Does anyone know about what direction the ratchet wheel screw should be loosened?

Most go counterclockwise but this screw is either very tight or it should be loosened clockwise like the crown wheel screw.

thank you

OK, so just to be clear I should loosen it buy turning it clockwise?

Yes that should be right :) Clockwise to loose it and anticlockwise to tighten it.

I got the screw off but I have another problem totally new to me.

I had a strange chemical reaction in my ultrasound tub. A lot of brownish yellow material appeared from nowhere and has really made a mess of many of the parts.

I've never had this happen before. I'm not sure if has something to do with a chemical reaction between the cleaner I use and some of the metal parts on the AS589 or what. 

Has this happened to anyone else?

Very strange!

I have been using L&R cleaner and rinse in my US that was really made for use in mechanical cleaners. A few weeks ago, I had something similar happen, causing me to re-clean in my mechanical cleaner. I cleaned the SS pots with denatured alcohol and started with fresh cleaner and rinse. It has been fine since. I suspect that it was a reaction from a movement that had WD40 or something sprayed on it, or some other bad oil. I am not sure though. But it the symptoms were similar to what you describe.

What cleaner were you using?

I have been using Bergeron 6707 GerMarSol. I've always had good luck with it and this is the first time something like this has happened.

I will clean everything with alcohol before using the cleaning machine again.
