ANNUAL
MAINTENANCE
ChemFree Corporation recommends that the SmartWasher be
inspected and cleaned annually.
To Perform this Maintenance:
Remove the sink from the base. Inspect the surface of the
cleaning fluid and skim to remove any biomass or debris. Pump
the system fluid into acceptable storage containers until the oil,
floating on the top in the tank, starts coming out of the pump.
Shut the pump off and manually remove the remainder of the
fluid placing it in your oil waste. Rinse the inside of the machine
with water. Rinse the pump thoroughly with water being careful
not to get the control box wet. Visually check the condition of the
hoses, connectors, etc. If everything appears to be in good
working condition, reassemble the SmartWasher, replace the
OzzyMat with a new one, and pour the original fluid back into the
unit. If the "Add Fluid" light comes on, add a full container of
new OzzyJuice. If the "Add Fluid" light is still on, add another
container of OzzyJuice.

TROUBLE SHOOTING FLUID
Inadequate Cleaning of Parts
The SmartWasher will continue to clean parts even when the fluid
color has darkened and the OzzyMat is soiled. If, however, a
dramatic change in cleaning performance is noticed, it is
recommended that the old fluid be replaced with fresh OzzyJuice
and that the OzzyMat be replaced. If the cleaning performance
continues to remain unacceptable, call ChemFree Technical
Support.
Cold Fluid
The thermostat is factory-set to maintain the fluid at 105° F (+-5°)
(40° C) (+-3°). IF THE SMARTWASHER IS LOW ON FLUID,
THE HEATER AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. Check to see if the
"Add Fluid" indicator is lit (there should be approximately 8 in. (20
cm.) of fluid in the machine). If the "Add Fluid" light is lit, add a full
container of OzzyJuice (the light should go out). Allow a reasonable
warm up period and recheck. If the fluid is still cold, refer to
Troubleshooting Guide on page 6.
Hot Fluid
If the fluid becomes extremely hot at any time, unplug the unit
immediately. Check to make sure the unit is not low on fluid. (If
the "Add Fluid" light is not lit and fluid is low, the probe may be
defective). If unit is low on fluid, add fluid. If unit is still too hot
refer to Troubleshooting Guide on page 6.
Excessive Fluid Loss
If you are adding five gallons of OzzyJuice to the SmartWasher
more than once a month, check for the following:
1. A leak in the base of the unit.
2. Excessive amount of fluid being left on parts after they have
been washed. Shake excess fluid into sink before walking
away.
3. A gap between the base and the sink — check gasket, you
may need a new one. Also check for warpage of the sink or
base.
4. Rags being used in the SmartWasher. A shop rag absorbs at
least 4 oz. (120 milliliters) of fluid.
