PRIMING THE CHEMICAL PUMP
NOTE: PROCHEM recommends that the chemical
pump be primed whenever the water pump is ON.
This will eliminate possible pressure fluctuations
and water pump pulsation’s related to a dry
chemical pump.
1. Place the chemical inlet tube and the chemical
prime tube into the chemical container.
NOTE: When placing the chemical inlet tube into
the chemical container, make certain that it stays
fully submerged since the chemical pump will not
function if air is allowed to enter the inlet line. DO
NOT operate the chemical pump without the inlet
strainer properly installed.
2. Turn the chemical selector valve on the control
panel to the PRIME position. The chemical will
then flow from the chemical container through the
chemical prime tube.
If the chemical does not flow, then:
a) Put the chemical prime tube into the vacuum
inlet on the unit and seal off the vacuum inlet.
The vacuum will quickly pull chemical from
the chemical container. When the chemical
starts to flow, turn the chemical selector
valve to OFF, place the chemical prime tube
back into the container, and turn the
chemical selector valve back to PRIME to
continue the procedure.
b) Once continuous chemical flow without air
bubbles has been achieved, turn the
chemical selector valve from PRIME to
METER. With the cleaning tool open,
observe the flow meter and adjust the
chemical metering valve until the desired rate
of chemical flow is obtained (the chemical
metering valve is located on the control panel
below the flow meter).
WASTE PUMP
1. If your unit is equipped with an automatic waste
pump, connect one end of a garden hose to the
pump-out connection on the console and the
other end to an appropriate waste disposal.
2. Turn the pump-out switch on the control panel to
the ON position. The waste pump will operate
automatically throughout the cleaning operation.
We recommend that you use a 3/4" I.D. water
hose as a waste pump outlet hose. DO NOT use
a hose smaller than 5/8" I.D.
NEVER use your automatic waste pump outlet hose
as a water inlet hose.
NEVER dispose of waste in storm drains, water
ways, or on ground areas. Always dispose of
waste in accordance with Local, State, and
Federal laws.
