Reciprocating Water Bath 14
MAINTENANCE
Warning: Prior to any maintenance or service on this unit, disconnect the power cord from the power
supply and the drain water from the tank. Before reattaching the unit to its power supply, be
sure all volatile and flammable cleaners are evaporated and dry.
Draining Tank
1. Position the left side of the water bath over a sink or appropriate receptacle large enough to hold the
quantity of water to be drained (15 liters or 4 gallons for the SWBR17 and SWBR17-2 (WS17 WS17-
2) or 27 liters or 7.1 gallons for the SWB27 and SWBR27-2 (WS27 WS27-2).
2. Using a small wrench, remove the plug from the drain tube and allow the water to flow out. The drain
tube is supplied with 1/8-inch female pipe threads.
3. The drain plug could be replaced with a tube fitting or valve, whichever is convenient for your
installation.
Cleaning
1. Clean the water bath with mild soap and water solution. DO NOT USE chlorine-based bleaches, as
they will damage the tank interior. DO NOT USE spray cleaners that may contain solvents, which
could leak through openings and cracks and harm electrical part coatings. Failure to do this may
permanently damage the unit.
2. Rinse the water bath with clean water and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Stainless steel does not rust, but
foreign materials in the tank may rust or leave rust spots. If corrosion is seen, scrub out the stains
with a mild abrasive, never steel wool.
Storage
If the unit is to be shut down for an extended period of time, the tank must be emptied and cleaned as
described above. No adjustments to controls should be necessary when the unit is put back in service.
If you are shutting the unit down for transport, perform the following steps:
1. Turn the unit off.
2. Disconnect from the power supply.
3. Remove the oscillating rack and bath cover.
4. Empty and clean the tank.
5. Please see Lifting and Handling for further instruction.
6. No maintenance is required on any of the electrical components.
