Routine Flushing
If a complete rebuild is not required, flushing the GaugeCal XP can serve as a quick and simple way
to remove small amounts of dirt or sediment from the system. Flushing can also be used to ensure
that any air is removed from the system prior to performing a calibration test. Flushing the unit
should never serve as a substitute for a rebuild; and remember that any service beyond a routine
flush should always be performed by a qualified technician.
Flushing Instructions
1 Remove all gauges from the GaugeCal
XP
pressure comparator.
2 To completely open the reservoir, wind the handle counter-clockwise until you feel it stop.
3 Securely grip the front of the Baseplate (near the bearing block) and lift to tip the GaugeCal
XP
on its end. Any fluid in the system will run out through the rear Gauge Base port.
4 Set the unit back down, flat on the Baseplate, and begin to pour warm soapy water or clean
hydraulic oil into the reservoir. Continue to fill the unit until the fluid begins to run out of the
Gauge Base ports. Always dispose of fluids in a responsible manner.
5 Once again, tip the GaugeCal
XP
on its end until all of the fluid in the system has drained out.
6 Set the unit back down, then wind the handle clockwise at least 10 turns, then fill the reservoir
with test fluid to within 6mm (1/4") from the top.
7 Follow the operator instructions supplied with your GaugeCal
XP
to fill the system and begin
calibration testing.
CAUTION: Solvents can damage o-rings and should never be used when flushing or otherwise
cleaning the GaugeCal
