Instructions for the CPA-2 and CPP-2 Processors
10. Processing Instructions With the JOBO Lift Accessory
1 Practice mounting and removing a tank or drum on the JOBO Lift, before you start actual processing.
Note:
The retention clip may snap loudly when removing the tank or drum. This sound is normal. When lowering the lift, the cog gear will mesh with the transfer gear. They may make a 'thunk' noise as they engage. This sound is normal too.
2 Check that the correct chemical/wash outlet (on the lift arm, looks like two horizontal nozzles one above the other) has been selected by plugging the unused outlet with the bell-shaped red cap. (The upper outlet is only used for 3000 series drums; all others use the lower outlet.)
3 Set the roller block assembly and rollers in the proper position, for the tank or drum being used. Make sure the rollers are not under the red locking ring (or black bands on the 3000 series) of the tank or drum.
Note:
Special black rollers with stainless steel shafts (#92167) are available to reduce friction and wear. They are recommended for Expert Drum use, and are suitable for use with any tank or drum.
4 To mount a tank or drum, push the lid assembly straight into the outlet on the JOBO Lift. The retention clip will snap the lid into place.
5 To remove the tank or drum, grasp the bottom end of the tank or drum and pull up and toward you. The retention clip will release the lid.
Note:
Expert Drums should then be tilted vertically over the upper trough, before leaving the processor, to drain the water from the bottom tempering slots.
6 The final rinse of a process should have at least the first three cycles of rinsing done with the JOBO Lift, even if you are planning to finish the rinse off the processor. This action rinses the JOBO Lift and leaves it prepared for the next process run. At the end of a processing session, or when switching processes, flush the interior of the JOBO Lift by pouring about a liter (quart) of clean water into the funnel on the top of the lift (with a large empty tank attached) and drain the tank.
7 When raising and lowering the JOBO Lift, do not stop the rotation motor.
8 When pouring liquids into the JOBO Lift funnel, pour steadily so liquid does not overflow the built-in funnel. Pouring too rapidly can cause some liquid to flow out the drain, or leak into the motor unit, causing damage. It is normal for a few drops of chemicals to flow out the drain hose of the JOBO Lift when pouring in chemicals. Always place the end of the hose into a drain or container when pouring into the JOBO Lift.
