TROUBLESHOOTING
LOW OR NO FLUID FLOW FROM BRUSH
AND/OR NOZZLE
Check the following for problems:
1. Make sure that the valves at the base of the nozzle and
brush are open. If a stronger flow through either device is
needed, turn the valve on the unused tool to the closed
position.
2. Hoses from the pump to the nozzle and brush could be
clogged, pinched or disconnected. Check the hoses from the
pump to the nozzle making sure they are in working order.
3. Hose connections should be secure and not leaking.
4. Make sure SmartWasher is not low on fluid.
5. The pump could be malfunctioning. (Refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide on page 6). The pump comes with a
one year factory warranty. If the pump is faulty, call your local
distributor or ChemFree technical support to order your
warranty replacement. Have the serial number of the
SmartWasher unit available when calling.
FLUID BACKUP IN FALSE BOTTOM, SINK,
OR ON OZZYMAT
If fluid is backing up in the false bottom, sink or on the OzzyMat,
check the following:
1. Strainer in the false bottom is clogged. Remove the strainer
and clean out debris that is clogging the strainer.
2. Obstruction of drain hole(s) or overflow holes in false bottom
— clean out the drain holes.
3. Blocked or dirty OzzyMat: Replace OzzyMat with a fresh
one. Dispose of used OzzyMat properly.

EXCESSIVE OIL DUMPED IN SYSTEM
If excessive oil is dumped into the SmartWasher, take the
following steps to remedy the situation:
1. Unplug the SmartWasher and lift the sink off the base.
2. Skim excessive oil off the top of the OzzyJuice or place an
absorbent pad on top of the fluid, soak up the oil and
dispose of it in accordance with local regulations.
3. In extreme cases, it may be necessary to replace all of the
OzzyJuice in the SmartWasher. Dispose of contaminated
OzzyJuice and OzzyMats according to local regulations.
4. If you replace all of the OzzyJuice, rinse the base of the
SmartWasher to remove all excess oil and dirt.
5. Once unit has been cleaned, replace the sink and add a
new OzzyMat and 25 gallons (five 5-gallon containers) of
new OzzyJuice.
FLUID DISCOLORATION OR ODOR
OzzyJuice may become dark in color due to dyes in oils or
greases removed from dirty parts. This will not affect its cleaning
power. If the fluid should develop a strong odor, it may be
contaminated and you should call ChemFree Technical Support
for assistance in diagnosing the problem.
FLUID SPILLAGE ONTO FLOOR
OzzyJuice will cause the floor to become slippery. Use caution
when walking in or near spilled fluid. To clean up an accidental
spill of new, unused fluid simply soak up the solution with an
absorbent material, (or hose spillage down the nearest sanitary
sewer). If the spilled OzzyJuice has been used, you must
dispose of the spillage in accordance with local regulations.
If left to dry, the fluid will leave a tacky spot on the floor that
when wet will again become slippery.
