Step 1 — MAINTENANCE

In order to keep your SpeedTreater-TX in tip-top shape, remove thenozzle after use, daily.

Put the nozzle and filter in a smallglass bottle filled with Cloggy NoMore cleaning solution.

Alternatively, a 50/50 mix ofdistilled water and Simple Greencan be used.

The SpeedTreater-TX allows you toflush the lines easily, withoutwasting pretreatment.

We recommend flushing the linesat the end of the week, andbefore known periods ofdowntime.




Step 2 — DAILY MAINTENANCE

Open the panel at the back of the machine by turning the silver knob counter-clockwise.

Remove the catch basin. Check how full the catch basin is. Empty it if necessary.

Remove the nozzle by unscrewing the nut counter-clockwise. It will drop down from the valve alongwith the filter and plastic washers.

Step 3

Drop the nozzle and the filter into a small glass cup or bottle filled with Cloggy No More.

Since the catch basin is removed during this process, a few drops of pretreatment or solution mightdrip on the inside of the machine. Make sure to clean up any excess liquid.

Now replace the catch basin.

Do NOT push the catch basin back in with any force. Just slide it back in gently. Make sure itsits flat.




Step 4 — WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

You will need two containers toperform the maintenance properly,an empty container and a containerwith a flushing solution. Werecommend that you use 1/2 cup ofSimple Green mixed with a gallon ofdistilled water.

Make sure the catch basin is inplace under the valve beforeflushing the machine. It does notmatter whether the nozzle isscrewed on or not.

Step 5

Take the IN hose out of your pretreatment container and leave it exposed

Push and hold the PURGE button until most of the pretreatment left in the machine cycles backinto your pretreatment container.

The sound of the the pump will change once it runs out of liquid.




Step 6

Put the in hose in the flushing solution and the out house in the empty container

Hold the PURGE button for 20-30 seconds. The machine will cycle the solution through the pump.Both hoses should be filled with solution at this point.

Remove and empty the catch basin. Then put the catch basin back in.

Leave the machine with tubes in the containers until you are ready to use the machine again.




Step 7 — CLEANING THE DRAWER

Slide open the drawer, and pull the shield out towards you all the way.

Clean any excess pretreatment or liquid from the shield, particularly in the back where the flushingoccurs.

The shirt holder and shield can be removed for a more thorough cleaning by removing the smallknobs on the underside of the drawer.




Step 8 — SETTING BACK UP

Open the panel in the back of the machine.

Put the nozzle assembly back together.

The nozzle goes first into the nut, then a washer, then the filter (lip-side down), and then anotherwasher over the lip of the filter.

Refer to Step 9 for an illustrated diagram.

Screw the assembly back into the valve.

You can tighten the nut by hand; then use a wrench or pliers to tighten nut slightly past handtight (Do not over tighten.)

Make sure the nozzle is oriented correctly by using the nozzle alignment tool provided.




Step 9

Here's how to reassemble the valve.

Step 10

Check how full the catch basin is. Empty it if necessary. Then put it back in the chamber.

Remove the IN hose from the container of flushing solution and leave it exposed. Leave the OUThose in the waste container.

Push and hold the PURGE button until all of the solution has been cycled back into the wastecontainer.




Step 11

Put the IN hose into the pretreatment container.

Hold the PURGE button for about 5 seconds just until pretreatment flows through out tube. You willhear solution being sprayed against the catch basin.

When machine is full, put the OUT hose in the pretreatment.

Your SpeedTreater-TX is now ready for spraying.

This flushing procedure should also be performed when switching from one type of pretreatment toanother.
