Flushing a Component

Use the following steps to flush a component:
1. Turn the filter valve to FILTER.
2. Turn the selection valve to FLUSH.
3. The AIR AGITATION valve can be opened during the flush cycle to

control the amount of air bubbles being injected into the solvent. The
intensity of the air agitation can be viewed through the sight glass on the
control panel.

4. After flushing for 20 minutes, turn the selection valve to OFF.

Purging a Component

Use the following steps to purge the solvent from a component:
1. Open the selection valve slightly (toward PURGE) until most liquid

solvent has been purged from the inlet and discharge hoses.

2. Turn the filter valve to BYPASS.
3.

Slowly turn the selection valve all the way to PURGE.

Note: Slowly opening the selection valve to PURGE reduces solvent odors
and extends the life of the carbon filter element.

4. Purge the system for a minimum of 30 minutes to completely evacuate

any traces of flushing solvent from the component.

5. Turn the selection valve to OFF.
