General Cleaning (Tank 1) - Omegasonics Viking Products Super Pro DX3 Operation & Instruction Manual

General Cleaning (Tank 1)

 Be careful not to overload the system and/or the baskets.
 Many times you can achieve better results by cleaning two smaller loads rather than
one large load.
 Baskets should be made from round stock (rod) whenever possible, rather than flat
stock that would reflect the ultrasonic energy.
 When lowering the items into the tank via baskets or tongs, be sure to arrange the
items so they are not touching the bottom of the tank. They should be suspended at
least ½" above the tank bottom. This can be achieved with the use of a tank rack.
 Items should not be stacked too densely.
 The volume of parts to be cleaned should not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total
tank volume.
 Once the timer has been set, activate the ultrasound by switching SONICS to ON.
 Cleaning times will vary depending on the temperature of the solution, the number of
parts to be cleaned, the amount of contamination and the amount and type of
cleaning agent used. Generally, small parts should be cleaned with the ultrasound
operating for three (3) to five (5) minutes.
 While the parts being cleaned do not require continuous supervision or labor
intensive cleaning, they should be inspected during the cleaning process.
 After the timer has cycled off, remove the items via basket and transfer them to Tank
2. Be careful not to overload the system and/or the baskets.
 If parts must be handled, wear gloves when touching surfaces to protect against
heated items
