StartUp Procedures
Warning: These instructions must be followed or damage to the machine will result.
Step 1: Close the drain valve (see location on pages 26 - 28). On machines equipped with Auto Fill and Auto
Drain, the drain valve will automatically close when the Auto Fill button is pushed.
Step 2
: Open the main water supply valve (if the machine is equipped with the Auto Fill option, skip to Step
3), then open the fill valve (see location on pages 26 - 28). Fill the machine to the level of the scrap
trays. The machine is equipped with a low water protection device and will not run without sufficient
water in the wash tank.
Step 3 : With the circuit breakers in the control panel of the machine in the "OFF" position and the main power
supply to the machine connected, the ON-OFF switch on the button panel can be turned to the "ON"
position. This should light the amber power light. If not, check this bulb and the other two bulbs to
make certain they are tight.
Machines equipped with the Auto Fill option can now be filled by pressing the Auto Fill button. (If the building
supply pressure is quite high, some water may run out the overflow at the end of the fill cycle.)
Note: The machine has a door safety switch and will not operate with the door partially open.
Step 4 : With the machine full of water and with the door closed, press the start button and let the machine go
through a complete cycle. The timers in the control panel will go through their sequence, lighting the
wash and rinse lights on the front of the machine. The cycle is complete when the clear and red light go
off and the amber light stays on. The pump will not run at this time because the pump circuit breaker in
the control panel is in the "OFF" position.
Step 5 : Repeat Step 4 one more time or until water can be heard spraying out of the rinse nozzles. This ensures
that the rinse tank is full of water before the heating element is energized.
Step 6 : All circuit breakers in the control panel can now be switched to the "ON" position. This will energize
the heating system in the wash and rinse tanks.
Step 7 : Check the pump for proper rotation by pressing the start button and observing the wash pressure gauge
on the front of the machine for 5 to 10 seconds. Then press the stop button. The wash pressure should
be 45- 60 psi. If the pressure is erratic and only rises to about 25 psi, the pump is running backwards.
The pump will also have a noticeable growl when running backwards. The outside two wires that feed
the power block in the control panel should be reversed. Run the pump again to confirm that it is
operating correctly.
