PLIANCE TO O.S.H.A REGULATIONS.
DISPOSAL OF FILTERS AND CLEANING SOLUTION
The AMMCO 1350 and 1450 Brake Washers
have been designed to comply with federal,
state, and local regulations concerning the dis-
posal of liquid and solid wastes. However,
these regulations do vary from place-to-place
and it is the shop owner/manager’s responsi-
bility to comply with all applicable regulations.
FILTER STOCK (MODEL 1450)
If the filter sock becomes full, there will be stand-
ing water in the pan. Remove drain grate, pull up
on filter sock, and discard sock in accordance with
you local waste disposal regulations in plastic bag
provided. Replace with new sock. The Filter Sock
is included with the Model 1350 - see CLEANING
SOLUTION Section for intended usage.
FILTER MAT (MODEL 1350)
Solid wasted collected on the filter mat should be
placed in a plastic bag and disposed of in accor-
dance with your local regulations. The entire filter
mat should be replaced when it becomes worn or
damaged. Dispose of filter mat in a plastic bag in
accordance with your local regulations.
SOLUTION CARTRIDGE FILTER (Model 1450 only)
When solution does not flow in a continuous
stream, replace the cartridge filter on the side of
the barrel. Unscrew filter canister, remove and dis-
card dirty cartridge filter in accordance with your
local waste disposal regulations in plastic bag pro-
vided. Replace with a new cartridge and
hand-tighten canister.
CLEANING SOLUTION
Every four months, or more often as required, the
cleaning solution should be replaced to allow the
washer to continue its cleaning efficiency. Tape or
clamp valve levers open so the cleaning solution
can be pumped down a sanitary sewer in accor-
dance with your local waste disposal regulations.
For the Model 1350, place guns in Filter Sock
before pumping solution into sewer.
NOTE: NEVER DISPOSE OF CLEANING SOLUTION
INTO A STORM SEWER.
When most of the solution has been pumped out
and the fluid is not a solid stream, add one or two
gallons of water to the washer pan. Disconnect air
supply to the washer when the clean rinse water is
almost gone.
NOTE: DO NOT LET PUMP RUN DRY. DAMAGE TO
PUMP WILL OCCUR THAT WILL VOID
WARRANTY.
Un-tape valve levers, fill barrel to the “FILL LINE”
with water, and add one quart of AMMCO cleaner.
(Model 1450). Add
1 ⁄
3
quart of AMMCO cleaner to
3 gallons of water for Model 1350.
NOTE: WEAR EYE PROTECTION AND RUBBER
GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THE CONCEN-
TRATED CLEANER.
When replacing the cleaning solution, it is a good
practice to replace all filters at the same time.
It is a good practice to establish a regular routine
for replacing all filters and cleaning solution, such
as every month or two months. The interval for
your unit will depend on local conditions, types of
vehicles serviced, and your volume of brake work.
Also, the interval for changing the solution may be
different than that for the filters.
