Flushing
•
Generally, flush if you will be shut down for
more than 3 days. Flush more often if mate-
rial is moisture sensitive and humidity is
high in the storage area, or if material may
separate or settle out over time.
•
Flush out old fluid with new fluid, or flush
out old fluid with a compatible solvent
before introducing new fluid.

Use the lowest possible pressure when
flushing.

Always leave some type of fluid in system.
Do not use water.

For long term storage, flush out the solvent
with a storage fluid such as Bayer Mesa-
moll plasticizer or, at minimum, clean motor
oil.
Flush equipment only in a well-ventilated
area. Do not spray flammable fluids. Do not
turn on heaters while flushing with flamma-
ble solvents.
