Operating Instructions
Use the following steps to operate the flusher:
1. Turn the selection valve on the control panel to the OFF position.
2. Ground the flusher to the vehicle by attaching the ground clamp to the
negative battery terminal or other source of ground on the vehicle.
3. Add one gallon of flush solvent to the fill port.
4. Connect shop air to the unit’s air inlet (80–150 psi).
5. Install A/C component flush adapters as required to the vehicle A/C
components to be flushed. Connect the flusher discharge hose to the inlet
/ outlet of the component being flushed.
Recommended Flush/Backflush Procedure:
When flushing a condenser and/or high pressure liquid lines, flush from
the outlet end of unit first; then backflush in the opposite direction.
When flushing an evaporator, flush from the inlet side of the unit to the
outlet first; then backflush in the opposite direction.
This sequencing will ensure the maximum flushing action is obtained.
Solvent purges from the system faster after the flushing operations are
completed.
6. Connect the return hose to the remaining adapter.
