1) Pour the dirty paint mixture to be recycled into the tank.
Do not exceed the 5 gallon capacity of the tank.
2) Add flocculant / coagulant to the dirty paint mixture. (Herkules
CoAgent P/N CA01 recommended.
NOTE: Herkules CoAgent recycling coagulant along with inner
and outer filter bags can be purchased online at www.herkules.us
3) If using Herkules CoAgent P/N CA01, add 1 tablespoon
per 5 gallons of dirty paint mixture.
4) Set the switch on the side of the Recycler to Agitator.
Stir mixture for 30 seconds during agitation. Allow
the dirty paint mixture / flocculant mix to agitate
for 30 to 120 seconds (dependent upon quality of
flocculant). Let the mixture sit for 30 seconds.
Return the agitator switch to the Off position.
Note: Repeat process if adequate separation does not
occur (dependent upon quality of flocculant).
5) Open the ball valve to allow the mixture to drain
through the filter bags. The filter bags capture the
paint debris, and the bucket captures the filtered cleaning
solution / water mixture that can be reused for cleaning.
Note: Reuse the cleaning solution / water mixture until it
becomes tacky to the touch. Dispose of all waste materials
according to local, state, and federal regulations.
6) Empty the paint waste out of the inner filter. Place inner
filter back on the filter holder for up to 10 uses.
Note: place solid waste onto a piece of cardboard to finish
drying. This will speed the process as the cardboard will
absorb the moisture from the paint debris.
7) Close the ball valve. Replace filter bags (P/N 1003348
& P/N 1003351) as needed.
8) Dispose of all waste materials according to all local, state,
and federal regulations.
9) Wipe inner tank after each use.
