: Solvent replenishment requirements range from 15 to 30 gallons per year per
unit, depending on the application and useage. Solvent requirements over 30 gallons
per year represents unusual usage. In cases where solvent usage exceeds 30 gallons
per year, the customer should take action to determine the cause for loss. Typically, the
solvent is being removed for remote cleaning operations and not replaced in a timely
fashion. Management should take action to deter improper removal of solvent form the
SYSTEMOne® parts washer.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
2. The SYSTEMOne® distillation process separates mineral spirit solvents from oil
and other impurities. It does not chemically change the resulting residue which
can be managed as used oil per Federal regulations. Federal Regulation 40 CFR
279 Subpart B, paragraph (b)(2)(iii) documents that where a mixture of mineral
spirits and used oil does not exhibit ignitable characteristics, the presence of
mineral spirits does not preclude the treatment of the residue as used oil, even in
circumstances with less than 100% percent effective separation.
IMPORTANT
The customer is ultimately responsible for the proper handling of the residue
by-product and proper use of SYSTEMOne® equipment in accordance with the
manufacturer's User Manual and specifications. It is recommended that the
residue be tested periodically to confirm that the equipment is being utilized properly and
that the residue from your unit is properly managed as used oil. The manufacturer will be
pleased to arrange for the testing at a nominal cost.

SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2. DIRECT FLOW OF SOLVENT INTO THE SINK. DO NOT use compressed air to
agitate the solvent or dry parts. Drain clean parts in the machine until dripping
ceases. DO NOT clean or degrease porous or absorbent materials. DO NOT use
solvents on friction materials such as brake linings and clutch surfaces that are to
be reused. Wipe rubber and metal brake parts completely dry before reassembly.
3. TURN THE MACHINE OFF WHEN ADDING SOLVENT. DO NOT add solvent during
the recycling process. Regularly drain residue from drain spout. DO NOT drain
residue when residue knob is hot after recycling, wait until the knob is cool to
the touch. Periodically clean the removable sink strainer. Never operate machine
without the strainer.
5. DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE UNATTENDED. Close the machine lid when not in
use as a safety precaution (Series 500 only) and to minimize solvent evaporation.
-8-
HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2. COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID. Keep a minimum three (3) foot distance from heat,
sparks, flame or other sources of ignition. DO NOT place hot parts in the
machine. DO NOT spray aerosols into or around the machine. DO NOT use in
enclosed areas. Use only with adequate ventilation to prevent vapor buildup.
3. SMOKING. DO NOT smoke within a minimum three (3) foot distance from the
machine.
6. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES. Eye contact with solvent or exposure to vapor
may cause eye irritation, watering, stinging, or redness. Where there is likelihood
of eye contact, wear chemical goggles or faceshield. DO NOT wear contact
lenses without proper eye protection.
7. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN. Prolonged skin contact with solvent may cause
irritation, redness, burning, drying, cracking or dermatitis. If prolonged skin
contact is likely, wear protective gloves, clothing and shoes. If clothing is
inadvertently sprayed with solvent, remove immediately to prevent skin rash or
fire hazard.
