Operation 

(cont.)

5.  Discharge operation

: To return filtered chip-free 

coolant to the sump, wash down the machine, 
or discharge dirty coolant into your recycling or 
disposal system, close the suction inlet ball valve. 
Push the DISCHARGE button and depress the 
discharge hose nozzle valve.  
A.  Be sure the suction inlet ball valve is fully  
 

closed before operating in the  

DISCHARGE mode! 

B. 

IMpORTANT

! Be sure the suction inlet ball  

valve is fully closed or fully open, depending  

on the desired operation (closed-discharge,  

 open-suction). 

Failure to do so will allow  

particulates to enter the valve seat and  

seize the valve.

6.  Stop the motor as soon as fluid stops passing 

through the hose. 
A.  The cleaner is to be adjusted and/or repaired  
 

only by qualified service personnel. If these  

personnel need more information than is  

provided in this manual, they should contact  

Eriez HydroFlow at 814-520-8540

.

B.  The sump cleaner will discharge nearly all  
 

of the fluid in the bottom of the tank. This is  

unimportant if the compartment is used for  

one type of coolant only. If different coolants  

are to be handled in that compartment,  

remove its drain plug to empty it completely.

7.  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. 

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 not exiting the center of  

the tower, return (lower) 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. 

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.

1.  Before operating this equipment for the first time, 

and periodically thereafter, review the SAFETY 
INFORMATION beginning on page three of  
this manual.

2.  Suction vacuum and discharge pressure are 

simultaneously applied to both compartments  
of this twin compartment unit. Select the 
compartment to be used by attaching the hoses 
to the appropriate fittings and cap off the other 
tank fittings.

3.  For suction operation: Activate the float switch for 

the compartment selected by setting the TANK 
OVERFILL PROTECTION SELECTOR to the 
corresponding position. This float switch prevents 
overfilling of the compartment and pump damage 
during the suction cycle, by causing the suction 
holding circuit to drop out at a predetermined tank 
liquid level.

4.   Connect the cleaner to the electric supply 

specified on the control panel. 
A.  Correct phasing of the electric supply outlets  
 

is essential. The sump cleaner’s motor runs in  

one direction to perform the suction operation  

and in the opposite direction for discharge.
