To begin using the tool:
1.
As a standard practice, drain water from the air
compressor tank and air lines prior to use each day
(reference your compressor operators manual for
detailed instructions).
2. Install a 1/4” NPT female connector (not included)
onto the air inlet port on the tool (see Figure 2).
Note: Use Teflon® Tape on all threaded
connections.
3. Turn on the air compressor and allow it to build up
pressure.
4. Adjust the air compressor’s regulator or the supply
line regulator to 90 PSI.
5. Connect the tool to the air hose quick coupler. NOTE: It is recommended that a whip hose with a swivel
(P012-0079SP - not included) be used to prevent twisting, kinking and excessive wear to the air hose
(ref. item “F” in figure 1 for recommended connections).
To prevent personal injury, the trigger must not be depressed when the air supply is
connected. Keep fingers away from the trigger when connecting the engine cleaning
tool to the air line.
6. The engine cleaning gun is designed to operate with air or liquid as a cleaning agent.
For use with air:
a. Close the flow control valve (the knob on the top side of the engine cleaning gun - see Figure 2).
b. Grasp the handle firmly and press the trigger to start the flow of air.
c Release the trigger to stop the flow of air.
Never point the engine cleaning gun toward yourself or anyone else, or serious
injury could occur. Spray at an angle that directs reflected spray away from people in
the area.
For use with liquid:
a. Attach the suction tube (included with this tool) to the fluid inlet barbed fitting at the rear of
the engine cleaning gun (see Figure 2).
b. Place the strainer end of the suction tube into the liquid being sprayed.
Never use flammable chemicals in this tool. Use only non-flammable cleaners such
as a water reducible degreaser or water.
c. Open the flow control valve (the knob on the top side of the engine cleaning gun - see
Figure 2) three full turns.
d. Grasp the handle firmly and pull the trigger and allow approximately 5 seconds for the
solution to reach the spray nozzle.
e. To obtain the desired liquid flow, adjust the flow control valve.
f. Release the trigger to stop the flow of liquid.
Always unplug any electrically operated products before cleaning to avoid an
electrical shock.
Never use this engine cleaning gun on a hot engine.
