REMOVAL OF THE FLUID SECTION

release fluid pressure from the system before disconnecting hoses or tie rods. Release Surge
Chamber charge before removing Surge Chamber. System may be under pressure and could
cause injury.
•
Remove Pickup Wands from drums and drain or, shut off supply to Fluid Sections.

At this point it is advisable to switch the supply lines to approved solvent to flush the system if
possible.
•
Set operating pressure at 0 psi.
•
Open recirculation valve and/or gun to purge pressure from fluid sections. Let drain until as much
fluid as possible had been purged.
•
Turn air pressure to a very low setting, just enough to cycle the Fluid Sections.
•
Cycle the Fluid Sections a few times very slowly to remove as much material from the cylinder(s)
as possible or if flushing with solvent, until solvent is being purged out.

Remove Surge Chamber/Filter Assembly from bottom of Fluid Section.
