Before You Begin
First Time Operation
The unit system is tested at the factory with special test fluids then completely drained. These test fluids
are compatible with diesel engine systems. Because the unit is dry, it will need to be primed before the
machine is put into service.
1. Fill the unit’s fuel filter completely with diesel fuel, approximately 1 quart (32 ounces, 0.95L).
Verify that the unit’s fuel filter is securely in place on the unit.
2. Check the OUTPUT/RETURN hoses, battery connections, and all external components.
3. Attach the unit to a vehicle battery by connecting the red battery clip to the positive (+) battery
terminal and connect the black battery clip to a solid ground (
8 - 30 Volts DC, 8 Amperes at
12VDC).
4. Pour 8 1/2 - 16 ounce bottles (136 ounces, 4.0L) of Detergent for Industrial Diesel Tune
into the unit‘s reservoir, and fill the tank up to the “1/4” LED on the Tank Level gauge with
diesel fuel (which will require approximately 104 ounces, 3.0L).
5. Connect the OUT/FILL (RED) hose and the RETURN hose to each end of the purge coupling,
using the Prime Adaptor (MV P/N 060-4700). This will allow the fuel to circulate and fill the
system with fuel.
6. Press the START button. The pump will supply fluid to the OUTPUT hose. Operate the system
in Prime mode for three minutes, then press the STOP button. Remove the Prime Adaptor. If
necessary add more diesel fuel till the Tank Level gauge indicates “1/4”.
The unit should now be primed and ready to add detergent and fuel for a full tank, if necessary:
7. Add another 9 - 16 ounce bottles (144 ounces, 4.25L) Detergent for Industrial Diesel Tune
into the unit’s reservoir. This amount of cleaner will provide enough solution to make a full tank
mixture
.
8. Add diesel to the reservoir until the indicator displays full tank (the F LED, which will require
approximately 144 ounces, 4.25L). The fuel may be added through filler of the tank, or by using
the Fill mode (see the Fuel System Cleaning Procedures Chapter). The unit is now ready for use.
The desired ratio is 1:1 - One part cleaning solvent to one part diesel fuel.
When mixing an external container, measure equal parts cleaner and fuel in a suitable
container. Keep container sealed when not in use.
