Instructions for using Pinnacle™

HOW TO USE PINNACLE IN YOUR DRYCLEANING SYSTEM.
To ensure maximum soil removal, whiteness retention, stain removal, and control of static and lint, add Pinnacle at the rate of 2 ounces per 10 pounds of cleaning. For example, when processing a 30 pound load, 6 ounces of Pinnacle should be added at the beginning of the cleaning cycle. In addition to providing excellent cleaning performance, this addition rate also provides safety and protection against wrinkling, shrinkage, and redeposition.

ADDING PINNACLE FOR THE FIRST TIME.
In order to ensure the best results, start with new or distilled solvent in the working tank and filter system. Purge all of the detergent from the addition pump and detergent feed lines.

Add Pinnacle to condition the system. This is necessary to ensure optimum performance. To calculate the amount of Pinnacle required, first estimate the total volume of solvent in the system by adding the volume of solvent in the main work tank to that estimated to be in the filter system and piping. The use the First Time Pinnacle Addition Table to determine the initial amount of Pinnacle necessary to condition the system prior to running the first load. Conditioning of the solvent in the system should be done any time the majority of the solvent in the system is replaced with new or distilled solvent.

If the volume of solvent in the system falls between the amounts listed in the table, simply add two or more volumes together to get the desired number. For example, if the system contains 150 gallons of solvent, add the amount of Pinnacle needed for 100 gallons (20 ounces) to the amount needed for 50 gallons (10 ounces) to equal the correct amount (30 ounces).

First Time Pinnacle Addition Table

Pinnacle can be added to the system either manually or automatically.

After adding Pinnacle, circulate the solvent through the washer, filter, piping and tank system by running a wash cycle without any garments in the wheel for 5 minutes. This ensures uniform distribution of Pinnacle before starting the first load.

ONE-BATH PROCESS
Be sure you have flushed the system of previously used detergent following the guidelines described under Adding Pinnacle for the First Time.

1. Fill to high solvent level from working tank.
2. Add 2 ounces of Pinnacle per 10 pounds of load.
3. Run cycle for 3 minutes without filtration, run pump circuit from wheel back into wheel.
4. Clean for 15-20 minutes through filter.
5. Run cleaning cycle with continuous filtration.
6. Drain and extract solvent to the work tank.
7. Dry as recommended.
8. Maintains a minimum distillation rate of 7-10 gallons per 100 pounds of cleaning.

TWO-BATH PROCESS
Be sure you have flushed the system of previously used detergent following the guidelines described under Adding Pinnacle for the First Time.

1. Fill to low solvent level from working tank.
2. Run cycle for 3 minutes without filtration.
3. Drain and extract solvent to still.
4. Fill from distilled tank to low solvent level.
5. Add 2 ounces of Pinnacle per 10 pounds of load.
6. Fill to high level from work tank.
7. Run cycle for three minutes without filtration, run pump circuit from wheel back into wheel.
8. Clean for 15-20 minutes through filter.
9. Run cleaning cycle with continuous filtration.
10. Drain and extract solvent to the work tank.
11. Dry as recommended.
