Fill and Charge Pressurized Water System
CAUTION:
Release air tank pressure by discharging fluid at hose end before removing fill plug. Injury may result if air pressure is not released.
1.
Turn valve handle (1) horizontal so handle is in line with hose.
2.
Squeeze water nozzle (2) to release water.
3.
Slowly remove plug (3).
IMPORTANT:
Avoid machine damage. Add 25 kg (55 lb) calcium chloride to water tank before air temperature drops below 0°C (32°F). Adding 25 kg (55 lb) calcium chloride will protect to -29°C (-20°F).
When the temperatures are consistently above freezing, the system should be flushed thoroughly and refilled with water. Calcium chloride will cause corrosive damage if left in the system.
4.
Fill tank with water. The approximate operating capacity of water tank is 53 L (14 gal).
CAUTION:
Plug has a vent cross hole for release of air pressure. Do not use a substitute plug.
5.
Install plug.
6.
To pressurize system, connect air hose to fitting (5) and add air. Watch gauge (4) for correct air pressure.
