After Use Instructions:1. Flushtheunitwithfreshwaterfor5minutes.2. Disconnecttheairlinefromtheairfitting(AP25)and

relieveanyremainingpressureinthesystembyopeningthedischargevalve(HV60).

3. Closethedischargevalve(HV60)afterallpressurehasbeenrelievedfromthesystem.

Maintenance Instructions:Note:Disconnectcoupler(FACI14)fromairlinesonthebackoftheunitbeforeopeningthebackplateandservicingtheunit.

Tokeepyourportableunitoperatingproperly,periodicallyperformthefollowingmaintenanceprocedures:• Checktheairpump(P56/P56K/P56V)forwearandleaks.• Inspecthosesforleaksorexcessivewear.Makesureall

hoseclampsareingoodconditionandproperlysecured.• Replacefilter(AFR25)inregulator(R25)asneeded.• Checkthesuctiontubeandscreenfordebrisandcleanas

needed.• Draincompressortankonaregularbasistoensureproper

operationofpump.

Troubleshooting Instructions:• Checktoensurethatthedischargehoseisuncoiled

properly,andthattherearenokinksthatcouldobstructfluidflow.

• Checktoensurethattheagitatorisbelowthesolutionlevel.Agitatorwillnotmixproperlyifsolutionlevelistoolow.

• Checktheairregulatorbowl(ABR25)andairfilter(AFR25)fordebrissuchaswater,oil,orrustparticles.Cleanbyunthreadingtheairregulatorbowl(ABR25)fromtheairregulator(R25).

• Ifneedlevalve(NV14Y)valveisopentoofar,thepump(P56/P56K/P56V)willcycleimproperlyduetolackofairpressure.Ifthisoccurs,resetneedlevalveasdescribedinOperationInstruction#4.

• Ifairpassesthroughthepump(P56/P56K/P56V)withoutcycling,thepumpneedstobereplaced.

• Checkforproperairpressureontheairgauge(AG100).Theairregulator(R25)isfactorysetat50psi(3.4bar).Operatingrangeis40to80PSI(3to5bar).
