Descriptions of the gauges, control buttons, and LED indicators that make up the control panel are listed below. 
Please become familiar with these control panel features and functions before using the unit

.

 

 

Stop Button

 

Stops all run conditions. 
 

Fill/Purge Button

 

Fill: 

Transfers fuel from the fuel tank of the vehicle being serviced to the 

unit’s reservoir.  

Purge:

 Relieves fuel lines of remaining pressure by 

transferring fuel back into the unit’s reservoir. 
 

Engine Vacuum Gauge

 

Displays vacuum pressure on the vehicle being serviced. 
 

Reverse Polarity LED

 

Illuminates when:  

  Polarity is reversed on the connection between the vehicle battery and 

the 

unit

 

Down Arrow LED

  

Illuminates when the fill/purge process is under way. 
 

Up Arrow LED

  

Illuminates when the service is under way. 
 

System Warning LED

  

Illuminates when:  

  The fuel/detergent mixture runs out before run time expires. 

  Vehicle or unit pressure drop (less than 5psi) is detected. 

 

Warning Alarm

 

Sounds when the service is complete, or when the vehicle or unit’s pressure 
drops below 5psi. 
 

Fuel Level Window 

 

To view the amount of fuel/detergent mixture remaining in the unit’s 
reservoir.  
 

Cycle Complete LED

  

Illuminates when the service ends. 
 

Fuel Pressure Gauge

 

Displays output pressure of the unit’s

 

output hose, or system pressure of the 

vehicle being serviced. 
 

Start Button

 

Begins the service. 
 

Pressure Adjust Regulator

 

Used to adjust the system pressure during the cleaning process. Turn 
clockwise to close (increase the pressure); counterclockwise to open 
(decrease the pressure).

 

 

Leak Test Button

 

Begins the Leak Test. 
 

Timer Buttons

 

Allows the increasing or decreasing of time on the timer.  The 

­

 

button 

increases the time, and the  

 

 button decreases the time. 

 

Time LED
