AGITATING LIFT PARTS WASHER
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
DEAR CUSTOMER
Thank you for your recent purchase of a Zep Dyna100 FB agitating parts washer. Like thousands of other Zep customers, you’ve made an excellent choice. For over 60 years, Zep has been manufacturing quality cleaning and maintenance products.
When used according to instructions, your Dyna100 FB agitating parts washer will provide many years of trouble-free service. Zep solvent parts washers were designed with features and components that effectively and efficiently remove oil grease, dirt and grime. Depending on the nature of your cleaning operation, you’ll find you can use your Zep solvent repeatedly, by simply changing the filters as required.
For top performance, use only Zep parts washer products. Zep products are formulated specifically for use in our solvent parts washers, giving you superior cleaning performance.
A. General Information
Read and understand all labels, MSDS, and this instruction manual before use.
In some parts of the United States, local or state agencies have adopted an existing EPA requirement for vapor degreasing equipment and applied them to solvent parts washers. Part of the requirement is that the distance from the top of the machine to the surface of the cold cleaning solvent be at least ¾ of the smaller of the two dimensions of the opening; commonly referred to as a .75 FREEBOARD RATIO. Your Dyna-Brute FB or Super Brute FB has been designed to meet or exceed this standard when filled to the proper level as indicated on the side of the pump module.
The Dyna 100 FB is designed to clean soiled, greasy, and oily parts, using Zep’s Dyna-143 or Dyna-170.
Install your parts cleaner on a flat level surface in a well ventilated area. The operator is responsible for determining and maintaining adequate ventilation.
This equipment is designed for use with Dyna-143 or Dyna-170. Do not add any other chemicals including, but not limited to, kerosene, fuel oil, gasoline, chlorinated solvents, or detergents. The use of unapproved solvents could cause a potentially hazardous condition.
Under certain conditions the solvent could burn. For your protection, a fusible link system automatically closes the cover of the parts cleaner in the event that a fire occurs in the sink work area. The closed cover contains the fire inside the metal tank. Do not leave large objects in the parts cleaner while in the raised position or hang anything on the cover that could prevent it from closing completely. Do not replace the fusible link with any other device to hold the cover up.
To minimize the risk of personal injury, it is important that you read, understand, and follow the instructions provided in this manual.
B. Fire Prevention
In case of a fire:
When using Dyna-143 or Dyna-170,
Use a Type ABC or Type BC fire extinguisher.
Do not use water.
Contact your local fire department.
To reduce the risk of fire when cleaning carburetors or other fuel supplying components, remove all gasoline into a proper disposal container before placing the component into the parts cleaner.
Do not spray aerosols into or around this machine. Install the equipment in an area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Never put hot parts into the solvent.
Do not prevent the cover from closing. It is designed to close automatically in the event of a fire. The safety link and cover closing mechanism must be intact. Do not substitute with any other type of cover positioning device. Do not leave large objects in the parts cleaner while the lift is in the raised position, or hang anything on the cover that could prevent the cover from closing in the event of a fire.
Do not modify the equipment in any way.
Do not leave solvent-soaked rags in the parts cleaner, wadded up on workbenches, or in uncovered containers.
Soak up all solvent spills with absorbent material. Dispose of all solvent-soaked material in accordance with regulatory requirements.
C. Environmental Precautions
1. Avoid spilling solvent. If solvent is spilled, clean it up immediately. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet for instructions on clean up and disposal.
2. Contain leaks promptly. Notify local environmental authorities if necessary.
3. Proper housekeeping in the area of the parts cleaner is the responsibility of the user.
4. Check with your local jurisdiction for any other applicable materials compliance requirements.
5. Do not remove devices designed to reduce evaporation except to process work or to perform maintenance.
6. For further information consult the Material Safety Data Sheet.
D. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Inspect the unit closely for damage. If damage is apparent report it immediately to the delivering carrier.
2. This unit must be installed on a flat level surface in a well ventilated area.
3. Remove all components from the inside of the parts washer.
4. Mount the upper cylinder housing on the machine using the four (4) 10-32 hex head, machine screws supplied with the housing. See (DIAGRAM A.) CAUTION: Start the screws using your fingers so you do not strip out the rivnut.
5. Connect a ¼” MPT air line capable of delivering a minimum of 8CFM @120PSIG to the regulator on the back of the control panel (See DIAGRAM A). The regulator is nonadjustable, preset at 120psi.
6. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded power source. A ground fault circuit interrupter protected outlet is preferred. See the serial number plate for power requirements.
