Ventilation
There are three different options for the unit's ventilation.
all three options, it must be ensured that the speed of the air flow
at the opening of the hood complies with local laws and regulations.
The ventilation must be connected in such a way as to ensure
the grounding of all parts.

ventilator via a metal ducting. The exhaust from the ventilator
must be led outdoors.
PERMITTED SOLVENTS
The unit can be used with solvents and solvent mixtures
intended for spray-gun cleaning, such as acetone, toluene,
isobutanol, xylene that are listed as Group IIA according to IEC
79-20 (EN 60079-20).
The unit can also be used with water or water based solvents.
All solvents must have a pH value between 4 and 10. Be sure
not to mix water-based solvents with thinner-based solvents. It
is important that all users are informed of what solvent is being
used, at all times.
Never use any solvent if it is not provided with an MSDS (Mate-
rial Safety Data Sheet). Read the MSDS carefully, and follow all
the instructions and procedures provided in the MSDS. If un-
sure, or if more information is needed concerning the solvent,
please contact your solvent supplier.
Do not add other chemicals to the solvent including, but not
limited to, kerosene, gasoline, detergents, fuel oil or chlorinated
solvents.
PERMITTED SOLVENT DRUMS
The DRESTER BOXER DOUBLE S can be used with different

types of drums, but they must comply with the following:
– The drums must fit into the unit
For
– The drums must be leak-free.
– The drums must be made of a conductive material.
– Check for local regulations concerning max allowed volume
for keeping solvent in the unit
Solvent drums are not provided by Hedson Technologies, thus
Hedson Technologies does not take any responsibility for the
drums. Follow the solvent supplier's instructions carefully.
COLLECTING TRAY
The unit must be installed in such a way as to prevent acciden-
tal leakage of solvent from spreading into a drain water system,
thus representing a hazard to the environment. This can be
done by:
– installing the unit in a location where floor and walls can
hold any accidental drum leakage, or
– equipping the unit with a collecting tray beneath the
solvent drums that is large enough to hold the volume of at
least one leaking drum.
PREPARATIONS FOR USE
Solvent drums
Remove the front panel (item 5 illustration 1) by lifting it up-
and-out.
Remove the foot-pedal console (items 6 illustration 1) by lifting
it up and folding it out to the side (see illustration 2).
Two drums are needed, one drum that is
of solvent.
full
Both drums must be of the same size
must meet the requirements described under chapter PERMIT-
TED SOLVENT DRUMS. Both drums must be clean on the inside
and they must not contain any solids or other objects that
could be sucked into the pumps when running.
Drum plugs
There are several types of solvent drums on the market, each
with different diameter of the opening. With the unit, card-
board boxes with a selection of tapered plugs are supplied (see
illustration 3). Select the plugs that fit well into the opening of
the drums, and fit them onto the drum adaptors of the hoses
(see illustration 4).
Solvent fill-up
Use one empty drum and another drum of the same size full of
clean solvent.
Place the empty drum to the left underneath the unit (item 2
illustration 2). Insert the group of hoses containing the drain
hose from the sink into this drum (item 4 illustration 2). Make
sure that the hoses are properly led well down into the drum,
and that the opening is well sealed by the tapered plug.
