Setup Instructions
Receiving
The shipment should be thoroughly inspected as
soon as it is received. The signed bill of lading is
acknowledgement, by the carrier, of receipt in good
condition of the shipment covered by our invoice.
If any of the goods called for on this bill of lading are
shorted or damaged, do not accept them until the carrier
makes a notation of the shorted or damaged goods on
the freight bill. Do this for your own protection.
NOTIFY THE CARRIER AT ONCE if any hidden loss or
damage is discovered after receipt and request him to
make an inspection. If the carrier will not do so, prepare
an affidavit to the effect that you have so notified the
carrier (on a certain date) and that he failed to comply
with your request.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO COLLECT FOR LOSS OR DAM-
AGE AFTER YOU HAVE GIVEN THE CARRIER A CLEAR
RECEIPT.
File your claim with the carrier promptly. Support
your claim with copies of the bill of lading, freight bill,
invoice, and photographs, if possible.
Although AMMCO’s responsibility ceases upon
delivery of shipment to the carrier, we will gladly assist
in tracing lost shipments. Our willingness to assist
in every possible manner does not make AMMCO
responsible for collection of claims or replacement of
lost or damaged materials.

Assembly
1. Remove machine from shipping carton and inspect
for any damage. Report any damage to the delivering
carrier.
2. Install the four casters and hold-down brackets to
the base using the hardware supplied. Place the locking
casters directly across from each other. Do not tighten
fasteners yet.
3. Place the drum into the base making sure it fits
completely to the bottom. Now tighten caster and
bracket fasteners.
4. Fill unit with the proper amount of water (1/2 full).
Pour one quart of AMMCO cleaner into the barrel.
5. Make sure the basin is locked to the drum using
the snap ring.
6. Connect the unit to your air supply.
7. Make sure brush and spigot assemblies remain
inside of basin whenever pump is on.
Operating Instructions
Note: Do not add air tool oil or other oils to air inlet of
washer. Oils could damage the air pump and will void
the warranty.
1. Connect shop air to washer. The air regulator on
the washer is pre-set and cannot be adjusted. The maxi-
mum air pressure that can be supplied to the washer is
200 psi.
2. The pump will automatically function when the
valve lever is depressed on either the brush or the flex
spout.
Note: It will take a few seconds to prime the fluid
system the first time it is used. After the initial priming,
do not let the pump run dry. Damage to the pump could
occur which will void the warranty.
3. Store cover on basin when the washer is not in use
to help prevent evaporation of cleaning solution. This
also prevents any asbestos in the dried solutions from
becoming air-born.
4. The cover can be used as a catch basin when doing
brake work on the floor or on a service/alignment rack.
Thoroughly rinse cover into basin after using.
Disc Brakes
1. Simply saturate the entire brake assembly using
the flex spout prior to working on brakes.
Note: Never use the brush to clean brake friction
material that will not be replaced nor drums or rotors
that won’t be turned. Any oil or grease that might be
on the brush could be transferred to these brake com-
ponents.
Drum Brakes
1. Before loosening or removing drum, use the flex
spout to wet the outside and inside of the drum and
brake assembly; first, between the drum and backing
plate. Then, if the vehicle had adjustment slots; remove
the plug and insert the flex spout to wet the inside.
2. If you are doing an inspection, wet the inside of
the drum everywhere except the area between the 10
o’clock and the 2 o’clock to make it easier to determine
if the wheel cylinder is leaking..
