It is very important that the water system be drained
to avoid freezing and damaging the components.
Drain system as follows:
1. Stop engine, remove key from ignition switch and
remove wires from spark plugs.
2. Remove (2) screws securing drive shield to frame
and remove shield.
3. With the engine ”OFF” and key removed from igni-
tion, rotate the drive coupling by hand until resistance is
felt. Continue to rotate the coupling about 1/4 revolution,
opening the cycling valve.
4. Using the appropriate reducers (National Pipe
thread), connect a source of compressed air (maximum
pressure 150 psi – minimum pressure 90 psi) to the wa-
ter inlets on either side of machine.
DANGER: Compressed air can penetrate the skin
and cause physical harm. Use extreme caution and
wear protective goggles and gloves when working
with high pressure air. Get prompt medical attention
if an injury occurs.
5. Let compressed air flow through the machine for 3
minutes. While compressed air is flowing, temporarily
open the spray wash and high pressure drain valve,
purging water from the spray wash and high pressure
system.
6. Disconnect compressed air and reducers. Reinstall
the drive shield previously removed and tighten the re
-
lief valve tube.
7. Remove and drain the water filter container. Install
new filter and replace the filter container.
