3.  Discharge Operation:

 To return filtered,  

chip-free coolant to the machine, to wash down 
the machine, or to discharge coolant into your 
recycling or disposal system: 
A.  Close the suction inlet valve completely. 
B.  Close the vacuum valve completely. 
C.  Connect the compressed air supply line to the  
 

compressed air inlet. (This compressed air  

inlet is equipped with a preset, nonadjustable  

pressure reducing regulator to lower the air  

pressure to 7 PSI. A 15 PSI safety “POP- 

OFF” valve in this same line acts as a back  

up to prevent over-pressurizing the sump  

cleaner tank). Turn on the air supply by  

opening discharge valve. 

D.  Depress the discharge hose nozzle handle. 
E.  When discharging operation is complete,  
 

turn off the compressed air supply by  

closing discharge valve and close the  

discharge nozzle. 

F.  Discharge valve is a three-way ball valve that  
 

will depressurize the sump cleaner tank when  

fully closed. To avoid possible injury, do not  

leave the sump cleaner pressurized.

4.  To empty the filter basket: 

A.   Remove tower lid. 
B.   Attach lifting device to basket rings.   
 

CAuTION

: All components used to lift basket  

(steel cable, hooks, crane, etc.) must have a  

minimum capacity of 1000 pounds. 

Operation Requirements 

(cont.)

C.  To avoid the basket binding in the tower  
 

during removal, position the lifting power  

source (e.g. crane) directly over the center  

of the basket. 

D.  Hoist the basket. Keep hands and fingers  
 

clear. If the basket is binding and unable to  

lift freely, return (lower) the basket to the sump  

cleaner tower. Reposition the lifting device so  

that the basket exits the center of the tower. 

E. 

DO NOT TOuCH BASKET DuRING  

 REMOVAl.

F.    Position the basket over the waste receptacle. 
G.  Standing clear, open the basket trapdoor by  
 

pulling the locking pin cable. 

H.   Once the basket is empty, carefully close the  
 

trapdoor and slide the locking pin into place. 

I.  Check the filter sleeve. If it is badly soiled  
 

or clogged, turn it inside out and wash it  

in a suitable cleaner. Replace filter when  

necessary. (Refer to the MAINTENANCE  

section of this manual.) 

J.  Inspect the basket hoisting rings for signs  
 

of rust. Replace the basket with a new one  

if the rings are heavily corroded. 

K.  Keeping hands and fingers from under the  
 

basket lip, reseat the basket in the tank and  

clamp down the tank lid.
