Installation Help

NEW OR USED MART & STINGRAY PARTS WASHER: Whether your MART Power Washer or StingRay Parts Washer parts cleaning system is new or used, StingRay Tech Services is available to help you with setup, training, parts, retrofits or anything else required to maximize the benefits of your washer. Our technical assistance is free, so you are encouraged to contact us for help.

StingRay Tech Services is continuously developing new retrofits and upgrades for used MART Parts Washers and StingRay Parts Washers. Many used MART washers are placed into new parts cleaning applications that they were not originally configured to handle.  Likewise the technology that was required of the used MART washer did not exist at the time of construction.  StingRay Tech Services can add the new features and make changes to used MART parts washers.  This work can be done in the field or at the StingRay factory. Common conversions include converting among the standard heat sources of electric heat, steam heat or gas heat, changes to the machine operating voltage, adding a modern control panel or the addition of an oil skimmer or automatic rinse system.

StingRay Parts Washer Start-up & Training

StingRay Tech Services START-UP

The Field Startup Procedure is conducted on-site by a factory trained and authorized StingRay Service Technician.  The start-up can only occur after the Parts Washer is installed and services are connected to the system. Simply provide our StingRay Customer Care Specialist with your completed prestart-up checklist, installation photos to begin the scheduling process.

NOTE: If the Washer’s heat source is natural gas or propane, be sure to schedule the local gas company or boiler technician will need to check operating parameters of the gas burner to ensure compliance with local codes. The gas technician or boiler technician will need to perform a combustion  flue gas analysis and make stack temperature readings as well as measure incoming gas pressures.  The gas technician or boiler technician will adjust the burner operation as outlined in the Operating manual and Gas Burner Manuals.

Following is a summary of the on-site services performed by the StingRay Tech Services Field Technician during a start-up:

INSPECTION:  Technician inspects the Parts Washer shipping damage both visible and hidden; he inspects the installation and verifies that all utilities are properly connected; including verification of the incoming voltage. The Technician checks all electrical and other critical connections on the parts washer; inspects the installation of Steam Exhaust Venturi and Blower and piping and gas flue, will make adjustments and settings as required, measures and records amp draws and voltages of all circuits and compares them against factory final inspection test results and makes any setting adjustments as required. Our factory Technician also checks for proper leveling of the machine and for proper machine base shims and anchoring; verifies the utility input connections of heat, air, water, and electrical grounding; checks utility output connections including the Steam Exhaust,  gas flue and system drain.
