Park Tool Chain Gang Chain Cleaner

Has anyone used the Park Tool Chain Gang Chain Cleaner? I just got it, then used it for the first time. It seems to work well enough, but the cleaning fluid was giving me a fit.

The instructions said to run it 30 pedal revolutions, empty and clean the unit, then run 30 more revolutions. After that you are supposed to dry the chain, then lube the chain. Well, I kept running the chain through a Terry Cloth Towel, and it has so far not really dried. It was splashing thin black cleaning fluid onto the frame. It has SLOWLY subsided, but I am afraid if I lube the chain, it will be way too wet. The cleaning fluid seems to be water based and not a rapid evaporative cleaner. This is probably due in large part to the plastic construction of the tool. Is it possible that the instructions are wrong and the cleaning fluid also has lubricant in it?
