Heater Control
The heater control is a 12-hour timer switch. It controls
the heating element in the sump chamber. The heating
system is thermostatically set at the factory to reach a
high temperature of 180°F. The temperature is adjust-
able using the thermostat (See Adjusting the Thermo-
stat). The 3-phase units have an adjustable
temperature knob - check temperature setting prior to
use.

Wash Cycle Control

The wash cycle control is a 60-minute timer switch with
a hold feature. When set between 1 and 60 minutes,
the timer automatically shuts off the pump and turntable
when the wash cycle is complete. When set to Hold,
the pump and turntable run continuously until manually
shut off.
Skimmer Control
The skimmer control is a 30-minute timer switch. It
controls the automatic oil skimmer.

Turntable Switch

The turntable switch is a simple rocker switch that
enables you to disconnect power to the turntable motor.
Set to ON, the turntable rotates during the wash cycle.
Set to OFF, the turntable does not rotate during the
wash cycle. The switch is useful for washing large parts
that would otherwise impede turntable rotation.

Low Water Indicator

The low water indicator light illuminates if the wash
solution in the sump is low. For more information refer
