and equipment.

A. Safety Warnings.

The definitions for the safety warnings used throughout this manual are as follows:

Warning Means that if the safety information is not followed, personnel,

equipment or the environment may be damaged or hurt.

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

The MSDS provides technical information regarding use, hazards, precautions and

emergency procedures related to specific fluids. The MSDS also contain toll-free phone

numbers that may be called to provide further safety and emergency treatment

information.

Operators of the Clarus Cleaner must have on hand an MSDS for each type of

solvent that they will be using. The MSDS are available from the solvent supplier. In

some localities it is required by law that appropriate MSDS are on hand whenever

hazardous or flammable material is being processed.

B. Safety Equipment.

1. Safety Glasses. Operators should wear safety glasses during the operation of the

Cleaner. The major hazard is the possibility of splashing petroleum-based fluids

into the eye. If petroleum-based fluid is splashed into the eye, severe damage

may occur. First Aid treatment should be initiated immediately. Refer to MSDS.

2. Protective Gloves. Appropriate protective gloves should be worn whenever there

is a possibility that the fluids being used may come into contact with the hands.

Different types of gloves may be required for differently types of fluids. The

local safety supply source can recommend the appropriate protective gloves.

Flammable. For the safety of owners and operators NO SMOKING around or near this

equipment.

V. QUICK START GUIDE

Please read entire Quick Start Guide before beginning, this will avoid possible start up

problems.

A. Uncrate Unit

1. Remove outer wrap.

2. Unbolt legs from pallet.

3. Remove Light Bar Assembly from packaging.

4. Remove all loose packing.

B. Install Light/Lid Bar Assembly

The PCS/WCS models are equipped with a light bar assembly. A standard RPW/RWC

model contains a lid bar. The light bar assembly is optional on the RPW/RWC models.

Both of the bars are required to hold the lid up when using the equipment.

To install the light/lid bar assembly, unscrew the provided hardware and attach it to the

Light/Lid Bar Bracket located on the center/backside of the Cleaner. Before tightening

the bolts, open the tank lid and secure it to the light/lid bar assembly fusible link. Do not

bend the fusible link. Tighten all bolts. Once the light/lid bar assembly is secured,

connect the male plug of the light bar to the female plug labeled “light bar” out of the

electrical box.

C. Establish Work Area

1. Create a properly sized area where the Cleaner will be located. This area should

be a level, solid working area with sufficient overhead room for the light/lid bar

assembly. A 110 volt 15 amp circuit should be within 6 feet of this area.

2. Place the Cleaner in working area with a forklift or pallet jack with front of unit

facing out.

3. Use front leveling feet to reduce any rocking from an uneven floor. The leveling

feet should not be used to raise the unit off the floor. Use a Bubble level to level

Front/Back and Left/Right.

D. Fill Unit with Solvent

1. Once the unit is set into place, leveled and power plugged in, you can fill it with

solvent. The 15 Series requires 17.5 gallons of solvent. The 25 Series requires

27.5 gallons of solvent.

2. NOTE: If your unit is equipped with a fluid level gauge, fill with solvent until

fluid level gauge (located on front left corner) reads full. If there is no fluid level

gauge, the fill line is located underneath the filter access cover on the tank wall.

Do not fill the solvent past the FILL LINE indicated by the decal.

3. Make sure both the cleaning brush and fluid nozzle are inside the tank before

turning the system on. Turn system on with the switch labeled “Solvent Flow”

(NOTE: Models built prior to June 2012 were equipped with a 4-minute timer

and a green push button.)

4. Turn the unit off and check fluid level and fill to solvent line if needed.

tightened.

2. From the left side of the unit:

a. Remove inner leg attachment bolts from both Top & Bottom.

b. Install green pre-clean shelf into top holes.

3. Take the three (3) bolt sets and install the black bracket to the open side of the

pre-clean shelf

4. Attach the bottom of the bracket to the main body of the unit.

5. Insert grey plastic bin into brackets underneath shelf.

6. Lay black plastic insert/shelf liner onto pre-clean shelf (prevents scratches)

Congratulations –your unit is ready!

VI. PARTS DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

A. Solvent Flow Switch

1. To start the solvent flow from the brush and wand nozzle, simply turn the

switch to “ON”. To stop the flow of the solvent, turn the switch to “OFF”.

(NOTE: Models built prior to June 2012 were equipped with a 4-minute timer

and a green push button. The green push button turns the system on for a 4-minute cycle.

When the cycle is over the system will shut off automatically. If continued operation is

needed, simply depress the green “ON” button again.

B. Light Switch

(Standard on PCS/WCS; Optional on RPW/RWC models). The light switch on the

control panel operates the overhead 150-watt halogen light. The light does not

automatically switch off, so the operator must manually turn the light off.

C. Cleaning Brush

This ergonomically designed Parts Cleaning brush self cleans during use.

D. Optional Add-on Features

The Cleaner can be customized with additional features to make your shop’s parts and/or

weapons cleaning even more efficient. The following describes the operation of these

options; however, not all units are equipped with the same option packages.

Air Tool with Air Pump

If the optional Air Tool with Air Pump was purchased for your Cleaner, you will have an

air nozzle/handle hanging on the inside of the Cleaner lid. The air flow is controlled by

the Solvent Flow switch.

To activate the air tool, first turn the Solvent Flow Switch to “ON”, starting the

compressor. Next, take hold of the Air Tool, point it down and away from your body

and depress the trigger on the handle to release the pressurized air.

Regulated Shop Air Operated Air Tool

If the optional regulated “Shop Air” model was purchased, hook up the Shop Air Hose

to the air regulator located on the backside of the lower shelf. Manually adjust the

amount of air needed by pulling up the knob on the regulator and turning it to the

appropriate setting. When the proper amount of air is achieved, push knob down to lock

your setting. With this set-up, air will always be available at the nozzle.

Agitation Tank/Pump Assembly

The PCS/RPW-25 and PCS/RPW-15 can be equipped with an optional stainless steel

soak tank (“Soak Tank”) and a UL-approved submersible agitation pump. The

“ON/OFF” switch for the Soak Tank is located on the left side of the lid. The switch may

be located on the right side of RPW models not equipped with an optional halogen light.

Prior to turning the agitation on:

1) Place the stainless steel tank along the left hand side wall of the working surface,

2) Turn on the Solvent Flow Switch. As the solvent begins to flow, use the

cleaning brush and/or nozzle to fill the stainless steel soak tank until it covers the

pump.

3) Once the soak tank is full you can turn on the pump. The agitation pump will

stay on until it is manually turned off.

E. Fluid Nozzle –shutoff

(PCS/RPW parts cleaning models only) The fluid nozzle flow can be adjusted or turned

off by turning the yellow valve handle at the nozzle’s base.

F. Filter Differential Pressure Gauge

(Standard on PCS/WCS; Optional on RPW/RWC models). The PCS/WCS models use a

pressure gauge to indicate when the filters need replacing. This is an optional feature in

the RPW/RWC models. Replace filters when the gauge reads 40 PSI. Operating system

beyond 40 PSI will not damage the unit; however, the quality of the solvent will degrade

beyond 40 PSI.

G. Fusible Link

The OSHA Regulated Fusible Link that holds the lid open will release the lid if the

ambient temperature reaches 165F. Never bend the Fusible Link, as this will weaken

it.

WARNING! Do not coat or paint fusible link as this may prevent proper

operation. Inspect fusible link annually and replace if corrosion and/or stress is

evident.

J. Leveling Bolts

The front two legs contain bolts, which are used to minimize any rocking from uneven

floors, and will aid in leveling the unit. The unit must be level to work properly.
