Servicing the booster tank
It is essential to drain the booster tank when servicing the booster tank and
its valves. This is in order to prevent scalding, since the temperature of the
water in the booster tank is about 85 degrees Celsius (about 180 degrees F).
Booster tank with drain tap
The tank is drained via a drain tap on the back of the tank. Make sure that the tap is not
open before unscrewing the plug. If a nipple with G 1/4 male thread is used, together

The microswitch must be checked as well, since it activates the booster tank. The
booster tank heating must never be on when the door(s) is/are down for loading/unload-
