  • Page 5: Introduction

    The heavy-duty system and precision fixed-ration chemical injectors ensure consistent outputs and results. The PEM system features an optional air-activated gel pump. This allows the operator to apply gel products to metal surfaces that standard cleaners cannot handle.
  • Page 6: Limited Warranty

    Limited warranty PEM Corporation warrants each machine sold by us to be free from manufacturing defects in normal service for 90 days commencing with the delivery of the machine to the original owner.
  • Page 7 PEM Corporation makes no warranty with the respect to trade accessories. They are subject to the warranties of their manufacturers.
  • Page 8: Safety

    Also be review and follow the safety decals on the machine. Note: PEM Corporation encourages the use of environmentally friendly chemicals and waste storage and disposal practices. Always store and/or dispose of chemicals in a manner that complies with local, state and federal regulations.
  • Page 9 Warning: Operate and maintain the machine in a manner that prevents injury to you and others and damage to equipment. Specifically: • Never alter or modify the equipment. • Never exceed the factory pressure or temperature rating of the system. Be sure all accessory equipment and system components used will withstand the pressure developed.
  • Page 10 • Always be certain that the machine safety decals are kept clean and legible. Replace any decals that become damaged, lost or painted over. • Always disconnect the electrical plug before performing any repairs or service on machine. • Never attempt repairs or modifications that you do not understand. Contact your service dealer or contractor.
  • Page 11 • Do not use the hose if cuts, leaks, abrasions, bulges or coupling damage is evident. • Do not use the hose if any reinforcement is exposed. • Do not attempt field repairs through an unauthorized hydraulic hose repair shop. Special couplings and crimping specifications are required for steam and high-pressure washer discharge hose.

    Installation Machine delivery and inspection Before unpacking, check the machine for any damage that may have occurred during shipment. Note any damage and immediately contact the carrier to make a damage or shortage claim. Machine identification The machine model number, serial number and specifications are stamped on an identification plate that is permanently attached to the right rear side of the machine main frame.
  • Page 13: Machine Setup

    Danger: Do not locate the machine in a small, enclosed area. Without adequate ventilation, incomplete combustion carbon monoxide and overheating will result. Carbon monoxide can cause death. If the machine must be located out of sight of the operator, special equipment or controls may be required to provide proper operation and ensure operator safety.
  • Page 14: Mechanical (Gas) Service

    To further ensure machine grounding, a separate external grounding lug has been provided. It is located below the nameplate. In certain areas, it is either recommended or required that a separate ground wire be attached to this lug and to an available ground source, such as a metal water line or ground rod. (See Figure 2).
  • Page 15: Guide To Gas Line Pipe Size

    Butane or propane gas-fired machines: Operate on 11” (3.6 oz.) water column pressure. These propane (LP) gas machines are not equipped with a gas regulator. Therefore, install on the LP tank a gas regulator (see Figure 3) of sufficient size to allow for pressure drop from the tank to the machine.

  • Page 17: Water Supply

    Water supply Connect the machine to a cold water supply tap in the back of the machine (see Figure 6). The water supply must equal to at least 1.5 times the gallon per minute (gpm) output of the machine. If wide variations in water pressure occur, install a pressure regulator in the supply line.

  • Page 19: Initial Start-Up

    Initial start-up Control panel Warning: To assure safe operation, familiarize yourself with the machine controls and indicator lights before starting or operating the machine. See Figure 8. Switches Pump switch – This switch will start the pump operation. Turn on this switch to start the pump motor.
  • Page 20: Temperature Control

    Temperature control Located to the right of the indicator lights, this knob (Figure 9) is turned to set the water temperature (210° F Max). The burner will cycle on and off to maintain the selected water temperature. Caution: Left loose, the gun or wand assembly could damage and cause injury to personal or property damage.
  • Page 21: Initial Startup Procedure

    Initial startup procedure 1. Inspect connections for any leaks and tighten if necessary. 2. With the nozzle removed from the wand, turn on the Pump switch to start the pump. 3. Run the machine for 1 minute. Operate the trigger once or twice. 4.
  • Page 22: Adjusting Chemical Concentration

    Continue to hold the trigger until the burner extinguishes, and then turn the Pump switch off. This will prevent damage to the machine. Do not attempt to restart the machine, and contact PEM. Ph: 507-345-1512 Fax: 507-345-5828 email: paulk@spraywand.com...
  • Page 23 Note: When using the optional acidic injection system, the operator can switch from wash mode to rinse mode by closing the siphon valve on the optional injector between freshwater and seal rinse, but the rinse will be 1500 psi and could cause the coating to wash away.
  • Page 24: Daily Operation

    Daily Operation Starting the machine 1. Ensure the neutralizer line is in the wash bay drain and the coil conditioners line is in the float tank (see Figure 8). 2. Turn on the Burner switch. 3. Turn on the Pump switch. Note: The pump is designed to operate in either direction;...
  • Page 25: Winterizing The Machine

    Winterizing the machine Caution: Do not store the machine where it will be subject to freezing temperatures, otherwise severe damage will occur. If it must be stored where the temperature is below 32° F/0° C, winterize the machine as follows: 1.
  • Page 26: Predictive Maintenance

    Predictive maintenance Warning: To prevent damage to the machine and injury of personnel, make daily inspections of the machine for anything that could cause damage, fire or any other safety problem. Warning: To prevent injury from electric shock or accidental machine startups, disconnect the electrical power supply before servicing any part of the machine.
  • Page 27: Water Inlet Tank Filter Screen

    Water inlet tank filter screen The stainless steel screen located in the float tank (see Figure 9) prevents foreign material from entering the pump. Check the screen frequently to ensure that it does not clog. Caution: To prevent damage, never operate the machine with the filter screen removed.

    1- End cap 2- Rubber seat 3- White ring 4- Element 5- Spring 6- Body Figure 14: High-pressure filter Heating coil descaling With any heating coil, water deposits can settle on the inner wall of the steel pipe, causing several problems. These scale deposits act as an insulator, limiting water temperature rise and causing hot spots where the coil starts to deteriorate.
  • Page 31 Descale the coil as follows: 1. Disconnect the hose leading from the unloader valve to the bottom of the coil at the unloader. Connect the discharge hose from the descaler to the hose leading to the coil. 2. Disconnect the hose leading from the high-pressure coil to the thermostat.
  • Page 32: Machine Exterior

    Machine exterior Clean the exterior of the machine with a mild detergent. Danger: Do not clean or wash the machine using its own spray gun. The machine is water protected but not water proof. Cleaning the machine in this matter will increase the risk of serious or fatal electrical shock and damage to the machine.
  • Page 33: Repair

    Repair Pump Servicing the pumping section The three inlet and three discharge valves are identical and can be serviced without disrupting the inlet or discharge piping using a valve kit available from the manufacturer. Two kits will be needed to repair all the valves in the pump. The kit includes new O-rings and a valve assemblies (valve seat, poppet, spring and retainer all preassembled).
