Before You Begin
Diesel systems
First Time Operation
The unit 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 during shipping, it will be necessary
to prime the machine before it is put into service.
1. Fill the units fuel filter completely with diesel fuel, approximately 1quart (0.95 L). 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 (
11-15 Volts DC, 8
amperes at 12VDC).
4. Pour 3 - 16 ounce cans (48 ounces, 1.42L) of Detergent for Industrial Diesel Tune
into the unit‘s reservoir, and 1/8 of a gallon (16 ounces, 0.47L) of diesel fuel. See page 6-2,
Figure A for alternate filling procedure.
5. Connect the DIESEL SIDE output ( red ) hose and the return (black) hose to each other
using a matched pair of adapters. This will allow the fuel to circulate and fill the system with
solution.
6. Switch the ON/OFF switch to the on position. NOTE: Alarm will sound
continually until pump starts.
7. Press and hold the START/ON switch, the pump will supply fluid to the output hose.
Operate the system in this Prime mode for three minutes, then release START/ON switch,
and turn off the ON/OFF switch. Remove the adaptor.
The unit should now be primed and ready for service.
8. Disconnect battery connections if unit is not to put into immediate use.
The desired ratio is 1:1 - One part cleaning detergent to one part diesel fuel can be added if
additional cleaner/fuel solution is needed.
When mixing in an external container, measure equal parts cleaner and fuel in a suitable
container. Keep container sealed when not in use.
